I have created two text fields that will display on a registration form.
After the registration based on these two text fields I want to display their values as a select field.
Is this possible? Is there a way to create a select field which will take choices based on another fields values?
I can display these fields on a select field with the following code but the problem here is that I cannot save the choise value.
<select name="cars" id="cars">
<option value=" <?php the_field('car_type_1'); ?> " > <?php the_field('car_type_1'); ?> </option>
<option value=" <?php the_field('car_type_2'); ?> " > <?php the_field('car_type_2'); ?> </option>
</select>
After doing some research I think that the best way to achieve this is by creating a repeater field with a text subfield.
The question now is how can I display this repeater field as a select field with the values of the text subfields and how can I save the value from the select field choise (the repeater field will display in a registration form).
UPDATE
So I’ve managed to display the repeater field as a select box with the following code
<select name="cars" id="cars">
<?php
// Check rows existexists.
// Loop through rows.
while( have_rows('yacht_type1') ) : the_row();
// Load sub field value.
$sub_value = get_sub_field('name');
// Do something...
echo '<option value="'.$sub_value.'">'.$sub_value.'</option>';
endwhile;
?>
</select>
Now what I’m actually searching for is how to get and store the value from the select box.
I’m not sure I understand completely what you are trying to do, so this may or may not be helpful.
Created an options page. On the options page you have a repeater with a text sub field. You enter all of the possible values that you want in the select field. Then you create a select field where you want to use these values and you dynamically populate the choices.
Actually you helped a lot.
I was trying to populate the choises from a field group that was showing on users.
Is it possible to do this on a field group that is showing somewhere else besides options page?
I’m trying to show this field group on users panel but the populate functions doesn’t work there.
