Get options from database limit??

Hi Orazio,

By default, CMS Builder imposes a limit of 1000 records on drop down lists. If you need to override this, here is some information on how to do that:

Lists of this length will probably be pretty hard to work with for users. Is there a reason why it needs to be a drop down list? There may be other options for this field that would not require you to customize the code.

Hope this helps

Hi Orazio,

Okay, I see where you're going. A good option here would be to use the "Advanced Filter" option on your Province and Cities drop downs. What this does is populate a list with values, based on the selection in another field. This will only work if your province section stores which region it's in, and if your cities section stores which province it's in.

If it does, you can set up your fields so that when you select a region, your province field populates with provinces only in that region, and when you select a province, the cities list will populate with cities only in that province. This will help shorten your lists considerably and make it easier to work with.

For some more information on how to get started with this, see this post:

Is it possibile to have the same in the search engine?

Hi,

You can use a similar technique when creating a search form. You will have to use jquery to update the region and city fields.

Hope this helps
