Hey, recent upgrade to 3.4.8 from 3.3.6 and having a trouble with the crmAutocomplete function. Used to work with 3.3.6. This setup is something Xavier helped me figured out and it's detailed in Floss manuals here:

http://en.flossmanuals.net/civicrm/ch066_api/

Code: [Select]

$('#current_employer').crmAutocomplete.....

What I'm expecting to happen is that the results of the autocomplete are clickable, but results are not clickable (note that you must be logged in for the crmAutocomplete to show at all, but logins are free and available to create one)
Here's the live page:
https://www.nonprofitoregon.org/civicrm/event/register?id=125&reset=1

Quote

Error: value is undefined
Source File: https://www.nonprofitoregon.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages/jquery/plugins/jquery.autocomplete.js?0
Line: 414

This is the line producing the error:

Code: [Select]

		return value.replace(new RegExp("(?![^&;]+;)(?!<[^<>]*)(" + term.replace(/([\^\$\(\)\[\]\{\}\*\.\+\?\|\\])/gi, "\\$1") + ")(?![^<>]*>)(?![^&;]+;)", "gi"), "<strong>$1</strong>");

This is the code actually included on the page.

Code: [Select]

        <script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/all/modules/civicrm/js/rest.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  $('#current_employer').crmAutocomplete({params:{contact_type:'Organization'}});
});

</script>

Any ideas what changed recently with rest.js? It's not a permissions issue, the user I am logged in as has all CiviCRM permissions.

Thanks!

It might be something that needs to use v2 api (or be updated to v3 in some way) - you may be able to add 'version' => 2 to the API call

In 3.4 it will probably default to using v3 api

That's a clue ... and a good theory - thanks. Any idea what the syntax for that might look like? I don't see any clues there in the documentation. I guess I could email Xavier.

Try editing

$('#current_employer').crmAutocomplete({params:{contact_type:'Organization'}});

To

$('#current_employer').crmAutocomplete({params:{contact_type:'Organization'}{version:2}});

Hmm - I just guessed at the syntax - looks like it goes inside the curlies

Thanks for the link, unfortunately I still don't understand the syntax. I hope you enjoyed that JSON documentation page as much as I did, "it can be used in the language with no muss or fuss" it was just the sort of a surreal bit of humor that I need at nearly midnight local time for me. I tried several different variations of where to put 'version:2' with no good results.

Seeing that we're operating under the assumption that using API v2 would solve the problem anyway, I don't need to ask you for any more of your time. I'll email Xavier. Thanks.

Thanks for the code. Unfortunately this doesn't change the behavior of the autocomplete, it still doesn't work.

Here is the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAXEfqtSJhw&feature=youtu.be

Code: [Select]

        <script type="text/javascript" src="/sites/all/modules/civicrm/js/rest.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  $('#current_employer').crmAutocomplete(
    {params:
      {contact_type:'Organization'
      ,version:2
    }
  }); 
});

</script>

I understand this is the holiday season and it is difficult to work. if you have more ideas, please post. I'm going to record a video of it in action. Maybe I have misconfigured it or don't understand, but the code has changed little and all of the sudden after upgrade doesn't work. I'll turn off Autocomplete until we can discuss again and find a solution.

Thanks very much!

Ah, anyway time to switch to version 3 api on crmAutocomplete and give some love to this feature too.

Could you give me the url, so I can check directly?

The URL:

Hi,

I don't know what was the problem before (probably a different one, they like to stack upon each other, don't they?)

Anyway, now the issue is that an anonymous user can't access the rest interface (obviously, you don't want having anonymous getting access to your list of contacts).

https://www.nonprofitoregon.org/civicrm/ajax/rest?rowCount=35&json=1&fnName=civicrm/contact/search&contact_type=Organization&version=2&return[sort_name]&return[email]&&s=g&limit=25&timestamp=1329242805035&sort_name=g

On the 4 branch we have introduced a new access AJAX API that makes it easier to punch a hole into it and allow anonymous to only get the list of organisations

The solution I can think of right now if to write a simple module that implement /custom/ajax/org is a wrap up around CRM_Utils_REST::ajax accessible to anonymous and forces the parameters to be contact.get & organisations
