Hi There,
Firstly, what a great extension. i have only scratched the surface, but it does look like that i will be able to accomplish all that i need to do with it.
Here's my senario.
I have a form to add details of vehicles, and i want the make and model fields to be dropdowns. i have set them both up on the form and have been able to populate the 'vehicle manufacturer' field with data from a 'vehicle make' table. this table has two columns, id and title.
My problem arises when i try to make the second dropdown populate with the models using the infomation from the first dropdown (vehicle manufacturer)
The Vehicle models are held in a different table with three fields id, makeid (corresponds with the id field in the vehicle manufacturer table) and title.
i just cant seem to get this to populate depending on the choice made in the first dropdown (or populate at all).
I have read through the FAQ and the forum and most of the relevant info is for use with a single table.
Both my dropdowns are set as dynamic enabled. i have added the dynamic dropdown to the onload after the DBMRL that is dealing with the first dropdown.
I have added a new event to deal with the dynamic loader and set all the options, added a new DBMRL to this event to load the data from the Vehicle Models table. though i cant work out what i am doing wrong.
I am very new to all of this joomla stuff and even newer to chronoforms. i have a very basic knowlage of coding, though seem to be picking it up relatively quickly.
Can some one please point me in the right direction.
Kind Regards
Allan
