Drop Down

Permalink Browser Info Environment
Hi there,

love this add on.

What purpose has the drop down in this block-designer? How can it be of use in a block?

For example I would love to be able to use the drop down to choose a style so that a block can be used with multiple designs just to choose from a class.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

I guess you mean the "select" field type? If so:
When you take a look in the view file, you see the options you entered in a PHP switch. You can enter your code here. If you like different styling/setup of the rest of the view file, copy/paste everything except this switch into the cases of this switch. In each case there is a comment of code which says "// ENTER MARKUP HERE FOR FIELD "Your field name" : CHOICE "Your choice"". See the code below:

<?php switch ($cmsVersion) {
    case "concrete5_old":
        // ENTER MARKUP HERE FOR FIELD "CMS Version" : CHOICE "Concrete5 CMS 5.6"
        break;
    case "concrete5":
        // ENTER MARKUP HERE FOR FIELD "CMS Version" : CHOICE "Concrete5 CMS 5.7"
        break;
    case "concrete5_future":
        // ENTER MARKUP HERE FOR FIELD "CMS Version" : CHOICE "Concrete5 CMS 5.313"
        break;
} ?>


You can also do if/else cases of course, but that totally depends on what you'd need! I'm not sure how experience you are with PHP or coding at all, but this is more of a coding field.

Does that explain it for you? If not, let me know about any questions you still have!

Kind regards,

Ramon

Added some extra options to the "select" field type to output in the view either:

- the PHP switch, where you can build your PHP code yourself;
- the KEY of the selected value;
- the value itself;

The PHP switch is the one in the message above, the value can be "Concrete5 CMS 5.6" and the key can be "concrete5_old" (a choice had been entered as "concrete5_old :: Concrete5 CMS 5.6" in this example).

Kind regards,

Ramon
