Filterable lists (PHP MySQL, Jscript...)

Post by hairyjim »

My server-side is PHP, MySQL and JQuery on the client.

Not sure If I got this in the right area of the forums - sorry if posted in the worng part!

This is what I wish to achieve but taking a little further: http://www.newmediacampaigns.com/files/ ... e.html#all

The above touches upon what I wsh to achieve, a way of filtering a group of items by making a single choice but I wish to do multidimensional filtering.

So rather than each link at the top of the example doing the filter a user could choose from an option underneath each category.

So for instance category 'a' could have 5 options, cat 'b' 3 options, cat 'c' 10 options. The user would have the ability to filter the data by choosing a single option in each category or they could only choose from cat 'c' if they so wished.

I have no idea what this type of solution is called so my google searched have been a bit fruitless, Ideally I'd like to see an example of this working or even get the code to do this and I could take it andf modify to my own needs etc.

Could someone point me in the right direction with this sort of filtering?

Hmm perhaps my question is a little too unfocussed.

Do people know of good solutions for content tagging that allow a user to interrogate the tagged content?
