Conditional Input field in product/options

Hello!

We are selling rods for fishing. I've added the required dropdown option of yes/no for customization (engraved text on the rod) which is required as with "yes" it adds $20. And I've added input field below for the customer input.

The problem is that sometimes customers print something in the input, whether willingly or unwillingly, and it shows up even if they have chosen option "no", it still gets made with engraving. We have lost a lot of money because people typed in something accidentally and received the rod with some characters that they didn't order/ don't make any sense.

I would like to add condition to the first option yes/no, so the input field stays hidden till the customer chooses "yes", to avoid any accidents. Or to clear all the input if the option is 'no'. Or make input field inactive till customer chooses "yes". Or else...

I would appreciate any input on the matter.
Thank you!

Are you sure there isn't a market for rods branded asdfjkl;?

There are plenty of extensions for "dependent options", just search and ye shall find.

Yeah, plenty of cool new brands

Ok, I will search for it. I am curious how to do it in code, I dabble in some front-end stuff, trying to learn back-end.

Thank you!

I know how to do it with HTML and JS, but here I am looking for implementation of this in opencart, which is in PHP.
Thank you for the link, although they talk about dropdowns conditioned one on another, which I understand should be similar, but not quite....

If you require a PHP implementation that would most likely fall more towards a commercial request.

Got it, this forum is for "which extension to use because I dont know how the function called".

Thank you folks for your prompt answers!

You wouldn't want to try this as a first back-end task as it would get pretty complicated.

If you're looking for an extension, read this first: https://www.antropy.co.uk/blog/how-to-f ... xtensions/
