Select multiple and perch_pages_navigation
Hi Drew/Rachel,
I had some code running on a page which has been working perfectly. In short, I am pulling in the perch_pages_navigation
as a variable in to a select list in a Perch form and using a template to comma separate it.
Code on the page:
<?php
PerchSystem::set_var('centreName', perch_pages_navigation(array('navgroup' => 'business-centres','template' => 'centres_select_options.html','levels' => 1,),true));
perch_content_custom('Enquiry Form', array(
'template'=>'general_enquiry_form.html',
));
?>
The select options template:
<perch:pages id="pageNavText" />
<perch:if exists="perch_item_first">
,
<perch:else />
<perch:if exists="perch_item_last">
<perch:else />
,
</perch:if>
</perch:if>
The select list that is on the form template:
<perch:input type="select" data-validation="required" data-validation-error-msg="Please select a business centre" data-validation-error-msg-container="#centre-select-error-dialog" options="Please Select|, <perch:content id="centreName" label="Centre name"/>" id="centreName" label="Centre" />
The client would like to allow multiple items to be selected. Am I right in thinking that Perch forms will not allow multiple select option as i tried it an it only passes in the first option?
Perch forms currently don't have a model for a single field holding multiple values. It's something we may add in the future but it's not available now.
So would that apply to a checkbox group?
You might get away with it if you don't have any validation errors.
No, doesn't seem to work, I don't get anything in the stored response.
Ok, then it looks like the answer is currently no.
