How Can I Add Specific Text in new_request_page.hbs template based on Ticket Form ID?

Hi Lila Kingsley,

Try the given code on new request page:

<h1 class="ticket_A">
<p>Text A</p>
</h1>
  
<h1 class="ticket_B">
<p>Text B</p>
</h1>
  
<h1 class="ticket_C">
<p>Text C</p>
</h1>
  
<br>
<div class="new-request-form">
{{request_form}}
</div>

 The given code for script file:

  function ticketFormTitle(){
    document.querySelector('.ticket_A').style.display = 'none';
    document.querySelector('.ticket_B').style.display = 'none';
    document.querySelector('.ticket_C').style.display = 'none';
    
    if(window.location.href.indexOf('Form_ID_A') > 0){
       document.querySelector('.ticket_one').style.display = 'block';
    } else  if(window.location.href.indexOf('Form_ID_B') > 0){
      document.querySelector('.ticket_two').style.display = "block";
    }else  if(window.location.href.indexOf('Form_ID_C') > 0){
      document.querySelector('.ticket_three').style.display = "block";
    }
  }




ticketFormTitle();

If any confusion let me know :)

Thanks

Awesome, thanks yet again Ifra!   :)

I am a bit leery of using JavaScript though...a script we had on the new_request_page.hbs template for YEARS recently broke (despite not being changed!!) which caused tickets to not be created :( . 

Do you or anyone know if what I am trying to do is possible with just curlybars?

Hi Ifra,

Thanks again for all your help.  I got the code to work but did get an error at first.  Wanted to share the solution here in case there are other JavaScript newbies like me searching this post in the future.  Also, would love to know if you think there's a better/different solution.

FYI I updated the original JS snippet:  basically I changed the function name and updated it to look for 2 classes/forms (instead of 3)...and added a console.log statement for testing purposes. 

When it initially ran I saw the error Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null at the first document.querySelector  line in the browser inspect console.  Searching online pointed to the code needing to wrapped in a "document ready handler", such as this one I found in stackoverflow.  

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) {
    // Your code to run since DOM is loaded and ready
});

Wrapping the code in that fixed it.  I now see the text I want on each form, and the console.log is logging as I expect.  Here's the code that worked:

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) {

function ticketFormText(){
document.querySelector('.form-a-text').style.display = 'none';
document.querySelector('.form-b-text').style.display = 'none';

if(window.location.href.indexOf('Form_ID_A') > 0){
document.querySelector('.form-a-text').style.display = 'block';
console.log("this is the A form");
} else if(window.location.href.indexOf('Form_ID_B') > 0){
document.querySelector('.form-b-text').style.display = "block";
console.log("this is the B form");
}
}

ticketFormText();

});

Hi Lila Kingsley, I know I'm too late to reply but I tried it with the curlybars but nothing happened throughing error so I used the JavaScript and thanks to share the solution for newbies.

If users are using jQuery so they can do like this:

1). Add the jQuery CDN on document_head.hbs file.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

2). Add the script code at the bottom of your script.js file.

$(document).ready(function(){
  function ticketFormText(){
    $("h1.form-a-text, h1.form-b-text").hide();
   
      if (window.location.href.indexOf("Form_ID_A") > -1){
      $("h1.form-a-text").show();
    }else if (window.location.href.indexOf("Form_ID_B") > -1){
      $("h1.form-b-text").show();
    }
  }
  ticketFormText();
})

3). The title which would be add on new_request_page.hbs

<h1 class="form-a-text">
<p>Text A</p>
</h1>
  
<h1 class="form-b-text">
<p>Text B</p>
</h1>

Thanks

Thanks Ifra! :)

HI,

How to add add text dynamically? 

Hi Swapnail,

You should see this article where I'm adding DC text via JS.

https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/4451902570522-Changing-dynamic-text-elements-in-Gather

If any queries, feel free to ask :)

Thanks

@Swapnali Bhadale, it is possible but How many blocks will you add I mean setting the panel has a limit if you have 6 or, 8 or, 12 you can but if you have a list in every col then you should write code to the hbs file instead of the manifest file.

I can guide you to add settings to the panel but first tell me, how many items are in each column and how many settings exist in your setting panel currently?

Thanks Ifra Saqlain.

:)

Ifra Saqlain - I'm trying to simply add a snippet of text below the title but I only want it on a single form. Any chance you could assist :) ????

Hi Zach, 

1). Add the jQuery CDN on document_head.hbs file.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

2). Add the script code at the bottom of your script.js file.

$(document).ready(function(){
  function ticketFormText(){
    $("h1.form-a-text > span").hide();
   
      if (window.location.href.indexOf("Form_ID_A") > -1){
      $("h1.form-a-text > span").show();
    }
  }
  ticketFormText();
})


NOte: Form_ID_A here is you form ID where you want to show the title

3). The title which would be added on new_request_page.hbs

<h1 class="form-a-text">


 <br>  <span>Text A</span>
</h1>


Note: I added a class-name to <h1> tag and add title in <span> tag.

If any confusion feel free t0 ask :)

Thanks

Sorry, Ifra Saqlain -- I should have been clearer. I'm not looking for this in the Title but as a blurb beneath it. Here's a screenshot:

That code is only for the one web form when you add form-id into the script code.

You can change the structure of HTML like the given below.

script code would be:

$(document).ready(function(){
  function ticketFormText(){
    $("h2.form-a-text").hide();
   
      if (window.location.href.indexOf("00000000000000") > -1){
      $("h2.form-a-text").show();
    }
  }
  ticketFormText();
})

Add a <h2> tag like this:

Thank you so much, Ifra Saqlain.
Would it be possible to do something similar with this new_request_tip_text element?

{{#if settings.show_new_request_tip}}
        <div class="lt-new-request-tip lt-p-4 lt-ps-8 lt-mb-4">
          <i class="fas fa-magic lt-new-request-tip__icon" aria-hidden="true"></i>
          {{settings.new_request_tip_text}}
        </div>
        {{/if}}

This "tip" object was provided in a custom theme. I tried messing around with

$(“.new-request-tip”).text(‘TEST TEST TEST’) 

but this didn't seem to work out well. The text itself never populated and the ticket form title was disappearing for some reason.

Zach,  In this case, you don't need to add JS code, you already have a textbox in your setting panel to edit the text.

Go to your settings panel and find the textbox of New Request Tip Text to edit the text.
