NMultiselect is a multi select box for jquery. Useful in php, ASP.NET MVC or other AJAX heavy projects.

Future of NMultiSelect

Posted on3 Comments

Now that I have made a few releases of my jQuery plug-in, NMultiSelect, I have begun work on a future version of the plug-in, version 2.0.

At the moment that version has the following features, that the current (1.5.4) doesn’t:

The new features (at the moment) are:

  • Full jQuery 1.6+ compatibility (I like to move forward so this version will not be backward compatible with jQuery!)
  • NMultiSelect from <select>-tags (this is actually a quite cool solution, and doesn’t alter postbacks what so ever, so you can use it without altering your code-behind!).
  • Drag-n-Drop. (Who needs buttons anyway?).
  • Drop down. (Hide the big and ugly box away and minimize your layout.)
  • All NMultiSelect-boxes is found in their own <div>-tag now. (Prettier HTML).
  • Functions to remove all or single item from the lists. (Easier maintenance with AJAX).
  • Easier access to lost NMultiSelect-box reference using default jQuery selectors.
  • More methods to alter NMultiSelect-behavior.
  • Possibility to bind multiple event-handlers.
  • A lot of core updates and changes.
  • Auto loading of dependencies. All you need to get NMultiSelect is just the jQuery-file and NMultiSelect-file. The plug-in takes care of the rest.
  • A small graphical update. Just a little eye-candy.

If you have anything to add to this list, don’t be shy, just give ’em to me!

UPDATE:

I have made a few screen dumps of some of the new features, for you to see:

UPDATE 2:

I have published an early preview of the v2 of NMultiSelect.

Please note, this is not final, nor stable but I will try to fix as many bugs as possible within the next 1 or 2 weeks.

I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything for a long time, but I’m actually drowning in work so I’ve just been to damn busy. But I will make it up for you guys. I Promis!

You can see the preview here:

NMultiSelect 1.5.4

Posted on3 Comments

Just a service update.

I think I was way to fast in releasing the 1.5.3-version. It was extremely buggy, had a few bugs and didn’t live up to the standards I think a release from me should meet. So therefore, forget the 1.5.3 (throw it away and never look back!) and get the latest NMultiSelect 1.5.4 instead. It is much more stable and nice than previous versions.

You can download NMultiSelect 1.5.4 here.

Or see it live here.

As always, comments are welcome!

Quick bug-fix, new features and Github

Posted onLeave a comment

Hi, sorry about the time since my last post, I’ve just been so damn busy.

After being notified about a serious bug (a missing function, thanks wilco) and a few new features (thanks Jimmy), I’ve decided to add the project to github.

All source code is now located on https://github.com/JohnDoe3000/NMultiSelect, except for pre-1.5.3-releases. The code for those is to be found on this website. You are welcome to contribute, comment and so on, both here, and at github.

NMultiSelect 1.5.3

The new features in this release is (thanks Jimmy, http://jimblanchard.net/) are:

The ability to remove the add/remove-all buttons, remove the filter-box and remove the ability to chose multiple items to transfer at once.

The new options looks like this:

var settings = {
Name: "NMultiSelect_" + $.NMultiSelect.Instances,
Move: true,
FilterText: "filter", // Set to null to disable filters
AvailableText: "Available items:",
SelectedText: "Selected items:",
EnableAddAll: true, // If false, the add-all-button is removed.
EnableRemoveAll: true, // If false, the remove-all-button is removed.
EnableMultiSelect: true, // If false, the ability to select multiple items at once, is removed.
Height: 150,
Width: 150,
FadeSpeed: "fast", // How fast would we wan't the fading to go?
TitleTag: "h2", // What tag should be surrounding our box title?
Title: null, // Our box title, if null, the box title is not shown.
SelectionLimit: -1 // -1 unlimited selections.

}

NMultiSelect v. 1.5.2

UPDATE

I know this is a very popular version, but I have made an update for it. It has more features and is much more stable.

You can always find the latest NMultiSelect version here:

https://ndesoft.dk/category/web/js/nmultiselect-js/

OK,

I know, I’m just throwing new versions out, but what else to do? When you guys ask me for a new feature, shouldn’t I just make it?

Well, this version is a minor update, with a new feature requested from bas, (https://ndesoft.dk/2011/04/26/nmultiselect-v-1-5-1/#comment-280):

Selection limits

What it is, is just a new option to add to the instantation object.

It looks like this:

settings = {
                Name: <span class="str">"NMultiSelect_"</span> + $.NMultiSelect.Instances,
                Move: <span class="kwrd">true</span>,
                FilterText: <span class="str">"filter"</span>,
                AvailableText: <span class="str">"Available items:"</span>,
                SelectedText: <span class="str">"Selected items:"</span>,
                Height: 150,
                Width: 150,
                FadeSpeed: <span class="str">"fast"</span>,
                TitleTag: <span class="str">"h2"</span>,
                Title: <span class="kwrd">null</span>,
                SelectionLimit: -1 <span class="rem">// -1 unlimited selections.</span>
            },

It can be any integral value from –1 to, well infinity (and beyond 🙂 ).

When set to –1, the user can select an infinite amount of items, when 0 the user can’t select anything, when 10, the user can select 10 items and so on.

Now you are wondering, why 1.5.2, instead of 1.5.1.1 (or whatever)? Well I have made a few optimizations to the code, moved some things around a bit and changed som names and so on, so it’s 1.5.2.
