You could try it old-style. I?ve been using a variation of this ?show/hide? javascript function for years.
Put this function in a *.js file that is being read by your template (Joomla or Fabrik)...
function showfabrik(show_id,hide_id_list){
var hides = hide_id_list.split(",");
for (var i = 0, item; item = hides; i++) {
var varid = document.getElementById('list' + item );
varid.style.display = "none";
}
var show_div = document.getElementById(show_id);
show_div.style.display = "";
}
THAT'S IT.
The 2 parameters passed to the function are "show_id" (the div id of the Fabrik list/form to show) -and- "hide_id_list" (a comma delimited list of the div id?s to hide).
Set up your article so that a content plugin placeholder for each of the Fabrik forms/lists you want to show are enclosed in a div. Assign a unique ID to each div and set the display style to ?none? for all of them. The div containing the Fabrik content you want to show should be passed as the ?show_id? (1st argument) in the javascipt onclick of the URL - and the list/form ids of the others passed as comma delimited list for the 2nd argument to the function (?hide_id_list?).
You can have as many Fabrik content plugin placeholders as you want in the DIVs (probably only limited by memory) ? but you have to pass all the div ids (except the one you want to show) in the ?hide_id_list?.
An example of an article I wrote using this solution is below (better to explain by example)?.
<p>Opening article text blah, blah, blah - Or see lists...</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#" onclick="showfabrik('list3','61,49');">Job Groups</a></li>
<li><a href="#" onclick="showfabrik('list61','3,49');">Your Profile</a></li>
<li><a href="#" onclick="showfabrik('list49','3,61');">Your Surveys</a></li>
</ul>
<div>
<div id="list3" style="display:none;">{fabrik view=list id=3}</div>
<div id="list61" style="display:none;">{fabrik view=form id=61}</div>
<div id="list49" style="display:none;">{fabrik view=list id=49}</div>
</div>
I should explain - you can use lists or forms of course but the javascript relies on the div ids to have names beginning with "list" (even if the Fabrik content plugin will be displaying a form)
I've used variants of this show/hide function often in Joomla articles. The thing to be careful about is when displaying articles in a blog layout or even 2 "lead" articles on a page. If both articles have the same div ids, the javascript will trigger hide/show in both articles.
A good trick to get around that is to use the php microtime function to initialize a variable that will produce a unique id for each div and use that in both the div id and parameter in the onclick call to the function.
