Conditional Logic based on post data field

Hi @sitenerds

I hope you are doing well today.

By default, this will be not possible. I pinged out SLS Team to review this and see what will be possible in this case. We will post an update here as soon as more information is available.

Kind Regards,
Kris

Hi again @sitenerds

This snippet should help

add_action('wp_footer', 'wpmudev_number_field_visibility_category', 9999 );
function wpmudev_number_field_visibility_category() {
    global $post;
    if ( is_a( $post, 'WP_Post' ) && ! has_shortcode( $post->post_content, 'forminator_form' ) ) {
        return;
    }
    ?>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
        setTimeout(function() {
			$('.forminator-custom-form').trigger('after.load.forminator');
        }, 100);

        $(document).on('after.load.forminator', function(e, form_id) {
            if ( e.target.id == 'forminator-module-1609' ) { // Please change the form ID.
                $('select[name="postdata-1-category"]').on('select2:select', function(ev) {
					var select_val = $(ev.currentTarget).val();
                    if ( 3 == select_val ) { // Please change 3 to your category ID.
                        $('#number-1').removeClass('forminator-hidden');
                    } else {
                        $('#number-1').addClass('forminator-hidden');
                    }
				});
            }
        });
    });
    </script>
    <?php
}

Note to change 1609 to your form ID and 3 to your category ID.

Hi Kris,

Thanks for looking into this. I tried the snippet but it didn’t seem to work. Could you double-check that it is correct?

For clarity, I separated the JavaScript and PHP codes and input them separately using the WP Code Snippets plugin.

Hi @sitenerds,

Apologies for the delay in responding. It seems that the response was not notified on our end for some reason.

I verified the code on a test website at my end and could confirm it works fine.

Can you please try adding the code using a mu-plugin as suggested instead of using the WP Code Snippets plugin?

Please let us know the result.

Kind Regards,
Nebu John

Hi Nebu,

No worries, thanks for the reply.

I implemented the code as a mu-plugin as instructed, changed the form ID and added in my category ID and it still did not change anything. I still get the same options in the conditional logic: https://ibb.co/ykk05dp

Hi @sitenerds,

Sorry to know that the workaround is still not working at your end.

Can you please try disabling the option “Load form using AJAX” under the Behaviour tab of the form and check if that helps?

If the issue persists, please provide an export of the form using a cloud service like Google Drive or pastebin.com so that we can take a closer look.

Please find detailed instructions on how to export a form in our documentation here: https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/forminator/#import-export

Kind Regards,
Nebu John

Hello @sitenerds ,

It’s been several days since we asked for the above test result and without the response we are not able to provide further assistance.

If you require further help please feel free to reopen this topic.

Hi @wpmudev-support2 / @wpmudevsupport14

Loading form with AJAX was unchecked and I still am not able to select the category in the conditional logic.

Please see export here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IWg5EcKrb_-KNPXnH4bucQiErzRp_BZVXF6n_DvwREU/edit?usp=drive_link

Hi @sitenerds,

It appears the Google Drive URL is private, so we couldn’t access the export. Please make the URL public, so that we can check further.

Looking forward to your response.

Hi @wpmudevsupport11

Here you are: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IWg5EcKrb_-KNPXnH4bucQiErzRp_BZVXF6n_DvwREU/edit?usp=sharing

Hello @sitenerds,

Thank you for sharing the form. Could you please try the following snippet, instead of the previous one:

<?php
add_action(
	'wp_head',
	function() {
        global $post;
        if ( is_a( $post, 'WP_Post' ) && ! has_shortcode( $post->post_content, 'forminator_form' ) ) {
            return;
        }
        
        $form_id = 1609;
        $cat_id = 3;
        $cond_field = 'number-1';
        
		?>
		<script type="text/javascript">
			jQuery(document).bind("ready ajaxComplete", function(){
				if(jQuery('#forminator-module-<?php echo $form_id; ?> select[name="postdata-1-category"]').val() == <?php echo $cat_id; ?>) {
					jQuery("#<?php echo $cond_field; ?>").removeClass("forminator-hidden");
				} else {
					jQuery("#<?php echo $cond_field; ?>").addClass("forminator-hidden");
				}
				jQuery('#forminator-module-<?php echo $form_id; ?> select[name="postdata-1-category"]').bind("select2:select", function(e){
					if(jQuery(this).val() == <?php echo $cat_id; ?>) {
						jQuery("#<?php echo $cond_field; ?>").removeClass("forminator-hidden");
					} else {
						jQuery("#<?php echo $cond_field; ?>").addClass("forminator-hidden");
					}
				});
			});
        </script>;

		<?php
	}
);

– replace the form and category IDs on these lines:

        $form_id = 1609;
        $cat_id = 3;

Hope this helps. Please let us know if there’s still any issue.

Hello again,

I am still getting the same output. The options in for conditional logic do not show the post category: https://ibb.co/PwnWR1z

Hello @sitenerds,

Please note, that the snippet doesn’t add any user interface elements for the conditional logic (this would require additional programming, which is beyond our support scope). I’m sorry for any confusion regarding this.

Instead, it hides/shows the field programmatically, depending on the category which a user selects on the front end.

The options in for conditional logic do not show the post category

You’ll need to specify the ID of the Restaurant category. This ID can be found in the address bar, when you open this category for editing:
https://prnt.sc/CM9YT2Egnxd5

Could you please check if the form and category IDs in the code have been replaced with the correct values, and then try selecting a category in the form after publishing it.

Please let us know if there’s still any issue.

Best Regards,
Dmytro

Hello,

Thanks for clarifying. So the number field correctly is hidden on the front-end when the snippet is implemented, however it does not seem to be showing when I have the category in the post selected.

I went into the category and found the id 50 from the following url: term.php?taxonomy=hp_listing_category&tag_ID=50&post_type=hp_listing

Having replaced this in the snippet, the the field doesn’t show up as expected with the category selected: https://ibb.co/C5pHHqR

The field doesn’t appear with any of the other categories selected either (tested incase there was an issue with the id).

Hi @sitenerds,

Could you please share the full code which you have implemented?

I gave a quick test on my test site and it does work out of the box where the “Average Speed” field only shows up when the category is added under the following line in the code is selected:

  $cat_id = 3;

Is there a page URL where you have the form added so we can check and give a closer look?

Looking forward to your response.

Kind Regards,

Nithin
