Conditional uStore Logic

[hevelhouse]

Hello.  I'm new to XMPie.  I've been using it for three weeks now.  One thing I noticed is the lack of adding conditional logic.  Here is an example:  I have a radio button.  If a user chooses yes to this button, I want a dropdown box to appear and make it a required field to choose an item.  If they change their mind and chose no on the radio button then the dropdown box will disappear and not be required anymore.  I also want this to happen on within the same step, not on another step or tab.

If this has been discussed before please refer me to the post and I'll research that option.

Is that possible?

Thanks,

Shawn

What you are seeking is not available in the uStore admin when setting up the customization, but could be achieved by adding some custom javascript or jquery to the page.

Depending on your exact scenario, another way may be to use a HTML Generic Dial.

[Igor]

it is possible to do so with HTML Generic , but uStore also offers related / sub property workflow .

Unfortunately your first control has to be Gallery List View or Gallery Grid View , once your first dial will be one of those you can make a second dial appear once x value selected (in the dial configuration there is a checkbox in the Appears in steps: Sub-property of : 

[hevelhouse]

Thanks for the inputs.  I tried the gallery view and sub-property works good.  Is there a way to make the sub-property required when the parent property was clicked Yes?  Is there a way to set that up with the HTML generic tag or some other method?

Thanks,

[Igor]

All controls have a validation so depend on control subproperty can have different validations

[hevelhouse]

Thanks for the update.  I don't believe that works. I tried changing that field to mandatory.  It now requires me to answer this field even if the parent field still says no.  I only want to force a user to answer the sub-property when the parent property is marked yes.  Am I missing something?

Thanks,

sub property can be only connected to one value , meaning if you have parent with Yes and no you connect it to Yes . Another dial should be connected to no if you want to get some other value, that will require to create additional ADOR or in your case it has to be a variable.

[hevelhouse]

Igor.  Thanks so much for your help on this.  I'm sorry but I'm still a little confused.  Have you gotten this to work before.  I've attached some screenshots in a PDF for your review.  Maybe I'm still missing something.  I have a radio button that is set to Yes/No.  I've set up this as a Gallery List View and made the No the default option.  I have a drop down list for when they choose Yes from the parent radio button.  I've marked this as mandatory as well.  Per your instructions I chose and extra random variable that I had laying around to use for the parent No radio button.  I just made it an empty HTML Generic control.

I hope I set all of this up correctly.  Please correct me if I'm wrong. 

When I go to test it out in the store they following happens:  I get an error message when my parent radio button is no.  It tells me I need to chose a value from my drop down list which is tied to my yes option.  It shouldn't prompt me for anything because the parent radio button is no.  I should only get prompted when the parent radio button is Yes.

Thanks for your help.  I'm looking forward to your response on this because I'm apparently missing something.

[hevelhouse]

Couch or anyone,

I want to explore the HTML generic more.  How can you determine the field names so I can change the attributes for the controls?  I'd like to make fields required or show them as hidden or visible, how do you get the name of these fields so I can perform these actions?  I've not found anything in the documentation or this group talking about this.

Thanks,

Shawn , I see the problem. amd HTML Generic is not relevant here you didn't anderstood my comment about HTML Generic , forget about second sub dial you do not need it in this case.

It seems to me as a bug, , meaning if sub-property is mandatory and has no default value it asks user to select value for control that is not visible.

I'd open a bug here with support.

Now what can be done.

First you can have a default value setup , obviously only if customer will go and change it to no value and then use NO you will have a problem (but this is a very unique case).

if you know javascript you can use HTML Generic instead. 

[Igor]

I attached example of such HTML generic , I'm using JQuery .

Default Value:75

Object ID:

Callback Function:PassValue

Markup:

#DIAL_DISPLAY_NAME#:

<select id="wba">

<option value="100">100</option>

<option value="75">75</option>

<option value="50">50</option>

</select>

<script language="JavaScript">

function setDefaultValue(){

$("#wba").val("#DIAL_VALUE#").attr("selected", "selected");

} 

function getMyVal(){

var myval = $("#wba").val(); 

PassValue(myval);

}

$("#wba").change(getMyVal);

setDefaultValue();

</script>

Hi all,

    Hoping someone can help here. This is the desktop version of Ucreate. When a name has an apostophe in it, like O'Brien, it's getting converted to a carrot, O>Brien.  it's correct in the data. I've used CSV'd to apply quotes around the data. I've tried a different font. Nothing seems to work. 

THANKS!!

hi ,

this is most likely a character conversion issue regarding different

character sets. Could you open the file in for example Ultra edit or

any editor that shows the character table used in the file..

for example..Ascii, ansi, iso8859 etc...

make sure the csv file is identical to the character table you are using.

Also a single left quotation mark is not a standard character in iso8859-1 latin set.

let me know which character set the file is in...

Met vriendelijke groet, 

Walter

I am looking to do the same thing but with check boxes. 

I am using this as a product property for zip codes. The user can choose multiple zip codes and i need that information to write back to the order details in the back office. 

Any suggestions?

Thank you
