I’m using a snippet from earlier on in this forum, and have just noticed that it doesn’t quite work as intended.
<?php
function populate(&$fields, &$templates){
$names = array(
"Person 1" => 1,
"Person 2" => 2,
"Person 3" => 3,
"Person 4" => 4,
);
global $modx; // Access to DocumentParser
$evt =& $modx->event; // The Snippet call event (not eFormOnBeforeFormParse event)
// Replicate $isPostBack variable
$validFormId = ($evt->params['formid'] == $_POST['formid']);
$isPostBack = ($validFormId && count($_POST) > 0);
// (bool)true if the form is being updated
$mail_id=trim($_REQUEST['sel']);
//save the value of selected to a variable
if (!$isPostBack) {
// Check for NOT postback, cuz we want to populate an empty form
$chosen = isset($_REQUEST['sel'])?$_REQUEST['sel']:99;
$optionTags ="<select name=\"recipient\" id=\"cfRegarding\" eform=\"Form Subject::1\"><option value=\"\">Please Select</option>";
foreach ($names as $name => $value){
$selected=($value == $chosen)? ' selected' : '';
$optionTags .= "<option value = \"".$value."\"".$selected.">".$name."</option>\n";
}
$optionTags.="</select>";
}
$templates['tpl'] = str_replace('[+SelectBox+]',$optionTags,$templates['tpl']);
} else {
// The form has beed posted, let's not disturb the data.
}
return true; // A value of false will stop the eForm parser
}
?>
which works fine, but if the person submits the form without filling out the required fields then I get the following fields need to be filled out...but the recipient dropdown is no longer visible. I suppose this is due to
$isPostBack = ($validFormId && count($_POST) > 0);
if (!$isPostBack) {
but if I remove the if statement then I get a 404 doc not found.
My second problem is
<select name=\"recipient\" id=\"cfRegarding\" eform=\"Form Subject::1\">
will still allow me to submit even if it doesn’t have any value.
Thanks for any pointers!
