[Half-Solved] "chosen" Functionality of select-lists in filter also?

[mudshark79]

Hello!

I'm curious if there are plans to implement the Chosen-Functionality of Select-List Element such as DB-Join Dropdowns or CCDs in the List-Filter area also?

Am I missing something?

Thanks and Regards,

Matthias

Aside from the fact I'm still interested and maybe missed something - I found another way to solve my specific problem that I Wanted to share:

I have a DB-Join "my_element_id" which is setup as the Watch-Element for two other DB-Joins. This works great and one also has the CDD-functionality in the list filters.

The CDD-Functionality breaks, if I change the List-Filter to Autocomplete . Setup as a dropdown the filter Is way too unhandy.

Solution: I created a second DB-Join "my_element_id_autocomplete" which holds a copy of the Value (copied via form-plugin or whatever). It's hidden in the form but the list Filter is Setup to Autocomplete.

now add list.js:
(Please remove comments):

//This is the ID of the select in the Filter-Box:
var my_element_id_dropdown = jQuery( '#mylist___my_element_idvalue' );


requirejs(['fab/fabrik'], function () {
    /* Yes, someone knew i would once look for it in */    
/* media/com_fabrik/js/autocomplete-bootstrap.js on line 227: */
    Fabrik.addEvent('fabrik.autocomplete.selected', function(autocomplete_element, autocomplete_value){
    var new_selection = '<option value="'+ autocomplete_value + '" selected="selected">Temporary</option>';
    klienten_id_dropdown.append( new_selection );
    klienten_id_dropdown.val(autocomplete_value);
   /*heads up, this is not jQuery but 'pure' JS because the Event also was Setup as so in */
/*plugins/fabrik_element/cascadingdropdown/filter.js */
   document.querySelector("#mylist___my_element_idvalue").fireEvent("change");

  });

});

Hope someone may can use this - surpised how few lines make this possible.

Regards,

Matthias

To answer your question, yes, we intend to gradually implement 'chosen' features for everything. It's just one of those work in progress things, which I'll work on as I get time.

One of the main issues I need to work on atm is propagating the jQuery events that chosen triggers through to our Moo events. At the moment, having the observed element of a CDD be a chosen dropdown doesn't work, because the CDD hangs a Moo event listener for the 'change' event on the watched dropdown ... which never gets fired if that dropdown has been chosen-ified. Solvable, I just haven't had time to look at it.

Just FYI I think I've resolved the issue with CDD's observing 'chozen' selects.

Thanks for the Update. Is it already in github? I made a quick test and can't confirm. Chozen-Select doesn't play nice with a CDD in the form and no Chozen in the list filter's view

And risking being a pain : I was not not talking about Dropdowns and CDDs in Forms (there I'm quite happy with what I got), I was mainly talking about the filters view.

So wishlist would be:
- bring chozen to filter-views
- make CDDs work in filter's view with chozen or autofill as a watched object...

Take your time, won't start a next project soon, anyway .

Regards and Thanks,

Matthias

Yes, I know you were talking about filters. I wasn't. It was just an FYI.
