i start using your excellent cms, and want to use some ajax in the admin view edit content, i want to use nested combo-box (for cars : one for make and the other for model). i use jCombo for this so my javascript is :
$("#model").jCombo("getModels.php?id=", { parent: "#make" } );

my question is where i can place the file "getModels.php" and is it possible to use the bancha classes and helpers.. on it ? [/quote]

Hello, you can extend the admin/Axax Controller so you can add a new method with your code. Please refer to:

Thank you for the response, but jcombo need a file to be indicated like :
$("#model").jCombo("getModels.php?id=", { parent: "#make" } );

so i creat the file getModels.php in the views directory and call it like :
$("#model").jCombo("<?php echo the path here?>admin/getModels.php?id=", { parent: "#make" } );

and in getModels.php i use directly a query tio the records table by a mysql connection...
i know it's not cute but it works fine.

i hope you continue your excellent work..

Hello, you could use the helpers to print the controller path, like this:

Code:

$("#model").jCombo("<?php echo admin_url('ajax/getmodels'); ?>");

That prints out a string similar to: http://example.com/admin/ajax/getmodels
"getmodels" is your method inside the controllers/admin/ajax.php controller

Documentation can be found here: http://docs.getbancha.com/framework/help...bsite.html

Inside the method, you can use the base CodeIgniter DB Active record like this:

Code:

$this->db->select('*')->from('yourtable')->get()->result();

Or, if you need to extract the records from a content type:

Code:

$this->records->type('typename')->get();

Cheers,
Nicholas
