Textpattern Support Forum

Hello,

I’m currently designing a website for myself. I’m working out design and functionality at the moment, but haven’t started with the Textpattern side of things.

My question:

Is it possible for articles to be sorted and filtered without a page refresh? So, lets say I have a list of musical compositions… I would like for a user to be able to click through a dropdown list to select a year, for example, then pick genre, or instrumentation.

I would like it to happen that… as the user selects the different sort orders or different a different filter (category? custom field?), different results would automatically show. So, when they select “jazz” genre from the “sort” drop-down, it would only show a list of jazz compositions. Then, if they additionally selected “chronological” from the sort menu, it would display them chronologically. Or, if they then changed their mind and selected “alphabetically” it would display things, well, alphabetically.

It would also be great to have the option of selecting the sort order and the filter separately. Similarly, for the search… it would be great if it refreshed the article output, but not the full page.

Any help much appreciated!

Douglas.
