I am using Joomla 1.5
I want to create a search button on my form.
I want to use a drop down box that reflects one field from the database (lastname).
The table name is jos_Teacher_Registration.
When a name is chosen I want all the fields on the form to appear.
I only have the very basic html to put in the form code.
Can anyone help me with what is needed?
This is all I have so far. Just the shell really.

I found some php code that I think will work.
It connects to the database, but there is a syntax error that I can not find.
Any ideas?
(I took out my dbname, username and password to post it here).

Okay. I'm forgetting about the drop down.
Let's try just a plain search button. With the following code I get the search box, but when I enter into it, I get the message:
You are not allowed to access this URL
Does anyone know what causes this probelm?
Where can I change things to make this work properly?
Thanks.
Feels like I'm talking to myself, but I figured others can use this information too.

Hi Diana,
in the form HTML box, add the input box HTML code, in the form onSubmit box, add this
now you can loop through results with foreach like:

After I enter a search keyword, I still get the message:

I'm also not sure I understand what you told me to do.

I found that my mistake was having the <form> tag in my html code.
When I took that out I no longer got the error "You are not allowed to access this URL"
Because I am not too experienced with php code. I am having a hard time getting the fields found in the database to display on my form. I can enter into the search box and it returns my page, but he page is blank. Can you tell me how to write the code to display what the search criteria finds. I suppose I'll need a message that lets them know if it doesn't find anything also.
Here is what I have right now:

Hi dianaj59,
Just to be clear - you are asking about ChronoForms? (this is the ChronoComments forum).
You also have some odd things in your code. The <method> tag doesn't exist in HTM as far as I know, and the <address> has only a specialised used - I think you mean <label> here. The <head> tag is good but should never appear in the form html.
The OnSubmit code woudl be better written using Joomla code

Sorry, yes, this should be under ChronoForms.
Two more questions.
1. On Submit, I want the page to reload displaying the end result of lastname. This is not happening. Do I need something more in the html code to display what the Joomla code has queried and found?
2. Can you guide me to a tutorial to learn "joomla code"?
Thanks for your help on this.

Hi Diana,
I think that I answered a post yesterday for you with some code, I asked you to remove 2 or 3 lines!!! we need to work in one topic only please!
Whats the problem with Bob's code above ? I see it should work fine!
you don't need Connectivity to accomplish this! Chronoforms is fine!
I suggest you get a book about J1.5 code development first!
Regards,
Max

You did give me code yesterday.
I had code that I showed.
I am now using the code given here.
I've closed the other threads, i think.
I think I must not be communicating well enough, but I'll try again.
I have a form that has a search input box on it.
The user is to enter a last name into the search input box.
Here is the code for the search box entered into the HTML FORM:
Here is the php code to query the database and compare the keyword with the search box word.
This is entered in the ONSUBMIT:
My Problem is that after the last name is entered into the search input box, I want the information found in the database to be displayed on the page. What happens now is that the page reloads (redirect url default) as a blank page.
I don't know how to make this work.
Thanks.

Hi dianaj59,
First off - please only post your questions once, it;s very confusing to find three threads in different forums with the same question. And its a waste of your time and ours when you get several answers in different places.
I'm not sure what you mean by (redirect url default)? If you have anything in the ReDirect URL please remove it. The code I posted *should* show you the results after the form is submitted.
If you want to show the results and re-show the form that can be done but let's get some results showing first.
Bob

I am sorry about posting my question with multiple threads. It won't happen again.
What I mean by "default redirect url" is in the Form URLs tab, there are two options; "Redirect URL" and "Submit URL". I have absolutely nothing in either one. Once a search criteria was entered into the search box and enter is hit, I wanted it to reload the page WITH the lastname field from the database appearing. As it is right now using your code, (I copied and pasted it), I get a blank page.
I will appreciate any help.
If it works for you, then I must have something wrong somewhere, but I can not see it.

