Repeat selection determined by radio input selection

I have a multi-step form which runs across 5 pages. Page 4 has a radio input field with 6 options which are simply numbers 1-6. what ever number is selected, i would like it to determine the amount of repeats the repeat selection on the next page ( page 5 ). I will then want to use a multiple insert behaviour on the repeat selection.

I’ve tried this so far:

I applied a form data binding to use the radio input value on page 4 as the dynamic value in the repeat selection on page 5 as follows:

<?php
$wa_repeatfor = ".((isset($_POST["specify"]))?$_POST["specify"]:"") ."; // Repeat Selection 1
$wa_repeatcount = 0;
while ($wa_repeatfor) {
$wa_repeatfor--;
$wa_repeatcount++;
?>

this causes a 500 error to the page.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong here.

I’ve attached the two pages..

Thanks in advance

I'd need FTP access and a url with steps to reproduce the issue in order to debug this one.

OK thanks Ray see PM

Try:

$wa_repeatfor = ((isset($_POST["specify"]))?intval($_POST["specify"]):0); // Repeat Selection 1

Hi Ray,

Thanks for this, your code update works great now.

There is another issue I have now which is with the jQuery validate plugin I’m using with the forms.

It’s basically an error placement issue with the radio input field.

Before I used the repeat selection with this I used the code below to display the errors in the correct elements below the form group

if ( element.attr( "name" ) === "title_1" ) {
error.appendTo( "#title-error" );
}
else if ( element.attr( "name" ) === "title_2" ) {
error.appendTo( "#title2-error" );
}
else if ( element.attr( "name" ) === "title_3" ) {
error.appendTo( "#title3-error" );
}
else if ( element.attr( "name" ) === "title_4" ) {
error.appendTo( "#title4-error" );
}
else if ( element.attr( "name" ) === "title_5” ) {
error.appendTo( "#title5-error" );
}
else if ( element.attr( "name" ) === "title_6” ) {
error.appendTo( "#title6-error" );
}
else {
error.insertAfter( element );
}

Here’s the html sample of form group 1

<div class="form-group">
….radio inputs here
<div id="title-error"></div>
</div>

So this displayed the error message nicely below each form group. ( see screenshot_a )

The reason for this is if I just let the plugin handle the error placement it gets put inside the first radio button div ( see screenshot_b )

So because the repeat selection doesn’t dynamically create the numbers for the error message element, I’m stuck with the screenshot_b.

I would also like to have each section title dynamically created too..

i.e Director 1 … Director 2 … Director 3 etc.

i'm aware this is a javascript / jquery issue.

Is this something you could help with in a support ticket?

Many thanks

Steve

Yes. I can help with that in a support ticket. Just give me a call and we can set up a time.
