Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Res: Re: Res: Re: Res: Re: Res: Re: User Smart Search Widget with Ajax

Hi Eduardo: Do you check?

Hi Eduardo, you mention previously that you don't remember how you did it, and you were going to review your commit logs and show me later.

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.

Ok, I will update my instance to the version 5.4.3. I don't know if that version have the ajaxhelper package.

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="" />
.

3. search_users.tcl

set search ""

set search [string tolower $search]

set one_result "$name ($email)"

set start [string first $search [string tolower $one_result]]
set end [expr $start + [string length $search]]
set one_result_bolded "[string range $one_result 0 [expr $start-1]]&lt;b&gt;[string range $one_result [expr $start] $end][string range $one_result [expr $end+1] [expr [string length $one_result] - 1]]"

Hi Eduardo / Ryan:

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?