Hi dianaj59,
OK that's fine.
Zeroth check: if you are using the OnSubmit Before box make sure that Emails are enabled in the General tab or the code will not run.
There's probably a typo in my code somewhere, or the database query isn't returning any results.
First test: add an output line near the beginning:
Second test: turn on Debug in your site Global Configuration (NB Do not do this on live sites at busy times), then submit the form. Look through the Debug output at the foot of the page for the $sql query; copy and paste the query and any related error messages into notepad or some other editor. Turn Site Debug off again.
Check the error messages and sql. I usually paste the sql into PHPMyAdmin or EasySQL and tweak it to remove any errors and get the result I want - then transpose the fixes back into the OnSubmit code.
Bob
PS The best source for Joomla Code is the Joomla dev wiki you can access through joomla.org. Not perfect or complete but increasingly full of useful stuff.

I am using the OnSubmit Before box.
My email was NOT enabled.
I enabled this and after I enter my search box criteria I got an error message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/global22/public_html/components/com_chronocontact/chronocontact.php(371) : eval()'d code on line 3
I added the line of code as you suggested...
I got the above error again only referencing line 4 instead of 3. Makes sense since I added that line.
I turned the debugger on.
I'll paste in here the first four items it brings back.
The Complete name of my table is jos_chronoforms_teacher_registration
I changed that small part of your SELECT statement, but it made NO difference.
I'm not sure what else to try, but I'll keep looking at it.

Hi dianaj59,
There's certainly a missing $ - apologies for that.
Also change the $results line to
Otherwise it looks OK - but will not output anything much if $result is empty.
Bob
PS Joomla will replace #__ with jos_ if that's the correct prefix for your site.

I made the changes you suggested.
I looked in the table to verify there is a last name to match the criteria I am entering into the search box.
Something still seems to be troubling to the system at the end of this code.
The error message is:
line 16 is the very last line of code
Looking to the future.
If or when we get this problem figured out, I'm going to need to add in a IF statement that gives a message to the user if the keyword is not found in the table; likewise if there are more than one match it will need to give the user the option to choose which one. BUT, that is getting ahead of myself. The issue at hand must be resolved first.

Here is the code as I have it now:
I found another strange occurrence. Each time I enter a name and search for it a blank record is entered into the database. This is not good.
Here is some of what I have set in the general tab:
Email Results - yes
Form tag attachments - enctype='multipart/form-data' (not sure where this came from)
Form method - post
Mysql statment - Engine

echo '<div>XXX</div>';

GREAT!
This code works now.
However, it does not bring back the information from the database.
the sql statement says "SELECT * FROM...."
I want to see this information on the page.
I think we need to add a line of code to see it.
I've tried:
But that is not right. That brings back a result of:
The last name is Array
How should this be done?
Thanks.

Hi dianaj59,
That's what this line does:
Bob
That's what this line does:
echo $result ['lastname']."<br />".$result ['id']." ".$result ['lastname'];Bob
I went back to look at the table and yes, the actual field name for the unique identifier is uid, not id.
I changed the code as follows:
I still did not get the desired printout.
I am seeing the XXX, though, so I turned on the debugger.
The following is what I see, beginning with the XXX.
Does this help you understand what might be wrong, because I'm having a hard time seeing what the problem is. My form id is 3, so that looks right. There is a record with the lastname of "Walters", so that should work.
I changed the code as follows:
<?php
echo '<div>XXX</div>';
$db =& JFactory::getDBO();
$keyword = JRequest::getString('keyword', '', 'post');
if ( $keyword ) {
$sql="
SELECT *
FROM `#__chronoforms_teacher_registration`
WHERE `lastname` LIKE '%$keyword%'
ORDER BY `uid` DESC";
$db->setQuery($sql);
$results = $db->loadRowList();
foreach ($results as $result ); {
echo $result ['lastname']."<br />".$result ['uid']." ".$result ['lastname'];
}
}

Hi dianaj59,
It's going to be something silly in the end.
Two things to try, one is to paste the SQL into PHPMyAdmin (or the EasySQL extension) and see what results show up
Second, add a debug line or two into the code

I did the sql query in phpMyAdmin. I got the desired result.
I added your two lines of debug code and got this:
Looks to me like we need to refer to an array number like [7] instead of [lastname], so I tried this change in the code:
That was it! I see the lastname now.
So, now I will work with this information to get all the fields to display, using [number], rather than ['name'].
I know I will have more questions, such as what if there are more than one record with the same lastname, etc. Should I continue with this thread or start a new one for future questions? I think this one is getting quite lengthy.
Thank you so much for your patience through this.

