Repeated Group -> Headline with consecutive numeration

[instituttm]

Hi,

i'm a little stuck with the following problem:

I have a form with some groups. One of this groups could be repeated 3 times. I have to make the headlines in the following way:

• "Repeated headline 1"
  • field 1
  • field 2
  • field 3
• "Repeated headline 2"
  • field 1
  • field 2
  • field 3
• "Repeated headline 3"
  • field 1
  • field 2
  • field 3

The red number is, what i need. When you normally repeat a group, you have always the same headline. I'm searching for a way with consecutive numbering.


Thx for help,
Dan

oh, i was wrong. the headline isn't repeating when the group is repeated.

I would do it with a custom template:
copy e.g. the default template, edit default.php, around line 94 change

<?php if ($group->canRepeat) {
foreach ($group->subgroups as $subgroup) {
  ?>

to something like

<?php if ($group->canRepeat) {
$i=0;
  foreach ($group->subgroups as $subgroup) {
$i=i+1;
echo 'your header text '.$i;
?>

Hi troester,

i'm sorry, but it doesn't work :-/. have a look at the attached screenshot for more details.

Ok, a typo; it must be
$i=$i+1;
echo '<span style="color:red">Teilanlage '.$i.'</span>';

Change your group name to "Angaben zur Anlage" and add the style you want
Then you'll get somethink like
Angaben zur Anlage
Teilanlage 1
xxx
xxx
+ -

Teilanlage 2
...

still not working. This is my code:

<?php if ($group->canRepeat) {    
     $i=0;
     foreach ($group->subgroups as $subgroup) {
         $i=$i+1;
?>
<div class="fabrikSubGroup">
    <?php echo 'Teilanlage '.$i; ?>

Now it shows the subheadline on every repeated subgroup, but the counter doesn't work:

• Teilanlage 1
• Teilanlage 1
• Teilanlage 1

Maybe it's only possible with JS? Because it's generated on the client side.

It's working on my site with exactly your code.


Edit: ah, I only tested with existing subgroups. Adding a subgroup is JS, so yes, there must be some JS to do this (but I don't know where).

Hi,

Maybe it could help you. Rob wrote some piece of JS and CSS some time ago to help me achieve something very similar to what you are waiting for.

It's working on a F2 site. No idea how it could work for F3.
