Feature Idea

[Mike]

One event that is according to use really important and frequent and missing is change.
We have checked and blank/not_blank.
What about the cases where a user has an active amdin field filled, then change the content of this field. If it is dynamic, it could also trigger something. Could we have an event 'change' ?
Regards,
Michael

Good idea @misner
I have just implemented it (new event added "changed"), give it a try.
Note: it is fired only the first time an input is changed (currently I don't check if the value is set back to the original value)

Cool. I implemented a custom JavaScript for our need last week. I'll post later what we did as it might give some insights/ideas for your great gem. Our basic need was: remove the content of a field 2 when the content of a field 1 is changed (included if it becomes empty). It occurs anytime/multiple time if needed. We also add a specific message in the field "hints" of the field 2 when its content gets removed (while ensuring only 1 msg is present even if there was multiple changes).

Sure. Post your code if you like.
But I would like to keep the plugin generic, a specific request should be managed with a custom function as you already did.

Definitely sounds the right approach. Le sam. 24 févr. 2018 à 19:34, Mattia Roccoberton <[e-mail]> a écrit :

Here's the gist of our js custom script (on field change it impacts field 2)

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('.field1').on('change', function(){
    console.log("detected change in a field1 value");
    $targetInput = $(this).find( 'input' ); 
    if ( $targetInput.val() != "" ) {//restrict: trigger if video has not been removed
      $targetField2Input = $(this).closest( 'fieldset' ).find( '.wrapper_html_class input' );//target via wrapper_html put on field 2
      $targetField2Hints = $(this).closest( 'fieldset' ).find( '..wrapper_html_class2 .inline-hints' );
      //clear related Image url value
      $targetField2Input.val('');
      //explain to user he must change field2 following new/change in video url field
      if ( $targetField2Hints.find('.status_tag.red').length === 0 ) { //restrict: if the red alert is not already present
        $targetField2Hints.prepend( "<p class='status_tag red'>You have entered a new field1 value or changed the field1 value, so please adjust also Field2 valuel. </p>" );
      }
      //remove alert msg when user begins typing in the field
      $targetField2Input.on('keydown', function(){
       $targetField2Hints.find('.status_tag.red').remove();
      });      
    }
  });
});
