How to create a dependants search

February 05, 2019, 09:23:21 AM

I was wondering how you go about creating a dependants search. The kind that only lists related items. Eg if a car make was a ford then only ford related cars would be displayed. Thanks for any pointers.

Hello!!

I am not sure what is your exact requirement, but here are couple of things i do to link the data

1. Create Master detail blocks
2. In add page , select the particular item and build a list with Dynamic Select Lookup
3. In the List page property, use the where clause

I hope these points are helpful,

Cheers

I think thats what it is. I saw somewhere, think it was phprunner that if you had a list of different cars say Ford. If you had dropdown menu and selected ford the next dropdown would only show you ford makes. Hope this is explained better. I thought it was linked or dependants or something. Will look into your points. Thanks.

Ok, then please look at In add page , select the particular item and build a list with Dynamic Select Lookup.. it filters based on another filter.

There isnt a lot of information on PHPrad even a user manual or something would be handy to explain the colum and tabs etc etc.
Will keep you informed.
