Resourcelist TV type - searchable

[tm2000]

Hi all,

So I have a migx call where I want the user to be able to select a page to link to from a dropdown list. I want all resources to be in there, so I just used this:

{
        "field":"id1"
        ,"caption":"Big Box Left"
        ,"inputTVtype":"resourcelist"
    }

Which works fine - but with a big list of resources, it’s sometimes hard to find the one you want. Is there a way for users to be able to start typing the name or ID of the page, and it filters them?
Also, I have a few pages which have the same pagetitle, but are within other sections, such as ‘dining/about’ and ‘bedrooms/about’ - so ideally the parent’s name would also show in the list so they know which ‘about’ page they are selecting.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Andy

a dynamicDropDown TV, maybe with a custom processor could work

SuperBoxSelect could also be an option.

MODX Extras | SuperBoxSelect 2.4.2-pl

You can search for resources by pagetitle. But if you want to search by ID or display the name of the parent in the listing, then you’ll have to write a custom processor.

Thanks. This looks good - can it be used within migx?

@tm2000

can it be used within migx?

Yes, I think that’s possible.

So I tried changing the inputTVtype to SuperBoxSelect like this:

{
        "field":"id1"
        ,"caption":"Big Box Left"
        ,"inputTVtype":"SuperBoxSelect"
    }

But when this only shows up as a standard text field in the manager when adding items to the migx TV.

Do I need any further settings somwhere? I’ve check the docs but can’t fid anything that would relate to Migx.

Thanks!

Create a new TV of Input Type “SuperBoxSelect” in the Manager (maybe also set “Max. Elements:” to 1) and give it a Name like “mysuperboxselect”. Don’t assign it to a template!

Then use this new TV in MIGX with

"inputTV":"mysuperboxselect"

instead of

"inputTVtype":"SuperBoxSelect"

Ah so simple. Thank you so much!
