Hi,

I have a first form with users info :

First Name | Last Name | Address

I have a second form For book renting :

Name of book (related to Book) | Date | Name of customer (Related to User above)

How could I have a field in wich I can begin typing the name of user and a choice of name appear ?

Hope the question is clear enough ? :-)

You can use Select dynamic for Name of customer and set it to use database table of your first content type to load options, if your storage is standard - article, this would be #__cck_store_form_YOURCONTENTYPENAME, if not see bellow tutorial for info which table you need to look at

Hi Klas,

and thank you for answering ...

The tip you give me here work so I have a select box now where i can find my customers. 

But I can't write in that box. What i wanted is when I begin to type then appear a choice of name. 

I.E. : I type "J" and appear "John",- "Jim" and "James" then I type "i" and only Jim appear... See what I mean ?

Any tip for that ?

Thanks by advance...

Hi,

there is a certain limit regarding number of options, when this search option is activated, I think this is set to 10 by default. If you have more than 10 options it should work.

Hi Stef,

I'm uderstand your need. We can do that by devoloping a new "CCK Field Plugin". This plugin can use a javascript animation like that "http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/".

If you want, we can develop this plugin for you during a support session. Just let us know.

Regards,
Mehdi.
