"search all" help part 2

[codybrucewilliams]

Past thread was closed so i had to copy and paste the important parts here:


From Someone:

You can't change it via language without it changing outside of the search. However the extra fields for search are all done via ajax, so you could alter the javascript to rewrite it to anything you want:

I've added this in two places see below:
Code:
msg = msg.replace(/Please Select/g, 'Search All');
Code:
$("#type").change(function()
{
$("#response").show();
$("#optResponse").hide();
//alert($('#type option:selected').val());
$.ajax({
url: 'ajax.php',
data: 'action=extra_listing_fields&do=search§ion=' + $('#type option:selected').val(),
type: 'post',
success: function (msg) {
msg = msg.replace(/Please Select/g, 'Search All');
$("#response").html(msg);
}
});
});

$("#parent").change(function()
{
$("#response").show();
//alert($('#section option:selected').val());
$.ajax({
url: 'ajax.php',
data: 'action=extra_listing_fields§ion=' + $('#type option:selected').val(),
type: 'post',
success: function (msg) {
msg = msg.replace(/Please Select/g, 'Search All');
$("#response").html(msg);
}
});
});

Just to clarify John's excellent response, the javascript code that he is referring to is in the template file not the ajax file itself. search.tpl



SO now, his help did indeed work for the first search boxes, but not the next ones as in this picture.

Is there more code that i can add to change it to "SEARCH ALL" as indicated by the photo?

Is that a child extra field??? I believe that is actually called from the language file LANG_PLEASE_SELECT

You don't have to copy/paste, the solution was provided and I generally close threads so they don't lose focus. In this case just link to it: How to add "Search All" to extra fields

It should work for the child dropdown too, in my tests with a single parent/child both were rewritten. I don't have time to recreate the fields to retest it today, but if you can send a link I'd be glad to take a look.

I am sorry for posting it twice... and honestly i don't expect help, just more of a question and hopefully someone has time to answer, i don't mean to actually create work for anyone at all...

Yes i think i mistakenly for got to put in... the added code does in fact work for changing "search all" on parent category. the MODEL categories is a child category... i double checked when someone said that and it is true....

I do not want you guys to work at it, but if you know off the top of your head what i would have to change to change a child catargry to say "search all". If its hard or difficult, i could maybe find aa different method... Like maybe writhing at the top saying "Please select" means "Search All" or something like that.... will be back tonight to test.... thank you for your replies so far.

[John Snyder +]

Don't sweat it, if I have some time tomorrow I will setup the fields again and double check that it should do the child dropdown as well. I remember that it did for me, but its been some time.

$("#parent").change(function()
    {
        $("#response").show();
        //alert($('#section option:selected').val());
        $.ajax({
            url: 'ajax.php',
            data: 'action=extra_listing_fields§ion=' + $('#type option:selected').val(),
            type: 'post',
            success: function (msg) {
                msg = msg.replace(/Please Select/g, 'Search All');
                $("#response").html(msg);
            }
        });
    });

This bit should rewrite the child option text when ever the parent is changed. If that is not happening it might be that the javascript isn't able to find the element since it was also loaded via ajax. What browser (version too) are you using?

tested in Chrome 12 and IE 8 and firefox 5, all same
