Filter results of selector using select/checkbox?

[Pitbull]

Andrian the same Error: Call to a member function getInputfields() on a non-object (line

63 of C:\wamp\www\real-estate\site\templates\properties-listing.php)

this is my templates structure

First Parent is properties-type-listing.php template 

Second Parent is properties-categorie-listing.php template { template that code is }

Child of properties-categorie-listing.php template is property-detail.php template that the fields i want to search

can you post your working code to try it

Soma yes i have images field in template property-detail.php

[adrian]

Right - I see what you mean now - "the value which is selected". This is why I have this line:

$f->value = '';

This clears the selected values when displaying the filter form. I agree this doesn't seem efficient, but it works and no other way seems to.

 

[Pitbull]

so you think is there anyway to make this search to work

[adrian]

Try editing this line:

$myfields = array('id','title','body');

to include your images field and any others that are not page fields that should be included as filter select options

EDIT: Definitely - I have it working on several sections of a site I am working on

Well this works:

$form = $modules->get("InputfieldForm");
foreach($page->child()->template->fields as $field) {
    $form->append($field->getInputfield($page->child()));
}
echo $form->render();

But would also have to clean values.

[adrian]

That code also works for me without populating existing values ( a good thing), but you'd still need to remove some fields like images etc.

[Pitbull]

Soma you mean to replace all other code from Adrian or to replace some part with this

$form = $modules->get("InputfieldForm");
foreach($page->child()->template->fields as $field) {
    $form->append($field->getInputfield($page->child()));
}
echo $form->render();

[adrian]

Try this complete code. It is actually as I have it working except I removed the text search box in case you don't have a body field, or need that functionality. Of course you'll need to add an echo at the end. I use this as an .inc so it is not in this code block for me.

<?php

$filter_formcode = '';

if($input->post->filter_save) {
    // Search selector builder
    $search_string = '';
    $current_field = '';

    //print_r($input->post);

    foreach($input->post as $field_name => $field_result){

        if (is_array($field_result)){
            foreach($field_result as $f_value){

                if($current_field == $pages->get($f_value)->template){
                    $search_string .= '|' . (int)$f_value;
                }
                else{
                    $search_string .= ',' . $pages->get($f_value)->template . '=' . (int)$f_value;
                }
                $current_field = $pages->get($f_value)->template;

            }
        }
        /*else{ //This is only needed if you want the text search field which is an optional add on below

            if($field_name == 'body' && $field_result != ''){
                $search_string .= $field_name . '%=' . $field_result;
            }
        }*/
    }

    $search_string = trim($search_string,',');
}
else{
    $search_string = '';
}

error_log($search_string);

$message = '';

// Populate with the names of the fields you want to exclude OR include (see instructions below)
// Leave empty to output all the fields
$myfields = array('id','title','body','images');

$form = $modules->get('InputfieldForm');

$fields = $page->child()->getInputfields();

/*

$field = $this->modules->get('InputfieldText');
$field->attr('id', 'Inputfield_body');

$form->append($field);
*/

// If array is not empty use it to filter the fields
if ($myfields){
    foreach($fields as $f){
        // Output all the fields minus the ones listed in the $myfields array
        // Instead, to output only the fields that are in the array, remove the (!) from the condition
        if (!in_array($f->name, $myfields)){
            $f->value = '';
            $form->append($f);
        }

    }
}
else{ // Else, include all the fields
    $form->append($fields);
}

// Add save button
$field = $this->modules->get('InputfieldSubmit');
$field->attr('id+name', 'filter_save');
$field->attr('value', 'Find');
$field->label = "find";
$form->append($field);


// Process the form
if($input->post->filter_save) {
    $form->processInput($input->post);
}

$display = 'block';

if($form->getErrors()) {
    $display = 'block';
}

$filter_formcode .= '

<div id="collapsed_form" style="display:'.$display.'">';

// render out form
$filter_formcode .= $form->render();

$filter_formcode .= '</div>';

$filter_formcode = strip_selected_tags_by_id_or_class('InputfieldPageAdd', $filter_formcode); //Strip out the option to add new item to page field even though it only appears to certain admin users

$filter_formcode .= '<script>
 $(document).ready(function() {
    $(\'select\').css({"max-width":"270px"});
    $(\'li\').removeClass("InputfieldColumnWidth");
    $(\'li\').removeClass("InputfieldColumnWidthFirst");
    $(\'li\').attr("style", "");
 });
</script>'; //set select to max width and remove floating selects so each one on own line

[Soma]

No that was just an alternative way.

