Any chance for a completion date for this module ?

This will make CCK nodereference behave in a more user friendly way, currently with the "select list" option, if user forgets to hold CTRL key down they loose all the links that were associated with that node, and there is no way of getting them back after submission.

Thanks
Stephen

Title: Unable to test module. » The module works as it says on the tin.

I managed to get the module working in Drupal 5.0, and I got the images in place OK.

But is there any chance you could assist in getting the module to work in Drupal 4.7.

Thanks
Stephen

Thanks for trying it out. I'm really busy with my current project at the moment but I'll be fixing the remaining bugs in the next few weeks. I can't however back-port it I'm afraid - not enough time! Sorry...

Title: The module works as it says on the tin. » how to get it working on 5.1?

spjsche, would you mind sharing how you go this module to work on 5.1? I think this is a great contribution and really need it, but am getting strange behavior and errors when using with 5.1....

Thanks!

Just to point out that I only tested it on 5.1 to see if it actually worked, I really want it for 4.7, and I am trying to back port it at some point.

But all I did was, I added an images directory in the multiselect directory, and then amended the following function to correctly point where the images reside.

I have only included the lines that I changed.

--------------------------------------
function => _html_for_buttons

$addremovebuttons.= "src='../../modules/extras/multiselect/images/add.png' ";

$addremovebuttons.= "src='../../modules/extras/multiselect/images/delete.png' ";

--------------------------------------

You notice that I have an "extras" directory in my modules directory, which you might not.

I then created a CCK nodereference, and chose multiselect from the widget options, and it all worked.

hope it helps.

Hello I've finally got some time available to work on this next week (after Tuesday) - so it should be finished by next Friday.
Does anyone know where I /should/ be putting the images. Or if anyone has any alternative ideas about where the images should come from. I just made those two on the spur of the moment, if anyone has any alternative images or advice please post it :)

Thanks,
Mike.

An icons directory within the module would keep it nice and compact, but I actually used the "left" and "right" icons that are located in the apache icons directory.

Thanks for your time.

spazfox, you said you were "getting strange behavior and errors when using with 5.1", could you report them so I can have a go at fixing them! :)

There's one problem I've got with the 'preview' functionality (I've explained it in this issue) but apart from that (and possible problems with the images), I think the new version 5.x-1.0 shouldn't be too buggy.

I do need to test it in Internet Explorer (but that's not available for this OS, will be testing it later).

Thanks for helping out with the module. I'm glad people are finding it useful!

Mike.

Thanks for the info , I will try to perform some tests and comment accordingly.
I am still working on a 4.7 port, so I will incorporate your changes in the port.
