I am trying to: I have a cred where I have to select a parent from a drop menu list. Works fine, but this "No parent" option is annoying. I am trying to change the text "No parent" to "select...". Any clue please? I found one post in the forum about the same issue but it does not give a solution
Thank you

I added this JS:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
id = jQuery('select[name="_wpcf_belongs_acad-years_id"]').attr('id');

jQuery("#"+id +" option[value='-1']").text('select');

});
and it works, but is there an easier way from Toolset options?

Hello, Nabils.

Welcome to the Toolset support forum.

I would like to thank you for pointing this issue to us at the support forum and I’ll report this as a feature request if its possible to add “No Parent” text to CRED form text block.

I'll ask our developers to add an extra option to enable "No parent" to be changed to whatever the user chooses.

Meanwhile please keep using your JS workaround.
I'll keep you posted when I'll hear back on this subject from our developers.

Please let me know if you need further info about this.

Thanks,
Itamar.

Hi, Nabils.

I gave another shot at this issue, and I would like to ask you to try and add the following attribute to your field shortcode.

no_parent_text='Select'

Select should replace the "No parent" text.

Your shortcode should then look something like that.

[cred_field field='_wpcf_belongs_book_id' value='' order='date' ordering='desc' no_parent_text='Select']

Please let me know if the above solution works for you, I look forward to your reply!

Thanks,
Itamar.

Dear Itamar,
Thanks for the following up. Yes, indeed, it works! However, how do I force the user to select a value other than "Select" for this parent field?

Actually, I did it with the validation Hook (see below), but is there a straightforward method?
add_filter('cred_form_validate','my_validation',10,2);
function my_validation($field_data, $form_data)
{
//field data are field values and errors
list($fields,$errors)=$field_data;

//uncomment this if you want to print the field values
//print_r($fields);

//validate if specific form
if ($form_data['id']==524)
{
//check my_field value
if ($fields['_wpcf_belongs_acad-years_id']['value']!='Select')
{
//set error message for my_field
$errors['_wpcf_belongs_acad-years_id']='Please select an academic year!';
}

}

//return result
return array($fields,$errors);
}

Sorry there was an error in the previous code. I should be:

....
if (isset($fields['_wpcf_belongs_acad-years_id']['value']) && $fields['_wpcf_belongs_acad-years_id']['value'] == "-1")
{
//set error message for my_field
$errors['_wpcf_belongs_acad-years_id']='Please select an academic year!';
}
....

Hi, Nabils.

I'm glad that you could come up with the validation hook solution.

Unfortunately, there is no a more straightforward method for that.

Please let me know if you need further info about this.

Thanks,
Itamar.
