Multiple subdomains - pass selected value?

[sino]

Hi,

 

We'd like to have a drop down menu to show the subdomains available for selection. We add the following code to products.tpl for testing purpose. We found that $product.pid doesn't pass to the URL when we submit the form.

 

<form method="post" action="{$smarty.server.PHP_SELF}?a=add&pid={$product.pid}">
<select name="pid[0]">
{foreach key=num item=product from=$products}
<option value="{$product.pid}"{if $product.pid eq $pid} selected="selected"{/if}>{$product.name}</option>
{/foreach}</select><input type="submit" value="{$LANG.go}" />
</form>

 

The drop down menu shows up correctly. However, URLs show as follows:

 

URL before clicking "go" button, i.e. submit the form

 

../cart.php?gid=2

 

URL after submitting the form

 

../cart.php?a=add&pid=

 

The pid value (selected subdomain) fails to pass to the URL. Please help. Thank you in advance.

 

P.S.: There are already a number of members here expressed the need of multiple subdomains support. For the time being, we wish to test thoroughly if WHMCS suits our needs.

 

Regards,

Sino

Think logically about the code - you're setting the *action* before the user is making a *selection* ...

So no, it's not going to pass the value they pick to the URL

 

You need to add onclick event to the submit to change the &pid=

Hi othellotech,

 

Thank you for your advice. You're right. I've changed the code as follows:

 

<select name="pid[0]">

{foreach key=num item=product from=$products}

<option value="{$product.pid}"{if $product.pid eq $pid} selected="selected"{/if}>{$product.name}</option>

{/foreach}

</select>

<input type="submit" value="{$LANG.ordernowbutton}" onclick="window.location='{$smarty.server.PHP_SELF}?a=add&pid={$product.pid}'" />

 

Now it passes the pid value but only the last one, not the selected one. Still googling the answer. Thank you.

It works now. But the pid value dosen't show up in the URL.

 

<form method="post" action="{$smarty.server.PHP_SELF}?a=add&pid={$pid}&domainoption=subdomain">

<select name="pid">

{foreach key=num item=product from=$products}

<option value="{$product.pid}"{if $product.pid eq $pid} selected="selected"{/if}>{$product.name}</option>

{/foreach}

</select>

<input type="submit" value="{$LANG.ordernowbutton}" />

</form>

I see your in a little pain with that... On the form action you don't put the pid as it is sent from the form itself.
