Dependent fields
The ability to show/hide form items depends on the value of another form item
This module intent to simplify long form submission by your sites' users. Sometimes the user does not have to fill some form fields that may divert him/her from the most important field. Websites in which there are large forms may find this module helpful. You can use it with any kind of field type and it encapsulates itself into the CCK field's admin page.
The Dependent Field module also allows you to determine whether the dependent "child field" will be attached right after its "parent field" in the form or not. This way the user can easily see how the his/her choices affect the form.
The module also allows nested fields dependencies, which means that a field can depend on the value of a certain field that also depends on another field. This way you can start your node edit page with few questions and the user will explore the node form depending on his/her choices.
For now, The module only supports values from single on/off checkboxes, a group of checkboxes/radio buttons or selection fields.
This module also supports the Related Subform module. It is possible to hide/show a subform element depends on a field's value.
Installation Requirements
Drupal: 5.x only
PHP: 5.x or greater
Future developments:
- the ability for fields in a subform to depend on the parent form fields' values
This module is on final development so be cautious if using it on production sites.
Unfortunatly, My PhD research needs a big push forward. I'm looking for a resposible drupal developer to take care and continue developing this module. Please email me if you are interested.
