EE Livesearch

He may be referring to this one, Mark.

Edit: refresh, refresh, refresh

Ok, It looks like the remove_entryid does not take advantage or check for the $EXT->last_call variable. That’s why it’s overriding the livesearch changes. Is there anyway someone on the EE team can update the cloner extension?

Thanks mark.

Oh, naughty. Sure, I’ll take care of it tonight, Mark. Heading out the house right now though, so it will be later in the evening.

eh, when you get a chance derek. i don’t think this issue is too hot right now. thanks again!

Great guys. No rush at all. I am glad you found the cause.

Version 1.1 of the Cloner extension is available for download.

Great! Thank you Derek, Works as advertised.

Woo Hoo!! Thanks Derek!

Any plan to bring this ability to the front end so users can search live too?

I’m not sure if anyone is interested in this but I installed this great extensions tonight but I noticed that it was still using the original classic admin colour scheme.

If anyone likes things to look perfect and intergrated here is some updated css code to give it the fresh new look we’re used to with the adminCP.

Around line 432 in the extensions file you will see the original style information.

Change with this:

#livesearch-query { font-weight:bold; }
   .grey { color:#999; }
   #livesearch-results a { color:#367caf; }
   #livesearch-results a:hover { color: #367caf ; }
   #livesearch-results { position:absolute;top:1em;right:29px;margin-top:30px;width:200px;background:#e0e8ea;padding:0;list-style:none;text-align:left;color:#367caf;border:1px solid #ccc; }
   #livesearch-results div { color:#ADC0CB;font-size:12px;padding:6px 10px;background: #142129 url(".$img_path."tab_inactive.gif) repeat-x left bottom; }
   #livesearch-results ol { margin-left:0; padding-left:0; list-style-position:inside; }
   #livesearch-results ol li { padding:3px 5px; }
   /*#livesearch-results ol li:hover,*/
   #livesearch-results ol li.selected {color: #367caf; background: #c1dbea; }
   /*#livesearch-results ol li:hover a,*/
   #livesearch-results ol li.selected a { color:#367caf; }

Save and you should be good to go!

Thanks to Mark for the extensions and Jesse Bennett-Chamberlain for the great looking AdminCP

thanks, danethomas. I’ve updated the extension to the new look and feel based on your code. the only thing i changed was making the selected color green to call it out a little more.

Thanks Mark!

I noticed some comments earlier in the thread about making it so that esc closes the dropdown - or as i thought maybe just a subtle x to close the box would be nice. I know that removing the contents of the search removed the box but something that can be a little fiddly (yes I know only 0.4 of a second more).

Actually probably more intuiative would just be for a click outside of the dropdown removes it - similar to the Google Suggest (http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en) dropdown list.

@danethomas the new version should now remove the list on blur and reappear on focus again.

Oh thats just brilliant - looks good and is a lot snappier to use now.

Many thanks!
