TOPIC: Public Form - Display extra fields to registered

Public Form - Display extra fields to registered 8 months 2 weeks ago #43592

Hi, I'm not sure if this is possible.

I've been asked if a registration form that is public can have an additional field that is hidden from public but visible for a registered user when logged in front end.

It's basically so that an Admin of the site can also add registrations with some important admin notes.

Thanks.
D.

That's a two parter but can be done like this. Firstly we need to know the user group of the logged in user so in the php scripts-pre processing section put this
// Get the Joomla user object
$user = JFactory::getUser();
 
// Get user groups
$userGroups = $user->get('groups');
 
// Define the target group ID (replace with your actual group ID)
$targetGroupId = 8; // Example group ID
 
// Check if user is in the target group
$isInTargetGroup = in_array($targetGroupId, $userGroups);
 
// Pass the result to the form
$jsCode = '
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var isInTargetGroup = ' . json_encode($isInTargetGroup) . ';
    </script>
';
echo $jsCode;

Now in the javascript section add this
<script>
 document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
    // Select the parent div of the form field with the specific classes
    var fieldContainer = document.querySelector(".rsform-block-show");
 
    if (isInTargetGroup) {
        fieldContainer.style.display = "block"; // Display the field and label if user is in target group
    } else {
        fieldContainer.style.display = "none"; // Hide the field and label if user is not in target group
    }
});
 
</script>

In the above javascript you need to target the specific class in the query selector. In this case I've used a field with the name 'show', change this to your field name e.g: notes so the rsform-block-show becomes rsform-block-notes though you will need to check this is correct for your form.
I'd suggest you create a test form with two fields 'show' and 'hide' and try it out
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, then you obviously don't understand the situation!

I haven't tested this but amend the Php to check an array of user groups like this which will check if the user is in one or more if the groups
// Get user groups
$userGroups = $user->get('groups');
 
// Define the target group IDs (replace with your actual group IDs)
$targetGroupIds = [8, 12, 15]; // Example group IDs
 
// Check if the user is in any of the target groups
$isInTargetGroups = count(array_intersect($targetGroupIds, $userGroups)) > 0;
 
// Pass the result to the form
$jsCode = '
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var isInTargetGroups = ' . json_encode($isInTargetGroups) . ';
    </script>
';
echo $jsCode;

and then modify the javascript to include all the fields you want to show if they are
// Pass the user group check to JavaScript
$jsCode = '
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var isInTargetGroups = ' . json_encode($isInTargetGroups) . ';
        document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
            // Field IDs to control display
            var field1 = document.getElementById("field1"); // Replace with actual field ID
            var field2 = document.getElementById("field2"); // Replace with actual field ID
 
            if (isInTargetGroups) {
                // Show fields if in target groups
                field1.style.display = "block";
                field2.style.display = "block";
            } else {
                // Hide fields if not in target groups
                field1.style.display = "none";
                field2.style.display = "none";
            }
        });
    </script>
';
echo $jsCode;

thank you very much for your quick reply. i have tested it with different groups and it works! compared to the previous example, however, i only hide the field and not the caption. is it possible to make a final suggestion on this aspect too? thank you again

Try this modification of the js which should show/hide the fields show and show2, you should only need to add your own classes in the querySelectorAll in your finished form
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
    // Select all parent divs with the classes 'rsform-block-show' and 'rsform-block-show2'
    var fieldContainers = document.querySelectorAll(".rsform-block-show, .rsform-block-show2");
 
    if (fieldContainers.length > 0) { // Ensure there are elements to process
        fieldContainers.forEach(function(fieldContainer) {
            if (isInTargetGroups) {
                fieldContainer.style.display = "block"; // Show the fields and labels
            } else {
                fieldContainer.style.display = "none"; // Hide the fields and labels
            }
        });
    } else {
        console.warn("No field containers with the specified classes found.");
    }
});

i hope i've interpreted it correctly, i'm reporting the code with my ‘sconto’ and ‘note_uniongaia’ fields inserted in the ‘CSS & Javascript’ field. it works for the ‘sconto’ caption while the ‘note_uniongaia’ caption remains displayed. but i'm fully satisfied with the help, i might as well delete it to solve it. thanks

