Click here to link...

On a page from link ther eis filter with input field for text search and select field for search in multipleselect field. I need to have select field to work like autocomplete but have a look of select field. I mean I need to be able to type text on a place of -select element- and then in dropdown I will get values with my letters, but what I don't like in autocomplete is that when I select one value, it show it like button and creats another input field to search another value.

I want to have everything as now in select field but add input field to allow typing letters. I need it because in some fields there maybe 100 or more items. like in model field here check advanced search.

Giorgi625 I need to have select field to work like autocomplete but have a look of select field.

Do you mean something like the "Combo - Selectbox/Inputfield" in Joomla module manager -> edit module -> Positions? It makes use of:
Chosen – Single https://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/

Chosen is also used in Cobalt SELECT input field template.
So I believe it could be implemented in the FILTER template as well. Might need an override, or alt-layout.


Or maybe Bootstrap Select ? https://silviomoreto.github.io/bootstrap-select/examples/#live-search
