Hi Sebloders
Concept
Create a category and at same time create a user group with the same title.
My Solution
I used jQuery on my cat_title field to dynamically duplicate 'value' on to user_group_title_backend:
/* The field I wish to retrieve the data from */
$( "#cat_title" ).keyup(function(e) {
/* Storing the value as a variable */
$catTitleValue = $(this).val();
/* The field I wish to set with the variable */
$("#user_group_title_backend").val($catTitleValue);
/* funky :) */
});
Options
1
I could have added a module to the page and using SD CCK Live plugin retrieved the value.
- For this I would need two submit buttons, or make a button submit both forms at the same time (seems fair enough!)
2
Have usergroup form embedded in category form and retrieve the value dynamically.
- SD CCK Live only works when it is NOT in the main content item, ie it works when it is in a module placed on same page as content,
- SEBLOD Form & List Pack (2 plug-ins) form' field functions only in content views, not form views.
Other Solutions
I know there are other ways of achieving this, maybe with the plugin BeforeStore (Code Pack (5 plug-ins).
Any suggestions on how I could/should do this would be greatly appreciated
