[Solved] Formbuilder: possible to pass variables to dropdown

[ElBombo]

Is there a way to pass (smarty)variables to the options of a dropdown created in Formbuilder through the standard way:

Code: Select all

{FormBuilder form='myForm' value_Dropdown=...}

Wouldn't it be easier to do with FormBuilder itself?

You can add a dropdown item to your form, then can add values to that list in the options for that dropdown item.

Sorry wrote "values", as I meant "variables". So in that way you are right and I would have chosen that path, but I have a bunch of smarty variables that I would like to populate an option list.

At the moment I'm trying it to make it happen through this way

But the "Computed field" as suggested at point 4 gives me a value of "0" instead of the value of the option selected.

Strangely nothing is computed, I've even created some dummy fields with some integer values

Code: Select all

$fld_45+$fld_46

but it keeps on giving me "0" back. Am I missing something in the above code?

I've added a javascript function to the page that sets the value of an hidden input when you changet the dropdown, which I've just put hardcoded in a "static textfield" with the smarty variables that set the values of the options.

Although not the way I liked to go (client-side), I put this one on [Solved]
