Nested multisearch

  • Im using the Multisearch plug in for the participant database and Id like to have the multi search nested. i.e. I have the first drop down box to be state and Id like the next drop down of region to be filtred by the initial state dropdown.
    Sounds simple but Im afriad Im pulling my hair out with this one.
    Any tips?

    It’s possible, you’ll need to use a custom template and add some of your own javascript to the form so it can respond to the user selection.

    I’ve written an article that explains one way to accomplish this, it may or may not be directly applicable, but it provides one way this can be done.

    Thats awesome.. Worked a treat. Thank you for that.

    Without pushing my luck here, I managed to get this working on my registration form (where I was using the Optgroup to group my selection fro registration but I couldnt get it to work on the Multi Select Search plugin in? Im gueesing becasue these arent driven by optgroups but from records in the database. Any tips here?
    Thank you so much. Love the plugin!

    I answered my own question and made then optgroups and its worked there too but only as a a single seclt option (dropdown) option. What if I selected a multi dropbox to select more than one record. I cant get it to work in that instance. Sorry for askign simple questions

    Thanks again

    The tutorial is just to get you started, you will need to have the javascript skills to expand the code for your specific needs.