// Pass the user group check to JavaScript
$jsCode = '
<script type="text/javascript">
var isInTargetGroups = ' . json_encode($isInTargetGroups) . ';
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
// Field IDs to control display
var field1 = document.getElementById("sconto"); // Replace with actual field ID
var field2 = document.getElementById("note_uniongaia"); // Replace with actual field ID

if (isInTargetGroups) {
// Show fields if in target groups
field1.style.display = "block";
field2.style.display = "block";
} else {
// Hide fields if not in target groups
field1.style.display = "none";
field2.style.display = "none";
}
});
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
// Select all parent divs with the classes 'rsform-block-sconto' and 'rsform-block-note_uniongaia'
var fieldContainers = document.querySelectorAll(".rsform-block-sconto, .rsform-block-note_uniongaia");

if (fieldContainers.length > 0) { // Ensure there are elements to process
fieldContainers.forEach(function(fieldContainer) {
if (isInTargetGroups) {
fieldContainer.style.display = "block"; // Show the fields and labels
} else {
fieldContainer.style.display = "none"; // Hide the fields and labels
}
});
} else {
console.warn("No field containers with the specified classes found.");
}
});
</script>
';
echo $jsCode;

Lets simplify it a bit, your complete js should look like this, do heck your classes though. I've taken the console log out as we don't need them unless you want them for debugging
// Pass the user group check to JavaScript
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
    // Ensure isInTargetGroups is defined and boolean
    if (typeof isInTargetGroups !== 'undefined') {
        // Select all parent divs with the classes 'rsform-block-sconto' and 'rsform-block-note_uniongaia'
        var fieldContainers = document.querySelectorAll(".rsform-block-sconto, .rsform-block-note_uniongaia");
 
        if (fieldContainers.length > 0) { // Ensure there are elements to process
            fieldContainers.forEach(function(fieldContainer) {
                if (isInTargetGroups) {
                    fieldContainer.style.display = "block"; // Show the fields and labels
                } else {
                    fieldContainer.style.display = "none"; // Hide the fields and labels
                }
            });
        }
    }
});

A quick amendment, I set up a test form with a few fields and used sconto and note_uniongaia for the hidden if not in user group. The note field stayed visible so I checked the css selector and it's not .rsform-block-note_uniongaia with the underscore but becomes rsform-block-note-uniongaia so amend your javascript to this and it should work for you. if you find the label is above the field and you want them inline change display="block" to display="flex"
// Pass the user group check to JavaScript
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
    // Ensure isInTargetGroups is defined and boolean
    if (typeof isInTargetGroups !== 'undefined') {
        // Select all parent divs with the classes 'rsform-block-sconto' and 'rsform-block-note-uniongaia'
        var fieldContainers = document.querySelectorAll(".rsform-block-sconto, .rsform-block-note-uniongaia");
 
        if (fieldContainers.length > 0) { // Ensure there are elements to process
            fieldContainers.forEach(function(fieldContainer) {
                if (isInTargetGroups) {
                    fieldContainer.style.display = "block"; // Show the fields and labels
                } else {
                    fieldContainer.style.display = "none"; // Hide the fields and labels
                }
            });
        }
    }
});

i apologise, for the complete lack of programming knowledge and for the great patience you have. i need to know how the complete javascript code should be written. because now pieces of code are appearing above the header of the site. if i have understood correctly i should rename the value in my form from note_uniongaia to note-uniongaia. right?
the php code remains unchanged as i understand it, in addition to the javascript code (if you can insert it in full), do i also have to write something in the CSS declarations?

No need to rename the note_uniongaia. The reason that the code appears in your form is simple - the <script> and </script> tags are missing so they just need adding in the rsform javascript section like this

<script>
js code from my reply #43578 goes here
</script>

it should look like this

<script>

// Ensure isInTargetGroups is defined and boolean
if (typeof isInTargetGroups !== 'undefined') {
// Select all parent divs with the classes 'rsform-block-sconto' and 'rsform-block-note-uniongaia'
var fieldContainers = document.querySelectorAll(".rsform-block-sconto, .rsform-block-note-uniongaia");

if (fieldContainers.length > 0) { // Ensure there are elements to process
fieldContainers.forEach(function(fieldContainer) {
if (isInTargetGroups) {
fieldContainer.style.display = "block"; // Show the fields and labels
} else {
fieldContainer.style.display = "none"; // Hide the fields and labels
}
});
}
}
});

</script>

Nothing needed in the css area and the php code is unchanged
