Namepicker implementation

[dominodeviant]

Have anyone implemented codestore.net 's NamePicker (http://www.codestore.net/apps/namepick.nsf/39aae663af35fe4780257129005e0382/46f7e848051317a38025712900634c08?EditDocument) witin an Ext.nd application?

I have not manager to get the namepicker (using prototype and scriptacolous) to work together with Ext and Ext.nd. The result is all kind of js errors.

Anyone?

Kind regards,

This is certainly on our todo list as we've already used some of the other components from Jake's DExt release. I expect it wouldn't be too difficult, but I have not tried it as of yet.

mdm-adph already made an address book live search

Address Book Live Search (http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12116)

This is'nt fit to your needs?

That implementation only searches the specific NAB that you direct it to, what if there are multiple NAB's or other sources? (LDAP?)

Or with directory assistance...yes I know...

What I've done with Names Piker is to add an scheduled agent to retrieve nab from directory assistance, and set a param document in the app database.

Then I add a drop down to select the nab where looking for names.

Finaly the Url provided to the names picker are computed with the drop down value.

I think it could be adapted to mdm-adph "Live Search"

I use it in a Real estate application to retrieve street names, addresses.

Works fine for me in ext. The way I deal with selecting lots of different diectories is to stick the filepath in the js header, then use another "Jakeism", Update categories on a combo box to change the path.

Give us a shout if you want to know more
