requiring custom field with drop down box

[dr_patso]

Hey Steve,

Is this right.. in your first reply to this thread you say to remove the start before section

what about the start after section do I get the whole thing or just how much you have in your code box??

Code: Select all

<!-- START CUSTOM AFTER -->
   <?php
   /* custom fields AFTER comments */
   $print_table = 0;

   foreach ($hesk_settings['custom_fields'] as $k=>$v)
   {
      if ($v['use'] && $v['place'])
       {
          if ($print_table == 0)
           {
              echo '<table border="0" width="100%">';
              $print_table = 1;
           }

nevermind, i just removed the whole section.

if you want your custom field to highlight in red upon error like the original required fields

Code: Select all

<td style="text-align:right" width="150" >Time Spent:<font class="important">*</font></td>
	<td width="80%"><select name="custom3" <?php if (in_array('custom3',$_SESSION['iserror'])) {echo ' class="isError" ';} elseif (in_array('custom3',$_SESSION['isnotice'])) {echo ' class="isNotice" ';} ?> >

Thats funny, after responding to your last inquiry, i started looking at my script, I noticed that I was missing that functionality.

Also, if your user has input text in all but one (or more) required feilds, and error is generated, but without the code below the data they entered will be lost and they will have to reenter it.

add this to the end of your string there

Code: Select all

<?php if (isset($_SESSION['as_custom3'])) {echo stripslashes(hesk_input($_SESSION['as_custom3']));} ?>

[dr_patso]

lol Steve, I was just coming here to say i noticed that custom fields dropped any data upon another error.

I think with that code you just posted it's perfect, minus having to code in new fields which anyone managing a tool like this should be able to do.

[dr_patso]

Hey steve where exactly do I put, not sure what you mean by the end of my string.

Code: Select all

<?php if (isset($_SESSION['as_custom3'])) {echo stripslashes(hesk_input($_SESSION['as_custom3']));} ?>

I've been plopping it all around my drop down and it doesn't seem to accomplish anything.

[steve]

Whenever I have questions about default HESK functionality, or where the code goes, I always consult the default Hesk 2.3 installation files. I run a separate installation of hesk that is just the basic install with no mods, that way if i remove of change something, I can always refer back to the base install.

Having said that, the code you need it this

Code: Select all

	<tr>
	<td style="text-align:right" width="150" valign="top"><?php echo $hesklang['message']; ?>: <font class="important">*</font></td>
	<td width="80%"><textarea name="message" rows="12" cols="60" <?php if (in_array('message',$_SESSION['iserror'])) {echo ' class="isError" ';} ?> ><?php if (isset($_SESSION['as_message'])) {echo stripslashes(hesk_input($_SESSION['as_message']));} ?></textarea><br /><br />
    </td>
	</tr>

Where "message" = your custom feild

[dr_patso]

this is how I nailed it for the custom fields with text input..

still working on the drop down.

Code: Select all

  <tr>
  <td style="text-align:right" width="150"><?php echo $hesklang['serialn']; ?>:</td>
  <td width="80%"><input type="text" name="custom1" size="40" maxlength="25" value="<?php if (isset($_SESSION['as_custom1'])) {echo stripslashes(hesk_input($_SESSION['as_custom1']));} ?>"Autocomplete="off"/></td>
  </tr>

	  <tr>
  <td style="text-align:right" width="150"><?php echo $hesklang['contract_name']; ?>:</td>
  <td width="80%"><input type="text" name="custom2" size="40" maxlength="25" value="<?php if (isset($_SESSION['as_custom2'])) {echo stripslashes(hesk_input($_SESSION['as_custom2']));} ?>" </td>
  </tr>

the code added was

Code: Select all

value="<?php if (isset($_SESSION['as_custom2'])) {echo stripslashes(hesk_input($_SESSION['as_custom2']));} ?>"

obviously you change custom2 to the appropriate field you are working on.

[dr_patso]

I don't think

Code: Select all

<?php if (isset($_SESSION['as_custom1'])) {echo stripslashes(hesk_input($_SESSION['as_custom1']));} ?> 

works for custom drop down menus.. just works for custom text fields

I think something like this would keep the custom drop down option selected if you error somewhere else.

Code: Select all

if (isset($_SESSION['as_category']) && $_SESSION['as_category'] == $row['id']) {$selected = ' selected="selected"';}
	    else {$selected = '';}

[steve]

I didn't test it on a drop down box.

Klemen may be able to provide an answer to that one.

[steve]

Ok, figured that one out.

To make this work with drop down boxes use something like this

Code: Select all

<option value="Option1" <?php if ($_SESSION['as_custom1']=="Option1") {echo 'selected="selected"';} ?>/>Option1</option>

So your drop down list will look something like this

Code: Select all

<td width="80%"><select name="custom1" <?php if (in_array('custom1',$_SESSION['iserror'])) {echo ' class="isError" ';} elseif (in_array('custom1',$_SESSION['isnotice'])) {echo ' class="isNotice" ';} ?>>
<option value=""/>Please Select..</option>
<option value="Option1" <?php if ($_SESSION['as_custom1']=="Option1") {echo 'selected="selected"';} ?>/>Option1</option>
<option value="Option2" <?php if ($_SESSION['as_custom1']=="Option2") {echo 'selected="selected"';} ?>/>Option2</option>
<option value="Option3" <?php if ($_SESSION['as_custom1']=="Option3") {echo 'selected="selected"';} ?>/>Option3</option>
<option value="Option4" <?php if ($_SESSION['as_custom1']=="Option4") {echo 'selected="selected"';} ?>/>Option 4</option>
<option value="Option4" <?php if ($_SESSION['as_custom1']=="Option4") {echo 'selected="selected"';} ?>/>Option 4</option>

</td>

works for me! thanks Steve! slightly off topic: now i move on to your conditional drop down boxes mod.. if i can get that to work all i've got left for it to be perfect is requiring to update the time spent custom field before ticket can be resolved

[steve]

I have been playing with that one, I have been using a Javascript pop up box that prompts the user to enter some information before a ticket can be resolved.

Ill keep you posted on this. Im trying not to do to much more modification to Hesk, as I am waiting for 2.4 to come out so I can apply my efforts to that.

EDIT: had a <tr> <hr /> formatting issue that didn't effect firfox but ruined the layout in IE.. I fixed.
