Sencha Touch - showing results from search form

thehappyappy · 04-08-2011, 04:20 PM

I'd be grateful for any help please. I've just started to build my first ever sencha app and am pleased with the results so far, but am now stuck on one thing. I've built a search form and want to be able to display the results on the same page, but this is where I'm stuck. The form works and sends the results using GET, but it doesn't send it to the correct place. I want to show it on the same page (I've built a php file called search.php to handle the results), but it reloads the whole app with the variables in the url.

I've tested all of the code away from the app and it works perfectly so I know the problem isn't with the code, but more with my lack of understanding of Sencha so would be extremely grateful for any help.

Code:

searchForms = new Ext.TabPanel({
    fullscreen: true,
    title: 'Search',
    displayField: 'text',
    store: searchForm,
    iconCls: 'search',  
    items: [{
        id: 'searchSubmit',
        xtype: 'form',
        standardSubmit : true,
        scroll: 'vertical',
        items: [{
            xtype: 'fieldset',
            title: 'Keywords',
            defaults: {
                // labelAlign: 'right'
                labelWidth: '35%'
            },
            items: [{
                xtype: 'textfield',
                name: 'keywords',
             id: 'keywords',
                placeHolder: 'EG: Music, TV',
                autoCapitalize : true,
                required: true,
                useClearIcon: true
            }]
        }, {
            xtype: 'fieldset',
            title: 'Advanced Search',
            items: [{
                    xtype: 'selectfield',
                name: 'genre',
             id: 'genre',
                label: 'Genre',
                options: [{
text: 'All',
value: ' '
text: 'Country',
value: '1'
text: 'Sci-Fi',
value: '2'
text: 'Western',
value: '3'
                }]
            }, {
                xtype: 'selectfield',
                name: 'media',
             id: 'media',
                label: 'Media',
                options: [{
text: 'All',
value: ' '
text: 'Music',
value: '1'
text: 'TV',
value: '2'
text: 'Movie',
value: '3'
                }]
            }]
        }, {
            layout: 'vbox',
            defaults: {xtype: 'button', flex: 1, style: 'margin: .5em;'},
            items: [{
                text: 'Search',
                 ui: 'confirm',
                scope: this,
                hasDisabled: false,
                handler: function(){
                    searchForms.submit({
                    url: 'search.php'
                });
                }
            }, {
                text: 'Reset',
                ui: 'decline',
                handler: function(){
                    searchForms.reset();
                }
            }]
        }]
    }]
});

I've then tried to use this to display the results on the same page, but as I say this just doesn't work. It doesn't call the search.php page at all.

I've made sure all of the files (except the index.js file which is in a js folder) are in the same directory as the index.html file.

I've also tried to load the file in the app seperately by using:

Code:

 
Ext.regModel('mobile', {
    fields: [
       {name: 'text',        type: 'string'}
    ]
});

var searchForm = new Ext.data.TreeStore({
    model: 'mobile',
    proxy: {
        type: 'ajax',
        url: 'search.php?keywords=test',
        reader: {
            type: 'tree',
            root: 'items'
        }
    }
});

and that works perfectly so I know that all of the php stuff is working and does work with Sencha Touch, but I'm just not sure how to get it to only work when somebody clicks 'search'

I'd be grateful for any help with this as I've spent days searching the web to get this fix, but nothing seems to be working

I don't know if this is of help, but the main javascript file is:

Code:

var tabPanel;

var homePanel = new Ext.Panel({
    title: 'Home',
    iconCls: 'home',
    fullscreen: true,
    scroll:{direction:'vertical',threshold:7},

        html: '<center><p>Home</p></center>'    
    }]
});

var servicePanel = new Ext.Panel({
    title: 'Services',
    iconCls: 'team',
    fullscreen: true,
    items: [{
        html: '<center>Please choose a service</center>'    
    }]
});

var searchPanel = new Ext.Panel({
    title: 'Search',
    iconCls: 'search',
    fullscreen: true,
    items: [{

    }]

This is the JavaScript forum. Java and Javascript are entirely different programming languages, in spite of the confusingly similar names. Rather like Austria and Australia! Ask a mod to move the thread over.

Sorry I didn't mean to imply that Sencha uses Java, it does use JavaScript. I'm pretty new to JavaScript and am completely stuck as to how to fix this
