I don't need it to be AJAX enabled for this project (in fact it makes my life even easier as I can now access and display the $_POST variables between pages) so I think I can carry on as normal now but it may be nice in the future to have the ability to use a pre_render style hook for each page of a multi-page form using AJAX. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-checkbox-to-select-a-single-quantity-of-each-product#post-171355 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:08:18 +0000 mjdigital 171355@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Chris</p> <p> I have found that my solution does not work when going back a page in a multi-page form. I have tried adding the same function to the gform_post_paging action hook but it does not seem to work and the checkboxes have reverted back to their original, pre-replaced state.</p> <p>I originally thought it was because the fields are already rendered and just shown via JavaScript but if I add a function with an exit() statement to the gform_post_paging hook then the next page does not load at all so there must be some server side processing going on?</p> <p>Any ideas? If not then I will need to write a JavaScript equivalent but that's a bit of a long hacky way round.</p> <p>Thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-checkbox-to-select-a-single-quantity-of-each-product#post-170536 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 22:54:16 +0000 Chris Hajer 170536@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for sharing your solution. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-checkbox-to-select-a-single-quantity-of-each-product#post-168597 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 04:32:01 +0000 mjdigital 168597@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Chris</p> <p> Thanks for the reply, in the end I bit the bullet and coded it in using the pre_render hook. Basically I set the dynamic variable name as the checkbox value and leave the price blank then to make the field dynamic I set the field class name to "dynamic_options" and save it.</p> <p>Then in my functions file the code: <a href="http://pastebin.com/2BXy9CS7" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/2BXy9CS7</a> basically looks for any field with the dynamic_options class and loops through each option looking for a $_GET variable with the same parameter/variable name as the option value, if it finds one then it sets the price for that option to be the value of the $_GET variable and changes the option value to use the option text so the field is more obvious to the end user once submitted. (just for your info I actually set the $_GET variables directly in PHP rather than passing them via the URL - so something like $_GET['optional_extra_price'] = 'very expensive!'; )</p> <p>It's a bit of a dirty hack and I'm still in testing for this code but so far it seems to work nicely.</p> <p>Thanks again for the reply</p> <p>MJ </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/using-checkbox-to-select-a-single-quantity-of-each-product#post-168471 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 01:51:10 +0000 Chris Hajer 168471@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I can help you with dynamically checking a box.

When I mentioned that users need only one, I meant the product quantity is only one, but there are several different workshops (products) to select on the page. Disregard the instructions on the form, as we decided to allow only one person to sign up at a time. Essentially, I want to replace the "No. of Students" field with a simple checkbox that registers a product quantity of one when totalling the account.</p> <p><a href="http://grab.by/jKzq" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/jKzq</a></p> <p>Any help you could provide would be great.

You mentioned "user needs to only sign up for one of each" but also "they can select multiple workshops", so I was a little confused. Maybe there are multiple time slots for the same workshop or something? If we can see what you have online, maybe we can come up with a solution for you. </p>
