v 4.0 / 1.7 Is there a way to implement AJAX live results?

I would just die if I could figure out how to make CF spit out live results to narrow down an item. Like on http://jecoplastics.com/search/plastic-pallets

If anyone has done that, please share. Otherwise, I'm assuming this is a custom deal. THx

Hi hdwebpros,

You can use AJAX with ChronoForms OK. Where are you stuck?

I'm probably over my head. I am trying to create a 'product selector' form, one that shows results after you type in an attribute on a product via AJAX (non-page load). So, the more you narrow it down, the more you get the product selected.

In principle I bet I could get it to work in CF, but I don't even know where I would find the code to implement such a feature. I've been looking. Wish me luck, thanks for responding.

Hi hdwebpros,

I have a tutorial on using Ajax in ChronoForms v4 that you can buy here. It has the basic Ajax code that you need but will need extending quite a lot to build your filtered page.

Bob

I will gladly buy that and pay for any help I can get for extending. I just don't know where to pull all of the products from. Would an XML file be easiest? Inline variables? Or create a DB table with them?

I am good with 90% of Joomla, but in cases like this, need some guidance. I'd love to use CF to do it. Could I get some guidance with extending? I don't mind paying for it.

Hi hdwebpros,

I'd put the products in a database table (or tables). Joomla! and ChronoForms handle table data fairly easily and well and you can easily add extra forms to manage the data if needed.

Happy to help if I can. I'll PM you.
