Hy there,
I have a special question.
I am aware of how to use the Search Query Field (buyed) and it works.
Also i am aware how to set up a dynamic dropdown from a table.
My Question is, how can i combine this ?
I want a list of Countries of a specific Table in my Database (jos_countries) as a dropdown. After this a "Show Adress" Button to confirm
As soon i choosed my country the SEARCH QUERY field should search for the infos that are in the same record like the countrie choosed by the dynamic field.
I tried it with loading the cck->getValue('dynamic_dropdown_list') or with conditional states. But to be hones i have acutally no clue how i can do this.
Did somebody doing something like this ? Thanks in Advance
Update, found the solution by trying a few days, hope this is correct and not a poor construction solution, any other inputs are appreciated
In the "Search Query" Field the WHERE Varaible directly read out the value of my "Dynamic Select" Field like this example:
SELECT country FROM Tablename WHERE country=('$uri->getValue('dynamic select fieldname')')
After this put a "Submit Button" to trigger the dynamic field and under "conditional state" set the "Search Query" Field to hidden until the "Submit Button" is pressed.
Et Voila
