• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

Advice required for multi-select and list filter

Hi I have a form whereby users will select from a number of options
We need to be able to filter the list based on a number of these selections e.g see all respondents who chose Limerick, Clare and Galway.
Would data capture via a multiselect dropdown or check boxes work, or would Yes/No responses be better? e.g Clare Yes/No, Galway Yes/No Cavan Yes/No

Clare
Galway
Cavan
Louth
Limerick
Mayo
Donegal
Meath
Kerry
Sligo
Monaghan
Westmeath
Cork
Leitrim
Longford
Waterford
Roscommon
Kildare
Tipperary
Laois
Kilkenny
Carlow
Cavan
Offaly
Wexford
Wicklow
Dublin City Centre
Dublin North
Dublin South
Dublin West
 
List filtering should work with a multi-select join element to a "county" table, which is what I presume you are thinking about. Which also gives you more flexibility for any other reporting you may want to do outside of Fabrik, as it gives you a many-to-many junction table with the selections in it.

I definitely wouldn't go for a solution using individual, hard wired Yes/No elements. Use a 'county' table, and a multi-select join to it.

We are in need of some funding.
More details.

Thank you.
