A live version of the page is posted here:
http://www.buhlfoundation.org/whatwedo/recent-recipients.php
The drop down is generated from the db, but I can't seem to get it to work.
Viewer code...
<?php
require_once "/data/16/1/154/52/1806867/user/1957059/htdocs/cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php";
list($past_recipientsRecords, $past_recipientsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'past_recipients',
'loadUploads' => '0',
'allowSearch' => '1',
'where' => 'showonsite=1',
));
?>Form Code...
<form method="GET" action="recent-recipients.php" style="background: #eee; padding: 7px 10px;margin: 0 0 20px">
<label>Show Grants From Another Quarter:</label>
<select name="date_awarded_keyword">
<?php foreach ($past_recipientsRecords as $record): ?>
<?php if ($record['date_awarded'] != @$boardMtgdate): ?>
<?php $boardMtgdate = $record['date_awarded']; ?>
<option value="<?php echo ($record['date_awarded']) ?>"><?php echo date("F j, Y", strtotime($record['date_awarded'])) ?></option>
<?php endif ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>Re: [jdancisin] Paginate by Category

Thanks for posting!
I think this one is going to come down to how you store the dates in your database.
Do you actually say what quarter each record is in, or do you just enter the current date when you add it?
This will determine how the code needs to work on your page.
Let me know and we'll go from there. Thanks!

I think the first step here is going to be switching the name of that drop down menu from:
date_awarded_keyword
to
date_awarded_min
That will basically say, return all listings that have a date higher than the one you selected.
Now, from there, we can either do a little bit of code and calculate what quarter you are currently in and determine from there, what articles should be displayed.
An easier way might be to just have a second drop down for the max date (date_awarded_max) so you are basically just doing a range search.
The second option will be easier to setup.
Let me know what you think ;).

When I select "January 21, 2009" I only want to see the grants awarded on that date. Another thing is that after a search has been run I need the drop down to continue to display all of the possible dates. But right now it only displays the date I selected. I realize the methodology I am using to generate the drop down is to blame for this, but I don't know another way.

I think this is going to be something I need to take a closer look at.
Could you send me an email through consulting@interactivetools.com with a link to this post and some FTP details?
Thanks!
