Looking For Idea In Order To Make Easy The Selection Whit Plenty Of Choices

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some ideas in order make easy the selection than a user should do in a creation or update form.

listBox is a good way to do it easily, however when there are a lot of possible choices, listBox becomes not very ergonomic for user. So I’m looking for some idea to make it easy and simple.

A notice, my form is displayed in a dialog box.

My first Idea was to open another dialog box, when clicking on a link beside the label, where I’ll display something making easy the selection but I don’t know if it’s technically possible.

Rely on you =D.

Idea and technical way to implement it would be appreciated.

I’ve moved it to General Discussion (from Tips and Tutorials) - is that OK? :)

Dear Friend

One suggestion is to use grid with checkboxes in a dialog.

Kindly check whether the following thread is useful.

Cjuidialog, Foreign Key Cgridview Filtering

Check these extensions:

AsmselectX

Multiselect

EchMultiSelect

I checked these extensions which are good when the form is not in a dialog… my form are in dialog which is opened every time a user want to create or edit an entry…

The form is launched in dialog through an IFrame then not using javascript. I guess I could open a second Dialog in order to choose a list of object (when there are a lot of object available). This dialog using javascript this time… what do you think about it ? And in this new Dialog I could display something that you suggest with extension.
