Using "OR" with DFFS rules

[Matthew Whittle]

I have a need to hide fields if either checkbox ‘a’ or ‘b’ are checked.
How can I accomplish this with DFFS? or javascript API call, so on?

Hi,
Is this two options in a multichoice checkbox, or two separate yes/no fields?

Current design is two separate fields.

Example:
Field 1) 5307 compliant? (yes/no)
Field 2) 5311 compliant? (yes/no)

If either 5307 or 5311 is yes
Then show tab
Else hide tab
——————–
In this specific case, perhaps I could use a choice field along with {contains} in a DFFS rule. But elsewhere I’ve got potential uses for an [OR] DFFS rule solution, and finally got around to asking here about it.

Hi,
Sorry for the delay. I will look into adding support for “OR these rules = true” in the trigger area to be able to support such a scenario.

Here is a little code snippet you may use in the meantime – add it to the custom js area:

// Onclick
$("#dffs__x0035_307Compliant, #dffs__x0035_311Compliant").find("input:checkbox").bind("click",function(){
	customShowHideTab();
});

function customShowHideTab(){
	var a = getFieldValue("_x0035_307Compliant");
	var b = getFieldValue("_x0035_311Compliant");
	if(a||b){
		$("#dffs_tab_1").show();
	}else{
		$("#dffs_tab_1").hide();
	}
}

// On load
customShowHideTab();

Change “_x0035_307Compliant” and “_x0035_311Compliant” for your field names, and change “dffs_tab_1” to match the index (0-based) of the tab you want to toggle.
