hi,

I'm facing an issue when I create a custom field for Contact's Address as an Autocomplete-select style, the field in the Create New Individual form doesn't have the autocomplete Behaviour. Actually a regular textbox is displayed (without the lens icon in the right side) and no options list is shown when you type in.

Weird but the same field in the Advanced search is displayed correctly.
It seems that doesn't work only in the main Contact form.

After debugging a little bit I found that the file "CRM/Custom/Form/AutoComplete.tpl" is included by "CRM/Contact/Form/Edit/Address/CustomField.tpl" and when I view the source code the javascript that enables the autocomplete for the textbox has the url variable empty, when for the rest of custom fields (Individual type, not Address) that variable is set and they work fine
cj( function( ) {
    --->  var url       = "";     <----
    var custom    = "#custom_36_-1";
    var custom_id = "input[name=custom_36_-1_id]";
 
    var customObj   = cj(custom);
    var customIdObj = cj(custom_id);
   
    if ( !customObj.hasClass('ac_input') ) {
        customObj.autocomplete( url,
            { width : 250, selectFirst : false, matchContains: true
            }).result(
                function(event, data ) {
                    customIdObj.val( data[1] );
                }
        );
        customObj.click( function( ) {
            customIdObj.val('');
    });
     }
});



I'm not sure if this empty variable is causing the bug, but for sure is part of it.
I will try to find out where to set it in the source code..

If anyone has an idea how to fix it, would be great


thanks guys!

Hi lobo,

I created an address custom field in the demo server (Street Type), autocomplete style and, yes, it has the same issue.
No automcomplete behaviour, just a flat textbox


I will fill in an issue with reporting this.
