Hi, I'm trying to use the code from http://en.flossmanuals.net/civicrm/ch066_api/ to add autocomplete for the current employer field in a profile which i'd like to show in a block

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  $('#current_employer').crmAutocomplete({params:{contact_type:'Organization'}});
});
</script>

I'm using the "html form snippet" feature to make my profile block, which is perhaps not the ideal way to do it (hardcoded and unnecessary extras?)

So firstly not sure if that would cause any issues..

The above code adds the magnifying glass to the field but doesn't return any results. Looking in firebug it's getting a 404

http://MYURL/civicrm/ajax/rest?rowCount=35&json=1&fnName=civicrm/contact/search&contact_type=Organization&return[sort_name]&return[email]&&s=g&limit=25&timestamp=1313420215182&sort_name=g
and i can see that it's not pointed to the right location - it should be

http://MYURL/MYSUBFOLDER/civicrm/ajax/rest?etc
i.e. it's just going to the server root rather than the actual drupal install directory.

the drupal and civi base seem to be set correctly if i look at the settings.php - i don't know if it would use that or if there's another setting elsewhere, or whether it's another problem entirely?

thanks!

hi Xavier, i couldn't get that code to work, is it definitely correct? says "missing ; before statement"

either way, if i just put {$config->userFrameworkResourceURL} in a template it seems to give the expected result:

http://MYURL/MYSUBFOLDER/sites/all/modules/civicrm/ ajaxURL: "/MYSUBFOLDER/civicrm/ajax/rest"
i do have clean urls enabled and disabling them gives the same original error, if that matters.

thanks,
david

Oops, it seems, can you try:


<script type="text/javascript">
var options = {ldelim}ajaxURL:"{$config->userFrameworkResourceURL}"{rdelim};
</script>

if you still have the error message, try:

var options = {ajaxURL: "/[MYSUBFOLDER]/civicrm/ajax/rest"};

Can you pm me an access? Not sure I understand what's going on.

Alternatively, you can patch the rest.js file indeed

ok here's an odd twist - it's not the same issue but related so apologies if it shouldn't be in this thread.

When using the method mentioned below to add autocomplete, it only works as expected for the first 2 letters - after that it will visibly list the correct item if it was returned from that 2 letter filter, but won't let you click on it, and in firebug says "Value is undefined"

If i do it directly in the address bar, i don't get any errors so maybe it's something to do with multiple requests?
civicrm/ajax/rest?rowCount=35&json=1&fnName=civicrm/contact/search&return[sort_name]&&s=mycontactname&limit=25&timestamp=1316474305351&sort_name=mycontactname
changing the settings in rest.js
  width: 250,
      delay:100,
      max:25,
      minChars:0,
      selectFirst: true

i.e. minChars doesn't help, though if i lower the "max" to 20 i can get results for 3 letters successfully, if i change it to 2 i can get 4!

any ideas?

thanks,
david
