How to Insert Variable as footer in Laserfiche Forms

asked on March 31, 2021 • Show version history

Dear All

We are having Laserfiche forms professional 10.4 we are developing new forms , and We would like to use the footer when save to repository the footer has to be variable , which is in the form , I am very new java script and with the help of laserfiche answers I found the solution as to use the java script as

$(document).ready( function ()  {
     $('<footer style="position: fixed; bottom: 0"><p>ENTER YOUR TEXT</p></footer>').insertAfter($('.cf-formwrap'));
});

But in here i need to put variable value , I created custom html , i put the variable in custom html and given the class as test and use the code

$(document).ready( function ()  {
     $('<footer style="position: fixed; bottom: 0"><p>($('.test').text());</p></footer>').insertAfter($('.cf-formwrap'));
});

but unfortunately the values are not showing, in the custom html the values are showing but not in footer ,am I missing something or am I totally wrong . or I can bring the variable using ($('.#q123').val()); but that also not working

Thanks in advance

Your line 2 has some syntax errors.

First, we want the item with the cf-field class from within the item with the test class.

On a live form you would refererence the input/select/textarea element and it's value, like this:
- $('.test input').val()
But on the archive/read-only form you would instead reference the cf-field class and it's text, like this:
- $('.test .cf-field').text()

Second, you are trying to concatenate 3 strings without the proper closure of quotes and the concatenate function (Javascript uses the + character for concatenate). Here's the 3 strings we need:

'<footer style="position: fixed; bottom: 0"><p>'
$('.test .cf-field').text()
'</p></footer>'

Put it all together and it looks like this:

$('<footer style="position: fixed; bottom: 0"><p>' + $('.test .cf-field').text() + '</p></footer>').insertAfter('.cf-formwrap');

Of course, you may want to play around with the appearance a little bit, because it comes out like this for me:
