Good evening everyone.
I'm looking for a way to display a company address on a clonable page, based on a location chosen from the backend.
That is, I would like:
If I choose from backend: France
In the front end I have:
ACSE corporation
via heart, 32
Paris

If I choose from backend: Italy
In the front end I have:
ACSE spa
Via delle rose, 12
Milan.

I tried to set the values of the companies in the global file, then how can I recall them?

Thanks to those who can help me

Hi,

I tried to set the values of the companies in the global file,

Could you please post your current code?

Thanks KK,
my code is below.

Code: Select all

<?php require_once( 'admincms/cms.php' ); ?>

  <cms:template title='Global Setting' parent='impostazioni' executable='0'/>
  
  <cms:editable name='def_filiali' label='Elenco Filiali' desc='Inserisi le filiali' type='group' collapsed='1'/>      
    

       <cms:repeatable name='filiale' label='Filiale' stacked_layout='0' group='def_filiali'>
      
      <cms:editable name='sede_filiale'
        label="Sede di" 
      desc='Inserisci sede della filiale' 
       type='text'
      group='def_filiali' />
      

   <cms:editable name='dati_filiali'
        label="Dati Filiali" 
      desc='Inserisci i dati delle filiali' 
       type='richtext'
       toolbar='full'
      group='def_filiali' />
      
   </cms:repeatable>   
      
<?php COUCH::invoke(); ?>

Formed by only 2 fields (I felt it was more convenient)
The first is the branch office
The second containing address, telephone etc. etc.

I would like that by pointing to the branch field, I would go and fetch the data of the second corresponding field.

Thanks.

This use-case can be solved using 'relations' but since the list of addresses is not likely to be huge let us continue with the repeatable-regions you used. Following is how we can solve the issue -

For the sake of clarity for anyone chancing upon this thread later, I'll use this definition for the repeatable-regions -

Code: Select all

<cms:repeatable name='offices' label='Offices'>

    <cms:editable name='office_name' label="Name" type='text' />
    
    <cms:editable name='office_address' label="Address" type='textarea' />

</cms:repeatable>

I am assuming the above is placed in a non-clonable template named 'globals.php'.
With data it could look like this -

Now suppose you wish to show a dropdown listing the names of the offices above in any another template.
We can create such a dropdown by dynamically populating it with values from the global repeatable region (as first shown in viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1671&p=2483&hilit=dynamic_params#p2483).

To do that, place a snippet (in 'couch/snippets' folder or whatever folder you have set for snippets in couch/config.php file) named 'my_list_addresses.html' and place the following content -

Code: Select all

Please Select=-
<cms:get_field 'offices' masterpage='globals.php'>
    <cms:show_repeatable k_field_name >
        | <cms:show office_name />
    </cms:show_repeatable>
</cms:get_field>

N.B. if you are not familiar with <cms:get_field> please take a look at viewtopic.php?f=5&t=11105

The snippet above iterates through the repeatable-region in globals.php and outputs the office-names. We can use it to populate a dropdown editable region by placing the following definition in the template where you want to offer the dropdown -

Code: Select all

<cms:editable name="selected_office" label="Selected Office" opt_values='my_list_addresses.html' dynamic='opt_values' type='dropdown' />

You should now see a dropdown showing values from your global repeatable-region -

Ok, so now the user can select an office in the backend using the dropdown.
We can use that selected office to output the full address as follows -

Code: Select all

<h2>Office</h2>
<cms:get_field 'offices' masterpage='globals.php'>
    <cms:show_repeatable k_field_name >
        <cms:if office_name eq selected_office>
            <h3><cms:show office_name /></h3>
            <cms:nl2br><cms:show office_address /></cms:nl2br>
        </cms:if>
    </cms:show_repeatable>
</cms:get_field>

Hope this helps. Do let me know.

Thanks KK for the detailed explanation.
I will try to put into practice what you have indicated to me.
I hope to succeed and to give news.
Thank you

Thanks KK, your solution works great.
Thanks to your indications, I have also used the system for other functionalities.
Great Couch !!

Thanks I am glad it helped.
