Autocomplete when adding new data

QuestionsAutocomplete when adding new data
Shehzad Ismail asked 11 years ago

Hello,

I'm trying to get this autocomplete feature on one of the fields in the "add window". Is that possible? Basically a user should be able to fill that field only with data that is returned by an sql query.

Hello,

If you are asking for autocomplete with no open text box (but just predefined options), It is currently not there.
I'm adding it in todo for upcoming builds.

Hello,

$opt["add_options"]["afterShowForm"] = 'function ()
{
var $elem = $("#client_id","#FrmGrid_list1").autocomplete({
source:"json_list_client.php",
minLength:3,
select: function( event, ui ) {
$("#client_id").val(ui.item.name);
}
}),elemAutocomplete = $elem.data("ui-autocomplete") || $elem.data("autocomplete");

if (elemAutocomplete) {
elemAutocomplete._renderItem = function (ul, item) {
var newText = String(item.value).replace(
new RegExp(this.term, "gi"),
"<span style='text-transform: uppercase;' class='ui-state-highlight'>$&</span>");

return $("<li></li>")
.data("item.autocomplete", item)
.append("<a>" + newText + "</a>")
.appendTo(ul);
};
}
}';

Regards,

Hi Abu, i'm trying the select2 options.

this is much better than autocomplete.

But there is a probleme with it , you can write down search word only on inline editing.

if you try to add or edit with form-editing, select is working but you cannot write down on the search input file.

Edit jqgrid_dist.php in add_options and edit_options
set: "jqModal" => false

$grid["add_options"] = array("recreateForm" => true, "closeAfterAdd"=>true, "closeOnEscape"=>true,
"errorTextFormat"=> "function(r){ return r.responseText;}", "jqModal" => false, "modal" => true
);
$grid["edit_options"] = array("recreateForm" => true, "closeAfterEdit"=>true, "closeOnEscape"=>true,
"errorTextFormat" => "function(r){ return r.responseText;}", "jqModal" => false, "modal" => true
);

Another fix for ie9, use latest build of select2.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/select2/3.5.2/select2.css">
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/select2/3.5.2/select2.js"></script>
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/select2/3.5.2/select2.min.js"></script>

Hello,

I've basically added following line to unfreeze keypress/keydown events added by modal dialog.

Working demo: http://phpgrid.org/demo/demos/integrations/dropdown-select2.php
Code: http://phpgrid.org/demo/demos/integrations/dropdown-select2.phps

jQuery(document).unbind('keypress').unbind('keydown');

Along with it, keep jqmodal => true (ignore my last solution)

$grid["add_options"] = array("recreateForm" => true, "closeAfterAdd"=>true, "closeOnEscape"=>true,
"errorTextFormat"=> "function(r){ return r.responseText;}", "jqModal" => true, "modal" => true
);
$grid["edit_options"] = array("recreateForm" => true, "closeAfterEdit"=>true, "closeOnEscape"=>true,
"errorTextFormat" => "function(r){ return r.responseText;}", "jqModal" => true, "modal" => true
);

Hi Abu,

Probleme with jqmodal turned off is first time you select an items its ok but after save or cancel on next edit or add , wrong modal is opened.

Code: http://www.phpgrid.org/demo/demos/integrations/dropdown-select2.phps

edit one cell(no inline edit) , click cancel and choose another , same client is diplayed.
