Showon attribute in xml file

[karinep]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set a showon attribute in a field in /plugins/fabrik_element_databasejoin/forms/fields.xml to make like a conditional field, doesnt anyone know if this attribute is working on Fabrik? because no changes happen in the frontend.

Best regards,
Karine

Hi,
According to the Wiki it should work: http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?wiki/fabrik-back-end-form-fields-a-f/
Make sure syntax and all is correct?

But you should not hack a Fabrik core file.
You can create your own element plugin.

Hi,

I'm pretty sure that I'm doing correctly, I tried to use the simplest example in https://docs.joomla.org/Form_field#Showon and didn't work. Take a look:

<field
    name="foo"
    type="list"
    >
    <option value="1">JYES</option>
    <option value="0">JNO</option>
</field>
<field
    name="bar"
    type="text"
    showon="foo:1"
/>

This results in:

I did some tests in administrator\components\com_contact\config.xml file and here works perfectly, maybe is the version of something.. Do you have any hints?

Does it work outside of Fabrik, e.g. with a Joomla custom field?

Hello,

Yes, look the images. I use the simple example in https://docs.joomla.org/Form_field#Showon in administrator\components\com_contact\config.xml and worked, but using the same example in plugins\fabrik_element\databasejoin\forms\fields.xml doesn't worked.
