Repeatable Form Field

[l...@wigginsclan.net]

Hi,

In my custom component, I had created a custom field that was based on the repeatable JForm field.

Up until the 3.7 upgrade, it was working really well.

Post upgrade I have noticed that it is duplicating the chzn drop down inputs contained in the repeatable elements.

I have debugged it down to the following function causing the problem:

[code]

self.fixScripts = function($row){

        // chosen hack

        if($.fn.chosen){

        $row.find('select').chosen()

        }

        //color picker

        $row.find('.minicolors').each(function() {

        var $el = $(this);

        $el.minicolors({

control: $el.attr('data-control') || 'hue',

position: $el.attr('data-position') || 'right',

theme: 'bootstrap'

});

});

        // fix media field

        $row.find('a[onclick*="jInsertFieldValue"]').each(function(){

        var $el = $(this),

        inputId = $el.siblings('input[type="text"]').attr('id'),

        $select = $el.prev(),

        oldHref = $select.attr('href');

        // update the clear button

        $el.attr('onclick', "jInsertFieldValue('', '" + inputId + "');return false;")

        // update select button

        $select.attr('href', oldHref.replace(/&fieldid=(.+)&/, '&fieldid=' + inputId + '&'));

        });

        // another modals

        if(window.SqueezeBox){

        SqueezeBox.assign($row.find('a.modal').get(), {parse: 'rel'});

        }

        };

[/code]

Primarily it is this line within the above function:

[code]

// chosen hack

if($.fn.chosen){

$row.find('select').chosen()

}

[/code]

I have looked in the repeatable script file in 3.7 the offending lines are not in the version 3.7 code as it was in the 3.6.5 version.

However, if I remove that line, my selected values are not displayed properly.

Is anyone able to shed any light on how I fix this?

Thanks

Unfortunately, repeatable fields are just broken, and deprecated. as of J3.7 You should use the subform field any time you need a field that will repeat.

the key with subform to get the repeating function is "If attribute multiple set to true then the included form will be repeatable."

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I will update to use subform instead.

Thanks again
