[SOLVED] databasejoin and cascadingdropdown fields

[peppe10]

Hello to all,
in a form I have two fields: the first databasejoin and the other cascadingdropdown. It works only in the mobile phone and only with the protostar templates. How to make it work in Chrome, Explorer and Mozilla browsers? Thank you all http://www.plabruzzo.it/index.php/navigazione

Looks like the problem is that you are using a template that automatically applies "Chosen", an enhanced dropdown jQuery plugin:

https://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/

... to all dropdown menus. Which makes them look pretty, but also completely changes how any Javascript has to work to use them. It probably works on mobile because those browsers don't implement Chosen.

Fabrik does allow for the use of Chosen, and you can try enabling it in the Fabrik global options (Forms tab), and then in your join and CDD elements, enable 'enhanced' (Layout tab). But I can't guarrantee it'll work, as Fabrik will then try and apply Chosen to our own dropdowns. Which may well conflict with your template also doing it.

Bottom line, templates shouldn't do that. It breaks other extensions that need to use Javascript with dropdowns.

You might check in your template settings, see if there's a way of disabling Chosen, preferably on a per-extension or per-menu-item basis.
