Using input/autocomplete with elgg

Using input/autocomplete with elgg_view

By stevewc 5408 days ago

Hi,

I'm trying to create a view that uses the "input/autocomplete" text input.

The code in this test view is:

<div class="contentWrapper">
<form action="<?php echo $vars['url']; ?>action/issues/new" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
        <?php echo elgg_view('input/securitytoken'); ?>
        <p>
                <label><?php echo elgg_echo("issues:icon"); ?><br />
                <?php
                        echo elgg_view("input/autocomplete",array('internalname' => 'issuer','match_on'=>'group'));
                ?>
                </label>
        </p>
                <input type="submit" class="submit_button" value="<?php echo elgg_echo("save"); ?>" />
        </p>
</form>
</div>

And the generated code seems to look OK - except that it does not pick out matching groups - the little ticker spins but nothing shows up. I cant find any other reference to sample code on google for input/autocomplete so does this work?

Thanks

Update: Solved it with the following code. Thanks again to both of you guys.
case 'words':
// don't return results if groups aren't enabled.
$query = "SELECT * FROM {$CONFIG->dbprefix}objects_entity as oe, {$CONFIG->dbprefix}entities as e
WHERE e.guid = oe.guid
AND e.enabled = 'yes'
$owner_where
AND e.subtype = '43'
AND (oe.title LIKE '$q%' OR oe.description LIKE '%$q%')
LIMIT $limit
";
if ($entities = get_data($query)) {
foreach ($entities as $entity) {
$json = json_encode(array(
'type' => 'object',
'subtype' => 'word',
'name' => $entity->title,
'desc' => elgg_get_excerpt(strip_tags($entity->description), 30),
'icon' => '',
'guid' => $entity->guid
));
//$results[$entity->name . rand(1,100)] = "$json|{$entity->guid}";
$results[$entity->title . rand(1, 100)] = $json;
}
}
break;
