Drop-down to Searchbox

[livr517]

I've looked around for a bit and haven't come across this yet, I apologize in advance if it has already been answered.

   I need to change the schedule search from the default drop down list, to a search box. Both for the departure and arrival airports. I have a fairly large DB of airports and it heavy lags the site when it attempts to load them all under the drop down options. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

 

I'm using 5.5.x

Try this

In the file schedule_searchform.php, find this

<div id="depapttab">
  <p>Select your departure airport:</p>
  <select id="depicao" name="depicao">
    <option value="">Select All</option>
    <?php
    if(!$depairports) $depairports = array();
    foreach($depairports as $airport) {
    echo '<option value="'.$airport->icao.'">'.$airport->icao
    .' ('.$airport->name.')</option>';
    }
    ?>
  </select>
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Find Flights" />
</div>
<div id="arrapttab">
  <p>Select your arrival airport:</p>
  <select id="arricao" name="arricao">
    <option value="">Select All</option>
    <?php
    if(!$depairports) $depairports = array();
    foreach($depairports as $airport) {
    echo '<option value="'.$airport->icao.'">'.$airport->icao
    .' ('.$airport->name.')</option>';
    }
    ?>
  </select>
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Find Flights" />
</div>

Replace it with this

<div id="depapttab">
  <p>Select your departure airport:</p>
	<input type="text" name="depicao" />
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Find Flights" />
</div>
<div id="arrapttab">
  <p>Select your arrival airport:</p>
  <input type="text" name="arricao" />
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Find Flights" />
</div>

Exactly what, I was looking for. Thanks! for the help.

If I want to be able to allow for flight number lookup, what should I replace depicao or arricao with? 

[web541]

There's no default function to do this and it will require editing some of the core files and adding some lines here and there. It would be better to look into a flight search module that does this for you, but it is still possible to do it with the default search.

I am using this code on my version of crewcenter now. I am wondering if I can limit the search results. At the moment even if I type KJFK as dep airport, results comeback from the whole database. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello there, you may use the datatables to paginate your results into seperate pages of a table.

Here it is :

When you select KJFK for the departure airport, does it show only KJFK departures or does it show all departures in your database?

If it only shows KJFK departures, you can use pagination to display a smaller number of results per page - as eluded to by Yash. If it displays all schedulesfor your VA when selecting KJFK, you have an error in your coding.

Are you using the default schedule search or an addon module to search?

They key issue is that it shows all the airports, not only JFK

Yes I am.

Default skin or addon skin?

Try the search using the default skin and see if it displays only KJFK departures when selecting KJFK in the departure box.

What other addon modules do you have installed?

I tested the default skin as requested. In the default skin it works exactly like it should. It only shows JFK dep when i hit search.

I am using Mark Swans CrewCenter. While this skin is enabled, it throws back all airports instead of just JFK.

Hmm, interesting. So something in one of the Crew Center files is probably causing this.

Hopefully a member that uses Crew Center has found a fix.
