I put the package of ajaxhelper (scriptaculous-js-1.8.2) but I don't found anything with the name of ajaxupdate.

Thanks for your help.

Install Package Directory Comment
X ajaxhelper 5.2.2 /packages/ajaxhelper New install.

I select the package and then press next.. The message is "No packages selected." What can I do? Thanks.

Yes, this looks like a problem with the JavaScript created by ajaxhelper. You will have to make sure the objects are referenced correctly.

I'd suggest opening the page in FireFox + Firebug to see exactly what line is producing the error. It most likely has something to do with differences between the ajaxhelper version on which I developed the widget, and the current ajaxhelper.

Once you find the line, see if you can figure out what ajaxhelper proc should be called.

Best regards,

The problem you reported probably means that the JS code is not being loaded for the page. take a lok at the Ajax Helper docs in the /doc/ajaxhelper in you install. In order for the package to work, you need the following changes:

The ajax helper package must be installed and mounted in /ajax . The installer should automatically mount the ajax helper in /ajax/ upon installation of the package.

Lee Denison's template::head code must be available. This code will soon be committed to CVS head after consulting the community and some more testing.

In the mean time, you can find the files you need to implement template head from packages/ajaxhlper/www/docs. You should copy the files into the following locations
acs-integration-procs.tcl
openacs_root/packages/acs-templatng/tcl/
head-procs.tcl
openacs_root/packages/acs-templatng/tcl/
blank-master.adp

This problem seems to be related with the package versions you are using. Can you take a look at wich versions you are using? Take a look at the file /acs-admin/apm link for the acs-templating and acs-subsite packages, please.

I could not have resolved the problem yet. I only need to integrate the smart search widget (autosuggest) in a text box with the openacs doing only a select /n from a table.

Thanks for your help.

I only need that the box show me the results of my select depending on the letter I write.

I show you my tree files:

1. smart-search-widget.tcl
----------------------------
set js_update_user_select [ah::ajaxupdate \
-container "results_box" \
-url "search-users" \
-pars "Form.serialize('searchform')"]

2. smart_search_widget.adp
---------------------------
.
.

<.. id="searchform">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<.. type="text" name="search" id="search" onKeyUp="@js_update_user_select;noquote@ document.getElementById('results_box').style.visibility='visible';" autocomplete="off" value="" />
.

set start [string first $search [string tolower $one_result]]
set end [expr $start + [string length $search]]

} if_no_rows {
set response "No results"
}

ns_write $response

ad_script_abort

I found the way to return exactly the letters I write...

How I do to select my choice and return this value into the box?
