Usage of HTTP Request

Hello,

I'm kind of green when it comes to AJAX, cURL and the likes. I was advised that the HTML request action in chronoforms would be perfect for querying forms.

I did look at jQuery AJAX API and querying PHP files is straight forward but I can't access chronoforms PHP in the same way. I also don't know how a response would be obtained within one form to another.

Please enlighten me on the workings of HTTP Request action

Thanks.

Hi lesanjo,

What exactly do you need to do? I don't know what 'querying forms' means here :-(

MooTools has an Ajax API that works well with ChronoForms, there are many examples here in the Forums and in the FAQs

I meant adding the HTTP Request action in a form and having it get manipulated values from another chronform without hardcoding the Ajax calls manually.

Hi Lesanjo,

I'm still not clear exactly what you need to do :-(

ChronoForms has an HTTP Request action that you can use to access a form event. Does that do what you need?

Suppose form 'A' is a search form for names and form 'B' searches for articles associated with an individual.

I need to add article information specific to one user (form b) to search results of the individual users (form A).

Simply put, I need to know how to populate the action's fields and how to get results using the action. would you happen to have working example?

Hi Lesanjo,

That helps a little. Are these real forms? Are they on your own site? Could you get the results you need form a DB query?

There's an Ajax enabled drop-down action here that sound as though it might help, but I'm far from certain.
