display group based on field, making dynamic

Hi LeoF

Unfortunately this is not something that is directly supported by WebMaker.

In order to achieve this you will probably need to stop using the 'Display Group Based on the Value of a Field?' option completely, and instead replicate this functionality using JavaScript.

I would first create a hidden field next to the group to contain the dynamic value that should be used to control the group visibility. You can configure the page display bindings for this in the normal way to pick up your dynamic value.
Then add an onchange event to your control field that contains the following type of custom script:

var showValue = document.getElementById(objEventSource.repeatId + 'show_value').value; var currentValue = document.getElementById(objEventSource.repeatId + 'control_field').value; if (showValue == currentValue) { hyf.util.showComponent(document.getElementById(objEventSource.repeatId + 'layout_group')); } else { hyf.util.hideComponent(document.getElementById(objEventSource.repeatId + 'layout_group')); }

This assumes that the control field, group, and new hidden field are all in the same repeat, and are called 'control_field', 'layout_group', and 'show_value' respectively.
Also, if you control field is not a text box then you would need to adjust this accordingly.

Another area you will need to consider is making sure that the visibility is correct on page load. It might be best to loop through all the control fields on load and just call the onchange function on each one.

I hope this makes sense, and helps you get started on this.

The WebMaker v5 release should enable this to be performed with the 'Display Group Based on other field values?' without the need for script.
