Hello, I recently purchased the Topic Custom Fields addon and have some slight problems.
I managed to create my custom html code for my topic.
The first problem is that I
can't seem to get the dropdown to be the same width as the other fields.
The other problem is that when I choose my input, when I add the topic, the value doesn't get saved.
I also attach some screenshots.
Thanks in advance,
Marios
Hi @marios-georgiou,
Please provide your forum URL,
about the dropdown width, how I see the dropdown width is wider because of the "Police Measures directed at Perceptions of Migrants".
Hello Kyle,
This is my forum URL : https://perceptions.aditess.com/
As far as my width question goes, I would like box 1 to be the same width as box 2, shown in the attached picture.
I have tried with css but that is as wide as it goes.
Thanks in advance,
Marios
You are doing all incorrect. The HTML field is not for adding form fields, the HTML field is only for HTML codes around the fields. You should never put HTML code of form fields in this field. All fields MUST be created using corresponding options in Add Field screen:
Please remove your HTML code and use the correct way to add fields in Topic Form.
@tomson The problem with that is that the field that I use is not a simple dropdown. I want to have subcategories for each category inside the dropdown. Is there a way I can achieve that?
I'm sorry, but there is no way to do that. You should use the dropdown field to create it. As an alternative to option groups, you can add the same phrase before each option to imitate groups, something like this:
@tomson Thanks for your time. I did end up implementing it like that. But maybe this is something you can add in a future update?
Hi @marios-georgiou,
Could you please try this syntax for dropdown options:
[optgroup=Group 1] Value 1 Value 2 [/optgroup] [optgroup=Group 2] G2 Value 1 G2 Value 2 [/optgroup]
@tomson Hello Tom,
Thanks for the follow up.
I copied the syntax that was included in the screenshot but unfortunately it didn't work.
I'd recommend the following change in the topic custom fields plugin until we release a new version.
Use some plugin which allows editing plugin files or the built-in WordPress plugin file editor, find and open this file: wp-content/plugins/wpforo-topic-custom-fields/wpforotcf.php
Find this code fragment:
private function field_values_to_string($field){
if( $values = wpfval($field, 'values') ){
if( is_array($values) ) {
if( $field['type'] === 'select' ){
$string = '';
foreach( $field['values'] as $k => $v ){
if( is_array($v) ){
$string .= "\n[optgroup=$k]\n" . implode( "\n", $v ) . "\n[/optgroup]";
}else{
$string .= "\n$v";
}
}
$field['values'] = trim($string);
}else{
$field['values'] = implode("\n", $values);
}
}
}
return $field;
}
Replace to this and save:
private function field_values_to_array($field){
if( $values = wpfval($field, 'values') ){
if( is_scalar($values) ) {
$field['values'] = explode( "\n", $values );
if( $field['type'] === 'select' ){
$v = [];
$optgroup = '';
foreach( $field['values'] as $value ){
if( preg_match( '#^ *\[optgroup *= *([^=\]]+?) *] *$#iu', $value, $m ) ){
$optgroup = $m[1];
$v[$optgroup] = [];
}elseif( preg_match( '#^ *\[ */ *optgroup *] *$#iu', $value, $m ) ){
$optgroup = '';
}else{
if( $optgroup ){
$v[$optgroup][] = $value;
}else{
$v[] = $value;
}
}
}
$field['values'] = $v;
}
}
}
return $field;
}
@tomson I do not see the same options shown in your screenshot ???
But I really would LOVE to have the ability to control who can see custom fields. In fact I had this topic opened asking this same question: https://gvectors.com/forum/wpforo-topic-custom-fields/readonly-vs-editable-custom-fields-based-on-user-role/
Yes I have checked it, for now we cannot you with that as the addon doesn't have the functionality that you are looking for.
You should use the Dropdown with its functionality for now.
