Hi,

I wonder if you know of a module that would allow me to create a series of 3 Dynamic Combo boxes (also heard them referred to as Drop Down Lists) in the member registration area. I need to be able for people who register to do the following:

1) Select from a drop down list an item

2) Depending which item is selected in first choice then choose an item from a second drop down list

3) Depending which item is selected in second drop down list be given a choice in a third drop down list


I would ideally love a group of five related drop down lists but the minimum I think I can get away with is a group of 3.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated

Hi Bill,

Welcome to OS Training. Glad to see you with us.

There may be a module you can use, but it would really help if we knew if it was for Joomla, WordPress or Drupal. They each have their own modules.

Let us know and we'll try to help.

Cheers
Ed

SORRY!! :(

It is for Joomla.

(Now I will go into the corner for half an hour and hang my head low in shame for not saying in OP) :)

Thanks

Bill

Hi Bill,

No problem. It happens often :)

OK, you should likely use Fabrik to accomplish what you're after. Here's our tutorial on using Fabrik to create Custom Joomla User Registration Forms:

Hope this helps! :)

Kind regards,
Nick

Hi Edandrea & Nick,

This looks like exactly what I needed - though I am warned at the outset it can be difficult, but that just means time and patience.

I only registered with OS a few days ago and already your help has been fantastic, I can tell you now that 'so-called' professionals said that there was nothing like what I wanted available and it would cost me several thousand pounds to have it developed!

Again many thanks.

Bill

P.S. Hope you have a ready supply of aspirin and coffee on hand, I bet I will be back soon for more pointers. ;)
