A little Javascript hack to help manage choice fields in Machform 2.

quick_choices.js Javascript hacks to manage choices for a Machform drop down field George Lesica [e-mail]

Installation:

1. Insert the following in edit_form.php inside the fieldset for drop down list choices (around line 339)

   Quick Choices
   

   <textarea class="textarea" style="width:200px;" id="quick_choices"></textarea>
   Insert Delete All

2. Place a copy of this file in the js directory of your Machform install

3. Include a reference to this file in the include/header.php file (best to make it the last one inside )

Instructions:

Once the script has been installed a text box will appear at the bottom of the Choices properties box. When the Insert button is clicked, each line of this box will be added as a new choice for the current drop down object. This allows lists to be rapidly constructed by copy-pasting.

It will also insert a button (Delete All) to clear the list of choices. This lets you easily wipe out and update an entire list.

Notes:

This is only known to work with Machform 2
