Issue with G_user.getClientData

[Sue143]

Hi all,

I am trying to hide/show a variable in the form depending on the current user location.

I am using a client script on load on an order guide.

In the user table the value "country" should refer to the value "DE" (in the table is written in capital letters.

This my code:

function onLoad() {

    var user = g_user.getClientData('country');

    if (user == 'de') {

        g_form.setVisible('need_sim_card', true);

        g_form.setMandatory('need_sim_card', true);

    } else {

        g_form.setVisible('need_sim_card', false);

        g_form.setMandatory('need_sim_card', false);

    }

}

Unfortunately this is not working and I am not sure why. Right now it is always hiding the variable even if the user is indeed from Germany.

Please, help 🙂

unless you set the value in that session variable from server side, you cannot get the value

please check this line

var user = g_user.getClientData('country');
