jQuery UI Autocomplete with CI ??

[eluser]seanloving[/eluser]
Does anybody know how to setup the jQuery UI Autocomplete for use with Codeigniter?

I see that the jQuery plugin on the wiki has a solution for the older jquery.autocomplete.js, but I wonder what is the trick to integrate jquery.ui.autocomplete.js with CI ??

Yes I got jQuery UI working with local data, as in this example

But how do I make jQuery UI work with remote data, like in this other example?


Thanks

Same as first example.

If you look inside the source of the 2nd example you find this code:

Code:

$("#birds").autocomplete({
            // TODO doesn't work when loaded from /demos/#autocomplete|remote
            source: "search.php",
            minLength: 2,
            select: function(event, ui) {
                log(ui.item ? ("Selected: " + ui.item.value + " aka " + ui.item.id) : "Nothing selected, input was " + this.value);
            }
        });

Source file is search.php, so the autocomplete sends a request to search.php and it returns some data with echo.

You could call this directly like: search.php?q=test

I have also applied jquery autocomplete in my one of my project, check it out:

thanks

@Mareshal- do you mean change the javascript from

Code:

..
source: search.php,
..

to something else?

@technovicebd-
Although what you have gives the type of functionality I'm looking for by using jquery.autocomplete.js, my question was about how to use the newer jquery.ui.autocomplete.js

1. Your code doesn't have proper indentation
2. Your code uses too many style="" instead of classes or IDs.
3. You include javascript in the entire code
4. your admin panel is a complete mess.

Before replying to me, think twice.

@seanloving: yes, change search.php to your search path,

when I use source: availableTags everything works fine. But when I use source: "http://localhost/sample.com/search" it does not work.

Code:

<s-cript type="text/javascript" src="&lt;?php echo base_url()."assets/js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js" ?&gt;">[removed]
    <s-cript type="text/javascript" src="&lt;?php echo base_url()."assets/js/jquery.ui.core.js" ?&gt;">[removed]
    <s-cript type="text/javascript" src="&lt;?php echo base_url()."assets/js/jquery.ui.widget.js" ?&gt;">[removed]
    <s-cript type="text/javascript" src="&lt;?php echo base_url()."assets/js/jquery.ui.position.js" ?&gt;">[removed]
    <s-cript type="text/javascript" src="&lt;?php echo base_url()."assets/js/jquery.ui.datepicker.js" ?&gt;">[removed]
    <s-cript type="text/javascript" src="&lt;?php echo base_url()."assets/js/jquery.ui.autocomplete.js" ?&gt;">[removed]
    var availableTags = ["PT-042-GP", "PT-042-TP", "PT-042-JP", "PT-042-RP", "PT-042-WP", "PT-042L-GP", "PT-042L-TP"];
    $(".product_picker").autocomplete({
        //source: availableTags,
        source: "http://localhost/sample.com/search",
        minLength: 1,
        select: function(event, ui) {
            log(ui.item ? ("Selected: " + ui.item.value + " aka " + ui.item.id) : "Nothing selected, input was " + this.value);
        }
    });

The file search.php is located in my application/controllers/ and I am thinking this is in fact correct.

Not sure if I need the jQuery AJAX helper and hook for CI in order to make this work with "remote data".

My ultimate goal is to autocomplete from MySQL database.
