Forms App and hidden fields

Hi Drew,

Thanks for this. Im nearly there but just not sure how to get my data in to the variable.

On the page I have this code:

PerchSystem::set_var('lang', 'en');

In the form template I have this:

<perch:input type="hidden" label="Centre" id="lang" />

All works fine and 'en' is passed in to the email and form response in Perch.

My issue is replacing the 'en' with

<perch:pages id="pageNavText" />

I just get a blank or <perch:pages id="pageNavText" /> in the response.

I am clearly doing something wrong but I am not sure what!

Hi Drew,

That has worked perfectly. Is there any documentation on this:

perch_pages_navigation_text(true)

So I can understand it better?

Thanks, Andy

Thanks Drew, it was me being thick, I searched but on the forum rather than docs... :(

Sorry Drew,

Related to this, can we do the same sort of thing with a select field? I need to populate the options="" on a perch form with the perch_pages_navigation_text

Hi Drew,

I just can't get this to work whatever I do :(

I have a static page with the following code:

<?php
  perch_form('general_enquiry_form.html');
?>

and the template contains this select field:

<perch:input type="select" options="<perch:content id="centre-name" type="text" label="Centre Name" />" id="test" label="Centre" />

...but the select options are not showing.

I have alson tried:

<perch:input type="select" options="<perch:pages id="pageNavText" />" id="test" label="Centre" />

but this doesn't work either.

Any ideas?

Hi Drew,

Im nearly there (I think). I am now using this code on the page:

<?php
  PerchSystem::set_var('centreName', perch_pages_navigation(array('navgroup' => 'business-centres','template' => 'abc.html','levels' => 1,),true));
  perch_content_custom('Enquiry Form', array(
  'template'=>'general_enquiry_form.html',
  ));
?>

and this in the template:

<perch:input type="select" options="<perch:content id="centreName" />" id="centreName" label="Centre" />

...but I'm getting all of the results in as one option in the select list.

Hi Drew,

<select id="centreName" name="centreName">
<option selected="selected" value="Business Centre OneBusiness Centre Two">Business Centre OneBusiness Centre Two</option
</select>

Spot on, thanks Drew... I need to learn to look for the simple stuff!
