CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

The Book here http://en.flossmanuals.net/civicrm/ch066_api/ has this code:

{if $session->get('userID') > 0}

<script type="text/javascript" src="../{$config->resourceBase}js/rest.js"></script>{literal}
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  $('#current_employer').crmAutocomplete({params:{contact_type:'Organization'}});
});
</script>
{/literal}

{/if}
but on my Drupal 7 CiviCRM 4.2.3 site (after I remove ../ from the src value as that is a mistake) it tries to load

/civicrm/ajax/rest?rowCount=35&json=1&entity=Contact&action=quicksearch&sequential=1&params[contact_type]=Organization&s=cs&limit=25&timestamp=1351018925485&name=XXX

and the response is

{"IP":"84.229.119.193","level":"security","referer":"","reason":"Destructive HTTP GET","is_error":1,"error_message":
"SECURITY: All requests that modify the database must be http POST, not GET."}
Does anyone know why this is happening?

Issue CRM-11136 - crmAutocomplete Doesn't Work has been successfully created

So has the action been changed to getquick?  Does not seem to work with REST.

Ok ... here is what is happening - looks like something is broken:

using the API explorer, this works fine:
/civicrm/ajax/rest?entity=Contact&action=getquick&debug=1&sequential=1&json=1&name=test

if I select REST API and add keys (which do authenticate) i get this error:

{
"is_error": 1,
"error_message": "API (,getquick) does not exist (join the API team and implement it!)"
}

If I select REST and use action=quicksearch I get this error:
"level": "security",
"referer": "",
"reason": "Destructive HTTP GET",
"is_error": 1,
"error_message": "SECURITY: All requests that modify the database must be http POST, not GET."
}
