relation from different groups

  • Hello,

    Is it possible to use relation from different groups?
    I’m trying to migrate from another Builder but this scenario seems not to be valid in your builder.

    e.g:

    
'params' => array(
	'group 1' => array(
		array(
			'name' => 'param1',
			'label' => 'Param 1',
			'type' => 'dropdown',
			'options' => array(
				'1' => '1',
				'2' => '2',
				'3' => '3',
			),
			'value' => '1',
			'description' => 'Description of Param 1',
		),
	),
	'group 2' => array(
		array(
			'name' => 'param2',
			'label' => 'Param 2',
			'type' => 'text',
			'value' => '',
			'description' => 'Description of Param 2',
			'relation' => array( 'parent' => 'param1', 'show_when' => array( '2', '3' ) ),
		),
	),
)

    Is this a hard restriction or do you plan to support this scenario?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello again,

    I might wait for a while otherwise i’ll have to delete all these relations when parent is on another group.

    I have another similar question that also seems to be a restriction.
    This is regarding the textarea and textarea_html. During migration again i had some shortcodes that used param with name content with a textarea but not the full html one. In some cases we don’t need the insert media and all these settings of the html editor but a plain textarea.

    I see in your code that this field name ( content ) supports 3 types:

    • text
    • textarea
    • textarea_html
    
if (data.name == 'content'){						
	var fields_support = {
		textarea_html: 'Textarea Html',
		text: 'Text field',
		textarea: 'Textarea',
	}
}

    But only textarea_html seems to work correctly, the other two work only as attribute content. And textarea always with base64 code.

    Is it possible to use a normal textarea like textarea_html ( using “__the content__” instead attribute “content” ) so the actual content is displayed in the builder plain not compressed?

    https://docs.kingcomposer.com/available-param-types/textarea-html-field/

    If this is not possible with the current elements maybe a new element e.g: textarea_plain could used instead so the logic is not changed. so someone could switch from textarea_html to textarea_plain when he doesn’t want to show the advanced editor in such cases.

    Or better an extra option in textarea_html to show the textarea as plain.

    Sorry for the long question, i just need to understand your restrictions as i need to migrate to your Builder 50 custom shortcodes.

    Thanks in advance!
