Using dropbox (select) in CC direct list editing

Hello,

i followed http://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/72-ccv5/5213-direct-list-editing.html to make my table field editable in the list view.

Now i would like to use a dropdown to use predefined values to choose from.

Can someone help?

Thanks & kindest regards,
AK

Hi ArnKor,

As far as I can see you would use the same format as in the FAQ but in the Fields box add the HTML for the drop-down select element in place of the <input /> tag there.

Hello Bob,

thanks for replying. I tried the following which renders a box but it is empty and i cannot click the arrows to open the list.

article_model.project_status:<select name="article_model[{cf_id}][project_status]">
<option value="1">one</OPTION>
<option selected value="2">{article_model.project_status}</OPTION>
<option value="3">three</OPTION>
<option value="4">four</OPTION>
</select>

Where am i wrong here?

Thanks & kindest regards,
AK

Hi AK,

I'm no expert in CC but I think that it all has to be on one line

article_model.project_status:<select name="article_model[{cf_id}][project_status]"><option value="1">one</option><option selected value="2">article_model.project_status}</option><option value="3">three</option><option value="4">four</option></select>

Hello Bob,

thank you for your support! It works! Just one thing:
Pressing "Update list" ends with an pop up without text. Debug is not showing anything and the new value does not get saved.

Where do i put the ID (article_model-cf_id) to save?

Thank you & kindest regards,
AK

Hi Bob,

i forgot to enable the check box! Now the save button ends with an success message but the value did not get saved.

What am i doing wrong?

Thank you & kindest regards,
AK

article_model.project_status:<select name="article_model[{cf_id}][project_status]"><option selected value="{article_model.project_status}">{article_model.project_status}</option><option value="novo">novo</option><option value="analise">analise</option><option value="esperando pagamento">esperando pagamento</option><option value="executando">executando</option></select>

Hi AK,

The first thing to try is clicking the Delete Cache icon in the CC toolbar, that should refresh CC's table info.

Hi Bob,

i do this every time i change my forms. But this did not help.

My thought is that there is something wrong with fields code above because using a text input worked fine ...

Here some info about my columns list:

_SELECTOR_
article_model.project_status:Status
article_model.titulo:Titulo
article_model.user_name:Nome
 

Any other ideas?

Hi AK,

I tried your way and the dropdown looks great!

swapOffers.offer_status_text:<select name="swapOffers[{swapOffers.id}][offer_status_text]"><option selected value="{swapOffers.offer_status_text}">{swapOffers.offer_status_text}</option><option value="Open">Open</option><option value="Declined">Declined</option><option value="Offeree Re-open">Offer Receiver Re-Open</option></select>

I followed the Direct Listing Editing guide to add the following on Header code:
_TOOLBAR_SAVELIST_
_PAGINATOR_NAV_

and _SELECTOR_ on the column list.

However, the update never happens after clicking the save_list button and there is no alert message when seeing front view through the Connections Manager.

Here is part of the form:
<form action="/index.php?option=com_chronoconnectivity5&cont=lists&ccname=swapOfferReceiverEdit" method="post" name="admin_form" id="admin_form">
<input type="button" value="Update List" id="toolbar-button-save_list" data-url="/index.php?option=com_chronoconnectivity5&cont=lists&act=save_list&ccname=swapOfferReceiverEdit" class="toolbar-button" />

I hope you or Bob or Max can show me how to make it work.

Thanks,

In the dropdown construction,

swapOffers.offer_status_text:<select name="swapOffers[{swapOffers.id}][offer_status_text]"><option selected value="{swapOffers.offer_status_text}">{swapOffers.offer_status_text}</option><option value="Open">Open</option><option value="Declined">Declined</option><option value="Offeree Re-open">Offer Receiver Re-Open</option></select>

Is there a way to make the available options to be conditional to the original offer_status_text?

For instance, if {swapOffers.offer_status_text} = "Declined", the available options will be Offeree Re-open and Accepted. But, if {swapOffers.offer_status_text} = "Accepted", the only option is "Declined".

Thanks,
kwok