Sorry for the confusion. Do what adrian said here, exclude the image and file fieds.

Edit: lol now we have chaos

[Pitbull]

Andrian i paste the code you post but: Error:     Call to undefined function strip_selected_tags_by_id_or_class()

(line 131 of C:\wamp\www\real-estate\site\templates\properties-listing.php)

Sorry for the confusion. Do what adrian said here, exclude the image and file fieds.
 

Soma not wory thank you very much and i am sure all the niewbe to read this will thank you too!!

[adrian]

You can comment out that line if you want, or add this function somewhere:

function strip_selected_tags_by_id_or_class($class, $text)
{
   $regex = '#<(\w+)\s[^>]*(class|id)\s*=\s*[\'"](' . $class .
            ')[\'"][^>]*>.*</\\1>#isU';
   return(preg_replace($regex, '', $text));
}

I added that because my page fields have the ability to add a new item and I didn't want this visible on the front-end, even though it will only be visible to logged in users with rights to add, it is still not appropriate for a front-end filtering form. Chances are it won't be relevant in your situation anyway, so I would just delete the line.

[Pitbull]

Adrian no errors now!!  but i dont see the search form do i need to do something?

[adrian]

Sorry, did you see my note above about needing to echo it out?

I actually have all that code in a filter_form.inc file. Then wherever I want to use it, I just put:

include("./filter_form.inc");

echo $filter_formcode;
 

Does that sort it out ?

[Pitbull]

Adrian thank you so much for all your help!!

what i get now its not what i expect i need to have a search form like in Skyscrapers Site so people can search for properties criteria like ( price - type of property - city - town ) but i get this 

is this what i sould get?

[adrian]

Well no, not really. It looks like you need to add the name of the images field you are using to the $myfields array. You should also add any other fields that are not page fields. The skyscrapers site has a series of dropdowns that are page fields. Is this what you are looking for?

I have attached what I see with my code. To get the search term field you need to uncomment those two sections in my last version above and make sure that you change:

    $field->attr('id', 'Inputfield_body');
    $field->attr('name', 'body');

to match the name of the field you want to search for those keywords. If you don't want the keword search, you can leave as is.

It looks to me like the fields that are showing up in your screenshot are not Page fields.

EDIT: Alternatively if this is all seeming too hard, then you could download the files from the skyscraper example and use that code. The reason I like my option is that it is reusable throughout different sections on a site and on different sites - no need to define the filter search form for each usage scenario.

[Pitbull]

i am sory i wasnt clear, the search terms is not pagefields  is simple fields and is as follows

title

Property_Type

Property_Title

Property_Info

Property_Description

Land_Area

Living_Space

Rooms

Bedrooms

WC_Baths

Price

Images

 

how you believe i should do it?

[adrian]

Well it sounds to me like you probably only want to be able to filter against things like land_area, living_space, number of rooms, number of bedrooms, number of baths, and price. I think you'll have to do something custom for this. I am still not sure if you have seen the search.php file from the skyscrapers demo, so I have attached it.

You should be able to modify that for your needs. In particular, look at the section starting with:

foreach(array('height', 'floors', 'year') as $key) {
 

Hope that gives you a starting point - sorry you went down the road of trying out my code - good for what it does, but won't work out of the box for your case.

search.php

[Pitbull]

Adrian yes this is exactly what i want

filter against things like land_area, living_space, number of rooms, number of bedrooms, number of baths, and price. 

i have seen the search.php, i will try to make this work for me, thank you so much for all your help!! you are amazing!