One more request:
Can you give me an example using this code....
...that shows how to put it into a table format?
This is not correct, but something like:
Does that make sense?
Thx.

Hi dianaj59,
You need to echo or print the html parts (or put them outside the <?php tags)

Hi,
really interesting this post
dianaj59 could you publish the last version of your code maybe explaining the all procedure?
It would be very nice
Thanks
Daniela

Hi Daniela,
Diana has posted a series of topics here recently about the search feature and I think there was a solution with all code in 2 topics of them so you can find it easily if you searched for her posts or clicked her name and choose to view her posts to see her last few topics!🙂

Hi, I do have the same problem also and I can't find any answers here in the forum. I am using Chronoforms and I created a search button to search for any keyword in my table. I wanted to show the result of the search on the same page after the user click the submit button but it doesn't show anything.
My HTML code:
{result should be line up on the same page after the button is click}
but it doesn't show anything although it sends me an email about the search.
Here is my query:
Please help. Thanks.
My HTML code:
<table border="0" width="100%" id="table1">
<tr>
<td align="center"> </td>
<td width="119" align="center">

<input type=submit value="Search" style="color: #6A0204; font-family: verdana; font-weight: normal; font-size:10px; background-color: #FFFFFF; float:center;" name="searchbutton">
</td>
<td width="30"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
{result should be line up on the same page after the button is click}
but it doesn't show anything although it sends me an email about the search.
Here is my query:
<?php
$search_array = array('agencyname');
$where = array();
foreach ( $search_array as $search ) {
$value = JRequest::getVar($search, '' , 'post');
if ( $value ) {
$where[] = " $search LIKE '$value%' ";
}
}
if ( !empty($where) ) {
echo " WHERE ".implode(' AND ', $where);
}?>
Please help. Thanks.
Hi jmarian1,
I'm really not sure what this code is doing. Where do you have the 'query' bit? Are you actually using ChronoConnectivity (where this code might work). If you are using it in ChronoForms then you need the rest of the MySQL query and some code to display ther results.
Bob

Hi Bob, sorry about that. I wanted to use Chronoconnectivity but I don't know how to show it on the frontend. Is there a tutorial how to do it like the Chronoform that can pull from the article using {chronoform}{/chronoform}? I just wanted to know how can I show it on the frontend or should I post this question on the ChronoConnectivity then I should be fine. Thanks.
Sorry for the confusion. I figure out how to view it in the frontend and I post a new topic in ChronoConnectivity because I have some issue. Thanks.
Thanks in advance for any response.
I know this is an old subject. I am totally new at this. I am on the last part of my project.
Goal:
I created a database with patient information. I need the patients to be able to retrieve the information by search using first name, last name and date of birth. I want to display the results on a web page in my browser for confirmation. The confirmed data needs to be submitted back to me so I know the data collected was correct.
Any assistance would be appreciated. I have tried the various tutorials and searching. This post is the closest I have seen to what I actually need.
Again thanks for any help.

Hi mdsmif,
It looks as though you may have spaces in some of your input names. These will casue this error. Please replace any spaced with underscores (or join the words up) - first_name or firstname.
You'll need to rename the database table columns to match then refresh the DB Connection (see below).
Bob
Note: You need to refresh the DB Connection after any changes to database column names. In the Form Editor click the DB Connection tab and set the Connection to 'No'. Click the 'Apply icon in the toolbar to save the form, open the DB Connection tab, set the Connection back to 'Yes' and re-save the form. This will refresh the copy of the table information that ChronoForms uses.
