The options of a select field needs to be shown in a list on the profile page shown for public.
Now it shows in a row seperated by a komma.

How to change

Hi,
this is not possible natively, but you can use same method at https://www.easy-profile.com/support/input-will-be-shown-as-a-list.html

You can add in function "triggerProfileUpdate" something like:


$options = (array) json_decode( $data[ 'select_alias_field' ] );

if ( is_array( $options ) && count( $options ) ) {

    $content = '<ul>';

    foreach( $options as $option ) {

        $content .= '<li>' . $option . '</li>';

    }

    $content .= '</ul>';

    $data[ 'textarea_field_alias' ] = $content;

}

else $data[ 'textarea_field_alias' ] = '';


NOTE: This code is not tested and not supported, this is only for example purpose.

Have you replaced "select_alias_field" with alias of your select field and "textarea_field_alias" with the alias of your textarea field?

Hi,
there are different ways to make this, the most simple is to add an array with association between value and text of options, for example:


$texts = array(

    'value1' => 'text1',

    'value2' => 'text2',

    'value3' => 'text3',

);


of course you need also to change function that creates list items, so it become


$content .= '<li>' . $text[ $option ] . '</li>';

the functions could be something like this:


$texts = array(

    'value1' => 'text1',

    'value2' => 'text2',

    'value3' => 'text3'

);

$options = (array) json_decode( $data[ 'select_alias_field' ] );

if ( is_array( $options ) && count( $options ) ) {

    $content = '<ul>';

    foreach( $options as $option ) {

        if( isset( $text[ $option ] ) ) $content .= '<li>' . $text[ $option ] . '</li>';

    }

    $content .= '</ul>';

    $data[ 'textarea_field_alias' ] = $content;

}

else $data[ 'textarea_field_alias' ] = '';

Hi,
yes, there is a small error in my code, replace this:


if( isset( $text[ $option ] ) ) $content .= '<li>' . $text[ $option ] . '</li>';

with this:


if( isset( $texts[ $option ] ) ) $content .= '<li>' . $texts[ $option ] . '</li>';

Hi,
my code is only for example purpose, you need to change values in the array with values and text of select field.


$texts = array(

    'value_for_option1' => 'Regisseur',

    'value_for_option2' => 'Technicus',

    ......

);

Hi,
you need also to replace value_for_option0, value_for_option1,... with values from your select fields, for example if you have options like:

music|Music
art|Art

then array will be




$texts = array(

		'music' => 'Music',

		'art' => 'art'

)

Hi,
only thing.. when there will be an option added, i need to change the skeleton.php either..
Yes, you should add the new option in the skeleton.php file, there is also another way to make it dynamically but it is too complex.

I like to do this the same for a checkboxlist.
But it seems i have to change the code a little bit
Can you tell me how?



class PlgJsnSkeleton extends JPlugin

{

	public function triggerProfileUpdate($user,&$data,$changed,$isNew)

	{

		$texts = array(

		'0' => 'Acteur',

		'1' => 'Voice-over',

		'2' => 'Vertaler',

		'3' => 'Regisseur',

		'4' => 'Technicus'

	);

		$options = (array) json_decode( $data[ 'test3' ] );

		if ( is_array( $options ) && count( $options ) ) {

		$content = '<ul>';

			foreach( $options as $option ) {

        if( isset( $texts[ $option ] ) ) $content .= '<li>' . $texts[ $option ] . '</li>';

    }

		$content .= '</ul>';

		$data[ 'test3_text' ] = $content;

	}

	else $data[ 'test3_text' ] = '';

	}

}

Hi,
the code is the same, you should change options array (value and title) and alias of field (so from "werkzaamheden" to checkbox field alias)

this is an expected behavior, triggers are launched when you register or edit a profile.
