JQuery auto complete

[eluser]GrootBaas[/eluser]
Hi there,

I would really appreciate any help.

It seems that the jQuery plugin uses a $_GET parameter and therefore can’t work with the CI URL re-routing.

It has been mentioned to change

Code:

$.ajax({type: "get"

to

Code:

$.ajax({type: "post"

in the jquery.autocomplete.js, but I can find no such statement.

Help me please ....

jQuery defaults to GET, so it isn't specified. You'll have to add that parameter.

Code:

$.ajax({
    // try to leverage ajaxQueue plugin to abort previous requests
    mode: "abort",
    // limit abortion to this input
    port: "autocomplete" + input.name,
    type: "post",
....

Guys,

Thank you so much for your help. You really make a difference in somebody's live with the fast and educated replies. Thank you all again.

For the next person who comes across this problem ...

Inside jquery.autocomplete.js

Change

Code:

$.ajax({mode: "abort",
    port: "autocomplete" + input.name,
    dataType: options.dataType,
    url: options.url,
    data: $.extend({
    q: lastWord(term),
    limit: options.max
    }, extraParams),
    success: function(data) {
    var parsed = options.parse && options.parse(data) || parse(data);
               cache.add(term, parsed);
             success(term, parsed);
                }
});

to this ...

Code:

$.ajax({type: "post",
        mode: "abort",
    port: "autocomplete" + input.name,
    dataType: options.dataType,
    url: options.url,
    data: $.extend({
    q: lastWord(term),
    limit: options.max
    }, extraParams),
    success: function(data) {
    var parsed = options.parse && options.parse(data) || parse(data);
               cache.add(term, parsed);
             success(term, parsed);
                }
});

Then in your controller, change ....

Code:

$q = strtolower($_GET["q"]);

to

Code:

$q = strtolower($_POST["q"]);

Great, it worked successfully.

Thanks,

Julian

PS: You can use $_REQUEST in case you want to preserve both methods in the logic.

$q = strtolower($_REQUEST["q"]);

Could someone give me a quick example of the function in a controller used for this? I think I'm way off base with what I've got and I'm actually kind of embarrassed to post it heh.

Or you can just use Xajax, its heaps better in my experience

*EDIT*
Ohhh, ya, I don't want to stray away from jQuery. Think I'm gonna keep using it instead of going to another framework. Thanks for the suggestion though.
