Field value replacements in prefix/suffix do not support multi-value replacements was created by MikeM

I create a selectmultiple field with values

Code:

pc::PC%% 
xbox::XBOX%% 
ps::PS%%

Then i create a prefix for this field:

Code:

<a href="/news/{{news##0##_value_}}">

When i choose 1 options for article - it work ok and look like:

Code:

<span class="flexi value field_news ">
    <a href="/news/pc"> PC </a>
</span>

But when i choose more than 1 options, link are broken, and it loos like:

Code:

<span class="flexi value field_news ">
	<a href="/news/pc"> PC </a>
        <a href="/news/pc"> XBOX </a>
        <a href="/news/pc"> PS </a>
</span>

What i do wrong?

Hello

yes it is good for only 1 value,

Instead of this

Code:

<a href="/news/{{news##0##_value_}}">

it would be nice to support something like this:

Code:

<a href="/news/{{news##AUTO_INCREMENT##_value_}}">

- unfortunately this involves updating the code of ALL fields
Add this and it may be done in the future

- An alternative is to use a field group field
which is good for item form
and you can use its custom templating parameter to achieve what you need

Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Hello

I changed your title "Problem in selectmultiple"

as it is really not appropriate, it gives very little information about your thread
and the discussed topic involves all fields and not selectmultiple specifically

Thank you for answer.

I dont know how usefield group field in my project :unsure:

I do it with JS:

Code:

$('.field_news').find('a').removeAttr("href");
$('.field_news').find('a').each(function(){
    var link = '';
    var newscat = $(this).html();
    switch (newscat ) {
    case 'PC':
    link = 'pc';
    break;
    case 'XBOX':
    link = 'xbox';
    break;
    case 'PS':
    link = 'ps';
    break;
    }
$(this).attr("href",'/news/'+link);
});

But this is not good for search engines.
How i can constuct this JS script with PHP in item.php template?
