Country / States / City Dropdown...

[crochefort]

Just want to know how people are creating something similar as this...

http://demos.developerdesks.com/dropdown_select/

And how to better keep it up to date...

Some database( Maxmind ) are 33meg ... so quite big and this might not work with the new Canada.ca ... so just wondering how to acheive this for a form that might be migrated to canada.ca eventualy!

Thanks

It would require JavaScript so you need to code a fall back when wbdisable is on or JS is turned off the user can still access the data (the example doesn't have a fall back).

@crochefort My PR #7790 will add a new plugin, named Fieldflow, that do it.

See the nesting working example: http://universallabs.org/wet/labs/wb-fieldflow/v0.2/wb-fieldflow.php#nesting

And it is designed in a way that it could be extended like you can add a custom srctype for the append action like:

$document.on( "CustomSrcType.draw.wb-fieldflow" , ".wb-fieldflow", function( event, data ) {
	if ( event.namespace === "draw.wb-fieldflow") {

		// ... Getting your datasource code here ..

		// ... Adapting the data to be passed to the next event ...

		// then trigger an event like: (see near line 1000 in the fieldflow source code for an example)
		$elm.trigger( renderas + "." + createCtrlEvent, {
			actions: actions,
			source: source,
			outputctnrid: data.outputctnrid,
			label: labelTxt,
			lblselector: labelSelector,
			defaultselectedlabel: data.defaultselectedlabel,
			required: !!!data.isoptional,
			items: $items,
			inline: data.inline
		} );
	}
} );

@crochefort What duboisp proposing is perfect for what your looking for. The new plug-in will take care of this issue. Can we close this issue ?

[duboisp]

@MaximMartel I think we should wait until the PR #7790 with Fieldflow is merged. For now that feature is not part of WET.

Glad to see a WET solution! I had previously looked at the "Chained Selects Plugin for jQuery":

Thanks @duboisp for this ... the other question is ... more specific with canada.ca ...

Maybe @MaximMartel can answer it ... do you plan to have something built-in to get everything "the same" for the big site ... like a liste ... a Database ... I don't see why multiple instance should be created when you(PP) can probably create something that will handle this kind of information a 1 place and beeing accessible everywhere...

Just to make sure that it's all the same information ... like no spelling mistake in page A and page B display something else when they should have the same information(Country/States/City).

That might help the issue we discuss yesterday ;)

Agree @duboisp, we will keep that issue open until your PR will be merged in.
