I want to show you a new best practice example: Cascading FormSelect
Sometimes you want, that the choice of the first selectbox adapt the possible options of the second selectbox.
After playing around a little bit I decided to implement
https://github.com/geekonjava/FilterSelectI created a new Formselect class (see
https://github.com/XoopsModules25x/wgsimpleacc/blob/master/class/Form/FormSelectCascading.php )
The call is similar to call of XoopsFormSelect:
// Get Theme Form
xoops_load('XoopsFormLoader');
$form = new XoopsThemeForm('My form for testing cascading select', 'formTest', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'post', true);
$form->setExtra('enctype="multipart/form-data"');
$myExampleTray1 = new XoopsFormElementTray('Example Tray 1');
$mySelect1 = new XoopsModulesWgsimpleaccFormFormSelectCascading('Caption Select 1', 'select1', '2', 15);
$mySelect1->setType(1);
$arrSelect1 = [
['id' => '1', 'text'=>'Sourceelement 1', 'rel'=> '0', 'init'=> '0'],
['id' => '2', 'text'=>'Sourceelement 2', 'rel'=> '0', 'init'=> '0'],
['id' => '3', 'text'=>'Sourceelement 3', 'rel'=> '0', 'init'=> '0'],
];
$mySelect1->setCustomOptions($arrSelect1);
$myExampleTray1->addElement($mySelect1);
$mySelect2 = new XoopsModulesWgsimpleaccFormFormSelectCascading('Caption Select 2', 'select2', '4', 15);
$mySelect2->setType(2);
$arrSelect2 = [
['id' => '1', 'text'=>'Targetelement 1, linked to Sourceelement 1', 'rel'=> '1', 'init'=> '2'],
['id' => '1', 'text'=>'Targetelement 1, linked to Sourceelement 2', 'rel'=> '2', 'init'=> '2'],
['id' => '1', 'text'=>'Targetelement 1, linked to Sourceelement 3', 'rel'=> '3', 'init'=> '2'],
['id' => '2', 'text'=>'Targetelement 2, linked to Sourceelement 1', 'rel'=> '1', 'init'=> '2'],
['id' => '3', 'text'=>'Targetelement 3, linked to Sourceelement 1', 'rel'=> '1', 'init'=> '2'],
['id' => '3', 'text'=>'Targetelement 3, linked to Sourceelement 3', 'rel'=> '3', 'init'=> '2'],
['id' => '4', 'text'=>'Targetelement 4, linked to Sourceelement 2', 'rel'=> '2', 'init'=> '2'],
['id' => '5', 'text'=>'Targetelement 5, linked to Sourceelement 2', 'rel'=> '2', 'init'=> '2'],
];
$mySelect2->setCustomOptions($arrSelect2);
$myExampleTray1->addElement($mySelect2);
$form->addElement($myExampleTray1);
$form->addElement(new XoopsFormHidden('op', 'save'));
$form->addElement(new XoopsFormButtonTray('', _SUBMIT, 'submit', '', false));
$GLOBALS['xoopsTpl']->assign('form', $form->render());
if you now click on 'Sourceelement 1' in first select then you see only
- 'Targetelement 1, linked to Sourceelement 1'
- 'Targetelement 2, linked to Sourceelement 1'
- 'Targetelement 3, linked to Sourceelement 1'
in second select
have fun
