Hi There,
I'm trying to populate the options of a generic checkboxes field on a CRED form with views shortcode output as I understand is the intention of the plugin.
The views shortcode outputs the required text, however the field does not display in the form.
When the output from the view is copied into the options attribute, the field displays.
On inspection, there is a heap of HTML generated by the views shortcode that may be interfering with the form rendering as discussed here:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/dynamic-cred-generic-field-options/
Form code
[cred_generic_field field='SelectChildren' type='checkboxes' class='' urlparam='']
{
"required":0,
"validate_format":0,
"default":[],
"options":[ [wpv-view name="select-children-shortcode"] ]
}
[/cred_generic_field]
[wpv-view name="select-children-shortcode"]
Views code
[wpv-layout-start]
[wpv-items-found]
<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
<wpv-loop>
{"value":"[wpv-post-id]","label":"[wpv-post-title]"},
</wpv-loop>{"value":"all","label":"all"}
<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
[/wpv-items-found]
[wpv-no-items-found]
<strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong>
[/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]
You can see the output of the form code below, also page html showing excess html.
