Because DaDaBik is a general form configurator, this will be difficult to achieve without some good code modification.
However, if you use DaDaBik as a backend for something else, as I do (see http://stanxterm.aecom.yu.edu/secondary/ordering/index.php), this is easy to do.
If I were to modify DaDaBik (3.2) for this, I would probably approach it this way:
0. A new field for the form configurator (pattern_replace) will be created. If this field is filled with some text containing say an asterisk *, then then the field value will replace * in the pattern_replace value.
E.g., say your actual form field value is 'home' and in the configurator, you have put, for pattern_replace, '
*,' then you will end up with '
home'
1. If you already have DaDaBik installed - meaning DaDaBik has been run once atleast, as a result of which all the dadabik_ tables have been generated in the database:
Using something like phpmyadmin or Navicat, create a new field in all of the dadabik_ tables with these parameters -
pattern_replace
varchar(255)
not null
utf-8_general_ci
This is not needed if you have not run DaDaBik yet.
2. Edit include/internal_table.php
Add at end:
$int_fields_ar[25][0] = "Pattern replacement:";
$int_fields_ar[25][1] = "pattern_replace";
$int_fields_ar[25][2] = "text";
$int_fields_ar[25][3] = "25";
3. Edit admin.php
Look for series of itenms like:
$linked_fields_order_type_field_temp = addslashes($fields_labels_ar[$j]["linked_fields_order_type_field"]);
At end, add:
$pattern_replace_temp = addslashes($fields_labels_ar[$j]["pattern_replace"]);
Look for series of items like:
".$quote."linked_fields_order_type_field".$quote."
Make the end like so by adding:
,".$quote."pattern_replace".$quote;
Look for series of items like:
'$linked_fields_order_type_field_temp'
Make the end like so by adding:
,'$pattern_replace_temp';
[take care of the semi-colns at end - all PHP code lines end with a semi-colon]
4. Edit include/business_logic.php: Go to function create_internal_table($table_internal_name). Towards the end, after:
separator_field varchar(2) NOT NULL default '~',
add:
pattern_replace VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL default '',
Then, go to function_results_table and look for:
$field_separator = $fields_labels_ar[$i]["separator_field"];
After that, add:
$field_pattern = $fields_labels_ar[$i]["pattern_replace"];
Towards the end of this function, look for line beginning '$field_to_display = get_field_correct_displaying...' and change it to:
$field_to_display = get_field_correct_displaying($field_values_ar[$j], $field_type, $field_content, $field_separator, $field_pattern, "results_table"); // get the correct display mode for the field
Then, go to function get_field_correct_displaying. Change the first line to be so:
function get_field_correct_displaying($field_value, $field_type, $field_content, $field_separator, $field_pattern, $display_mode)
Then, replace the part between 'default:' and 'if ($field_content == "email")' (towads the end) with:
if ($field_content !== 'html' and !($field_pattern != '')) {
$field_value = htmlspecialchars($field_value);
if ( $display_mode == "results_table") {
$displayed_part = wordwrap($field_value, $word_wrap_col, "\n", $enable_word_wrap_cut);
} // end if
else {
$displayed_part = $field_value;
} // end else
} // end if
elseif ($field_content !== 'html' and $field_pattern != '') {
$field_value = str_replace('*', $field_value, $field_pattern);
$field_value = htmlspecialchars($field_value);
if ( $display_mode == "results_table") {
$displayed_part = wordwrap($field_value, $word_wrap_col, "\n", $enable_word_wrap_cut);
} // end if
else {
$displayed_part = $field_value;
} // end else
} // end elseif
else {
$displayed_part = $field_value;
} // end else
**************
Above is just a guideline; you may want to do more modifications. E.g., with above, such replacements will not work for exported CSV files. For that, you willl have to modify the function get_field_correct_csv_displaying.
