Hi, how to setup a triggering condition in conditional states based on a substring? Like I want to trigger an action when the value of a field contains the string XXX? I tried to put % around XXX as in the LIKE statement but it is not supported.
Do we need to use "call function" option and define a custom JS function that searches for the substring? If so, to trigger the action the custom function has to return true?
thanks

You will probably need to use function, from what I see in the code it need to return 1 on success on 0 on failure.
Ok, but... when will this function be called..? I don't understand how the trigger is activated when using "call function" condition...
thanks
Hi
Never used this feature but I don't know how the JS function should be written to work here.
Klas, please, can you give us an example ?
thanks

Hi
Without any answer we just give here our simple solution:
- put a conditional state on your field , select the 'function' method and write down the name of the JS function (here triggering_function )
- create a JS code field (in RAW mode) in the view or just write the JS code in the template
- the JS code should look like : in this example art_alias is the triggering field
function triggering_function ()
{
var value = document.querySelector('#art_alias').value;
if value == "This is the end"
return 1;
else
return 0;
}
of course for this purpose we don't need a JS call but it gives you a simple example
Thanks
