Dropdown in Multifield in 6.2, dynamically show/hide widgets

Avatar

Level 6

Hi All,

I have a requirement where i have a dtopdown in multifield, based on  the selection values i need to  show/hide other widgets.

For example image/video are the options in  dropdown, for image 3 widgets(path, alt text, url) should show.  For video (id and image path) should.

How to  achieve it? In classic UI i did it with the help of listeners in selection change event, but granite i am stuck.

Please help if anyone knows.

Thanks,

Pradeep

I was talking to AEM Touch UI experts whom said this will not work OOTB, You need to write custom code.

Hi Pradeep,

AEM has OOTB library to implement the hide/show feature. You can use below path:

/libs/cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/dropdownshowhide/clientlibs/dropdownshowhide/js/dropdownshowhide.js

Please refer below working code which might help you in implementing hide/show feature in your granite UI dialog.

Sample dialog xml:

Hi,

This approach works well without multifield. In multifield it affects all elements upon selection of any option. Let's say i am selecting image in first element of multifield so it will show/hide widgets for image. When i add one more element in multifield and select video from dropdown,  it changed first element also in multifield.

To be very frank  classic UI was much more better than touch UI. touch UI no help nothing, simple things became complex in touchUI.

By the time i got little comfortable with classic UI, Adobe introduced this complex concept called touch UI.

It takes lot of time to google and find some solution for basic problem.

Please  share any code which worked in multifield dropdown show/hide widgets.

Thanks,

As mentioned by Techaspect Solutions, the show hide feature is the closest functionality for this requirement.

To make this work in a multi-field, you would need to code against that multi-field. See these articles for examples on how to code with a multi-field:

I was talking to AEM Touch UI experts whom said this will not work OOTB, You need to write custom code.

Below is my custom listener.js code

Hope this will help you.

(function ($, $document) {

//alert("test");

    $(document).on('foundation-contentloaded', function(e) {

        //alert("contentloaded content ::: "+JSON.stringify(e));

    });

    $document.on("dialog-ready", function(e) {

        var $dialog = $('.cq-dialog-floating'); // (3)

        //alert($dialog);

        var componentPath = $dialog.attr('action').replace('_jcr_content', 'jcr:content');

        //alert("componentPath is ::::: "+componentPath);

$.ajax({

            url:componentPath+'.json',

            type:'GET',

            dataType:'json',
