• 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.

Form With Repeatable Subform (With Repeatable Subform)

Hi!

I am developing an order entry system. I currently have 3 forms: Customers, Orders and Products.

When accessing the Customer List, I want to add orders and orders add products. That is:
- Customers form, not repeatable as there will be one for each customer;
- Orders Subform, repeatable customers may have multiple orders;
- Sub-Subform Products, repeatable as orders can have multiple products;

The idea is to access the customer form and create a new order, and in each order can add products.

How can I solve this situation?
 
Hi,

Sorry but, no, you can't have nested repeatable groups. So, no repeatable group (products) inside a repeatable group (orders).

Why not do it like every other shop system does it:
- List "customers"
- List "products"
- List "orders" incl FK customer_id
- List "products_ordered" incl FKs product_id and order_id
etc

Hi lousyfool, thank you in advance for the answer!
This project is a bit specific, so see if you could get out of the standard order management idea.

Returning to this idea, but slightly altering the operation.
- Customers form, not repeatable as there will be one for each customer;
- Orders Subform, repeatable customers may have multiple orders;
- In the order subform, have a button to open a form (popup) and enter the items of each order;

Operation:
- We created the customer record;
- We enter customer orders (customer may have multiple orders);
- For each order placed, have a button (identical to a list) to open the subform of articles of the order in popup;
- Insert articles in the order subform (popup);

Is this form of registration/operation possible?
 
We are in need of some funding.
More details.

Thank you.
