Author Topic: Alter Advance Filter for Contact Reference Custom Field Dynamically (Read 1234 times)

I am trying to create a set of conditional contact reference fields. I have two organization contact subtypes, lets call them District and Campus. I've also created a relationship type District of/Campus of to be able to relate campuses to districts. Using the advanced filter feature for contact reference fields, I can limit the contacts that are available to be found by the autocomplete widget. So I can limit the District field to District contacts, and the Campus Field to Campus contacts. Thats great.

What would be nice is to be able to alter the advanced filter for the campus field so that when some one selects a District, the Campus choices are limited to those which have a relationship with selected District.

Is there a way to dynamically alter the Advanced Filter for a contact reference field, I assume by some javascript?

Thanks

I would remove the existing autocomplete js call and replace it by a call to the ajax api get, with the right params to filter

That's what I did on the faster autocomplete to remove the default one:
https://github.com/TechToThePeople/eu.tttp.qlookup

(in this case, I created a new api, but in your case using the existing contact.get should work)

Ok, I'm looking through your qlookup extension code, but I'm not quite sure where the existing auotcomplete js call is removed. Do you mean, remove it from a template file, or is this done with php code?

My reach may exceed my grasp, but this would be an elegant solution to the problem. Mind giving me a lil more hand-holding?

Thanks

I changed the id of the field so the default autocomplete (that is binding to this id) wouldn't find it.

Code: [Select]

$content = str_replace ("#sort_name_navigation","#disabled_by_qloockup"
