Linking SF fields to images/icons etc..

Anonymous

Hello,

I am trying to have an image/button/icon trigger a search result (just like the checkbox does).

I have done this succesfully just using the link, but it loads the page rather then using AJAX like the rest of the system does.

Please help me achieve this.

thanks

Hi Amy

How are you trying to do this? Are you just creating regular hyperlinks which you would like to be loaded with Ajax?

Thanks

Hi Amy

What you want can be done, in a different way. Instead of creating hyperlinks, you need to create buttons, and these would need to update a hidden (with css) search field and then trigger the form to submit, which would cause the ajax to refresh the results. That somewhat depends on coding skills of course. The js would be fairly simple.

ok that makes sense. Where would I need to look to see examples on the JS part?

To give you a better Idea…. I have a row of 7 icon boxes that I want to trigger different results for. Would each button need to have a SF form (hidden), or just one form for the row?

It rather depends what the search is. For example, let us say I was searching categories for a post type, each button representing a different category, then there is only one search field; category, and all you are doing is setting one field in a single form. It might be easier to discuss this, if you are OK with speaking English, over skype. I will send a second message marked as private with my details.
