Dynamic combo box

New Member Joined: Oct 21, 2009 Posts: 9

Hi.
I was thinking how to create a dynamic combo to use in raven nuke modules, like Your_Account, when people register to the site.
Example:
User select his state, than in the next field, he selects the city filtered by the state he has just selected.
Any idea? Is there any module with similar function?
Thanks

Not sure what you need it to do, but you might try the Member Map module

Sorry. What I sugest is to use in Raven Nuke a Dynamic Combobox which populate using php scripting from db and onselection change values of another dynamic Combobox. Initially 2nd combobox should be invisible and on selection of 1st combobox make 2nd combobox visible related with similar data.

This is possible with every php script and db-connect and loaded jquery source. You must load the data with php from the database in a while loop and with jquery you can build your dropdown.

I know Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! had a similar functionality, but sounds like alot of work as you would have to cover every country, state, and city in the world.

There are emerging browser technologies that allow you to request the location of the browser, which I would be more inclined to use, as opposed to a massive db of every country, state, and city in the world. http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=142065

That being said I don't have time to look into either approach for the near future. I'm not sure the functionality is valuable enough for the work involved, but unsure what you plan on using this for??

Look at the admin function in nukeFEED. Once you select the Content type for the feed, the Order and Level drop downs are populated accordingly.

Also, the number of items in the feed can be typed or selected (i.e. a combo box).

There are a number of other jQuery scripts that provide linked select boxes. Also, check out Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! to see some other cool stuff you can do with select input...
