Hi all,

I'm trying to do something which I thought was going to be simple...

I am attempting to use RS Form Pro for this type of question:

Did you find this page helpful?
Yes
No

... and some text is displayed which depends on the user's response.

I had first assumed that I could do this with radio buttons and no Submit button, but of course that doesn't work, as Submit needs to... well... submit. So, I then used two buttons and didn't get far with that. So, my approach is now to use radio buttons and Submit. All good so far.

So, with what I want to do, the new "if" statement is ideal:

www.rsjoomla.com/support/documentation/v...-scripts-syntax.html

and here's my test "thank you" message, using form component "dtq1":

<p>Thank you for your submission.</p>
<p>{if {dtq1:Yes}}You said Yes{/if}</p>
<p>{if {dtq1:No}}You said No{/if}</p>

but...

I can't get it to work. I only see "Thank you for your submission."

What am I missing?

Cheers,
Paul

Hello,

You make a mistake in the use of placeholders, look at the basic documentation, if you want to display the contents of dtq1 field just use the placeholder {dtq1: value} in the text of the mail or thank you message, it will display Yes or No according to what has been checked, no need anything else !

Have a good day.

Hi Didier,

Many thanks for your response. However, I don't want to display the value of dtq1, I want to display a piece of text based on how the user responds to dtq1.

So, if the user clicks "Yes" to dtq1, I want to display a different piece of text to if the user clicks "No".

Is that possible...?

Cheers,
Paul

Please keep in mind that the new "if" statement is pretty limited at the moment, for example checks like if(radio has value yes) are not possible with this feature.

The only thing you can use the if statement for, is to check if a field contains a value. In your case you can only use it for something like the following:

{if {dtq1:value}}You have selected either Yes or No{/if}
