[SOLVED] Javascript | Apply form when dropdown option chosen or date element filled in + SOLUTION

[marcq]

Hi,

Is it possible to apply (form is saved but not closed) when the user is choosing an dropdown option or filling in a date element ?

Could you please explain me shortly ?

Thanks in advance, cheers, marc

You should be able to do this:

this.form.mockSubmit('apply');

... in the onChange event for the element.

If you need to be more specific, eg. only when the dropdown has a certain value, you'd have to do you own test, like ...

if (this.getValue() == '2') {
   this.form.mockSubmit('apply');
}

NOTE - if you don't have an Apply button on your form, you'll have to do a github update to pick up this change I just made:

https://github.com/Fabrik/fabrik/commit/989d92adb41d607d2df58f6cbc2c38474478d86b

... which allows specifying the 'apply' to the mockSubmit() even if you don't have an Apply button on your form.

Great, it works fine Hugh, thanks again for your always prompt and useful support.

Corollary to this issue when the form is applied, I would like the user not to loose the focus on the group tab and|or element.
Is this possible ?

Solution from Hugh to #1

function applyDropdown() {

  // GET FORM REFERENCE
  var form = Fabrik.getBlock('form_59');
 
  if (form.formElements.get('gprh_fabrik_user_registration_332_repeat___type_finance_entree').getValue() != '') {
    form.mockSubmit('apply');
  }
};

function applyDate() {

  // GET FORM REFERENCE
  var form = Fabrik.getBlock('form_59');
 
  if (form.formElements.get('gprh_fabrik_user_registration_332_repeat___date_envoi_facture_fe').getValue() != '' ||  form.formElements.get('gprh_fabrik_user_registration_332_repeat___date_envoi_facture_fe').getValue() == '0000-00-00 00:00:00')  {
    form.mockSubmit('apply');
  }
};

You'd have to roll some code to remember the state and re-apply it on the reload, there's nothing baked in to do that, and it's not something I can write off the top of my head for you.
