Hi dear friends,
as always I want to thank you for your great job and support!
My question is where can I find documentation about dropdown filters in choronoconnectivity? I just want a very simple dropdown box near my search box that filter the field "input_tratta" in my showed results.
Searching with google I found that this is very difficult especially cause I'm note so good with code.
this is my little project http://risingsys.com/disponibilita/

Hi,

You need to do 3 things:

#1- decide which field in your table will be used for filtering, lets say "myfield"

#2- add a new filter field "input" to your connection's header, you need the code for the input or you may use the "Admin/front editing", the input name should be: "filter_myfield"

#3- write the field name under the "Search settings" tab, use the field name "myfield"

#2- add a new filter field "input" to your connection's header, you need the code for the input or you may use the "Admin/front editing", the input name should be: "filter_myfield"

Thank you admin for your reply,
but as I said before I'm not so good with code, so I searched in the front editing tab and I didn't found any filter field to fill, the only place is in search tab "filters fields names" but this is not working for me.. can you please exactly tell me where is the field you are talking about or the code to past in my header?
thank you!

Hi,

Yes, this is where you are going to enter the "myfield" name as in step#3 above, did you do both #1 and #2 ?

please max I cannot figure out from this.. as you can see in the image attached I placed in search settings the field "input_tratta" and under the filters fields names tab "filter_input_tratta" but no dropdown filter is showed in my chronoconnectivity frontend. how can I solve this.. I just want a simple dropdown filter for the field input_tratta like the one is showed in my chronoform article.
please help me to close this project 😟

Hi,

#1- Please change the field name in "Filters fields names" to "input_terrata".

#2- the dropdown is not added automatically, you must add it, use your own dropdown HTML code, and set the field name as "filter_input_terrata"

Hi max you think that future releases of chronoconnectivity will add the possibility of dropdown filters without insert manualy code? problem is that I'm not so good with code and if I put code in the header for the dropdown then I will have to manualy add code also for all the header,body and footer and I'm not so good.. I hope for future releases.
Thank you

Hi silvered.dragon,

You can add the dropdown code easily with auto list in V4 by using the "Task editing" area, there is a tutorial on that on the FAQs page, it explains how to add a title to the list but you can use teh same technique.

In V5 (beta) you should also add your own field, but its easier to do there, however, I can try to make the filter fields auto generated, but in this case they will be complicated to configure, because assume that you want to filter using a dropdown, how can we find the dropdown values ?

You may contact me through the contact us page to get the V5 installer if you want to try it!

Thank you for explaining how to make a custom search field.
I added my own input field with submit button to the Header tab. But when I press the submit button, nothing is happens. Do I need to add some extra code to make the submit button work?
