form field states multivalue patch

The patch is missing. I think this is really important can you please post it?

Here is my attempt.

hmm let's put the right patch this time

don't know why tests would be failing retesting.

#3: 1001172-mulivalue_states-1.patch queued for re-testing.

#3: 1001172-mulivalue_states-1.patch queued for re-testing.

This would be the eventual complete fix in d8. #735528: FAPI #states: Fix conditionals to allow OR and XOR constructions But I think this is a good middle ground for d7. The syntax changes compared to the d8 patch is minimal.

Here is a module to test with. Apply the patch and go to yoursite.com/examples/form_example/states
Text will appear if you choose "Four" or "Lots" in the drop down.

Here is the form code used.

$form['how_many_years'] = array(
    '#type' => 'select',
    '#title' => t('How many years have you completed?'),
    // The options here are integers, but since all the action here happens
    // using the DOM on the client, we will have to use strings to work with
    // them.
    '#options' => array(
      1 => t('One'),
      2 => t('Two'),
      3 => t('Three'),
      4 => t('Four'),
      5 => t('Lots'),
    ),
  );

  $form['comment'] = array(
    '#type' => 'item',
    '#description' => t("Wow, that's a long time."),
    '#states' => array(
      'visible' => array(
        // Note that '5' must be used here instead of the integer 5.
        // The information is coming from the DOM as a string.
        ':input[name="how_many_years"]' => array('value' => array('4', '5')),
      ),
    ),
  );

Subscribing

While this has clear merit, it's actually a little tiny API change, and I just would rather not do that now, especially when changes like this can be done in contrib. #735528: FAPI #states: Fix conditionals to allow OR and XOR constructions was probably the right way to do this and it didn't get in.

Sorry, but IMO this should wait, and please make a nice module and link to it here because everybody will want to do this.

Subscribing.

I'm going to mark this as a duplicate so it doesn't linger. Not really necessary if it isn't going in d7.

@peem83 all work on this issue is now done here #735528: FAPI #states: Fix conditionals to allow OR and XOR constructions
