Show objetc types & subobject types in different dropdownlist

jmeabe

I am using AdvSearchEx in order to build an advanced search.

I have a dropdownlist where only appers object types (not subobjecs).

Now I want to show another dropdownlist with subobjets.

The user has to choose one option in the first dropdownlist and the second dropdownlist has to be reloaded with the childs of the first dropdownlist selected.

I have managed to make some changes in "on select" method (first dropdownlist), my problem now is how to fill the second drowdownlist with the data I have in the "onselect" method.

The attributes listed that you can search against is based on object type selected. This is why the dropdownlist shows base type and possibly subtypes.

What is your requirement? It seems like you are trying to customizing something that is already supported out of the box and is just a matter of training the users.

Hi,

To add to Johnny's points, Type dropdown already displays all types OOB. Search is performed for the selected type + subtypes, if you don't want this you can always select the sub-type from the drop down

On other note, you can customize the advsearch component like below to display only the required object types,

<config version='1.0'>
     <scope>
          <component id="advsearch" extends="advsearch:/webtop/config/advsearchex_component.xml">                              
               <includetypes descend="false">type1,type2,...</includetypes>
          </component>
     </scope>
</config>
