Hello,

I need your help because i have no idea how to do this :)

I created a module using Aparna to be able to use in Genosis. I need a mutiple select live search form field like "Existing Event Sources" in jrGenEvent create page. The form field i need will search the profile names and write the profile ids to the database.

I tried to make this by examining the existing modules but i couldn't do anyting because i don't know much about php or coding, unfortunately.

I would appreciate it if you could help me.

That is going to be a bit tricky to setup, as that's a completely custom field used by the Genosis Events module, so you'll want to check out the modules/jrGenEvent/index.php file, and look for the "view_jrGenEvent_update()" function - that contains the calls to "selectize" (which is the javascript package that provides the enhanced select).

Hope this helps!

This is way too over me, i tried it at least ten time starting over and over again and i still can't do it. I gave up. :(

Is there an easy way to draw profile names and profile ids in multiple select by using form designer or index.php?

You could do it in a 'multi_select' form field, but there is no 'multi_live_search', which is what you originally asked for.
For a 'multi_select', do something like -

    $_tmp = array(
        'name'    => 'field_name',
        'type'    => 'select_multiple',
        'label'   => 'Select Profiles',
        'help'    => 'Your help string for this field',
        'options' => 'yrModule_get_profiles',
        'default' => 0
    );
    jrProfile_register_quota_setting('yrModule', $_tmp);

'yrModule_get_profiles' would be a function to return key/value array pairs of _profile_id and profile_name

Thank you Paul,

Unfortunately, my actual problem is writing the function.

function yrModule_get_profiles(){
    $_s = array(
        "order_by"    => array("profile_name" => "ASC"),
        "limit"       => 1000000,
        "return_keys" => array("_profile_id", "profile_name")
    );
    $_rt = jrCore_db_search_items('jrProfile', $_s);
    if (is_array($_rt['_items'])) {
        $_out = array();
        foreach ($_rt['_items'] as $rt) {
            $_out[$rt['_profile_id']] = $rt['profile_name'];
        }
        return $_out;
    }
    else {
        return false;
    }
}

Thank you Paul,

This brings profile names but it does not write the ids to the database. It just writes the word "array" to the db.

You need to process the selected profiles in the form view's 'save' function into the format that you want them saving on the datastore. Are you doing that?
