Conditional Inline Message

Hi @julien66

I hope you are doing good today.

I’m afraid this will be not possible when it comes to showing messages on the front end. However maybe one of those solution will be better:

1. create 2 additional HTML fields with your custom messages and set up for each of those fields conditional logic in a way that will show up only when A or B is selected. Any of those HTML fields will show up before they will click on Submit.

2. create additional Email Notifications base on your conditional logic. So in the end you will have 2 Email Notifications with different text messages base on that conditional logic.

Kind Regards,
Kris

Thanks Kris for proposing 2 solutions! But I can’t use them as I don’t use emails and it needs to show up after submit.

I see in the Inline Message editor, there’s a possibility to use \<code\>. Would you know if there’s a way to use some PHP to access the value of the fields from the form?

Thanks

Hi @julien66

The “code” element wouldn’t let you use PHP anyway, regardless whether you can access fields values. It’s just a HTML tag to let you display code on page…

But I think there is a way and it’s similar to the 1st solution that Kris suggested.

I’m assuming that “computes either calculation field A or calculation B depending on what the user chooses for an initial radio button” means that:

– you have two “calculations” type fields in form
– and depending on radio button choice only one of them is shown (regardless of whatever they calculate)
– so that’s based on “Visibility” conditions and both calculations are giving different results

Is that about right?

If yes, you can do this:

– put the third calculations field on form (let’s say it’s {calculation-3})
– optionally set it to be hidden
– assuming that your “Calculation A” and “Calculation B” are, accordingly, fields “{calculation-1}” and “{calculation-2}”, put this formula in {calculation-3} field:

{calculation-1}+{calculation-2}

– in your “Inline Message” simply use {calculation-3} in text where you want to display the value.

I’ve created a basic example form for you to demonstrate such approach:

Hi @wpmudev-support8

Yes that’s exactly my use case: calculating 1 calculation or the other depending on the user choice for the radio button.

And yes, your solution works perfectly fine! Thank you so much for taking the time to properly explain this trick!!

Thanks a lot Adam!

Hi @julien66,

Glad to hear it’s working fine now. Have a great day ahead.
