The Autocompleter at CFV5.0.2 works fine or have some bug?

I make a simple example and it says "Loading Failed..."

return json_encode(array("Option1","Option2","Option3"));

Hi Austre,

I haven't used this action recently. If you look in your web browser developer tools you should be able to see what is being returned and use that info to debug. In Chrome it shows up on the Network tab I think.

Hi,

See images below!

Hi Austre,

The bottom image is close but it shows what is being sent *to* the server. Please check the Response and/or Preview tabs to see what is being sent back *from* the server.

Bob

I forget to say before, tab Preview and Response are empty.

"Failed to load response data"

Hi Austre,

OK - I spotted something else. You have an Authenticator action in the reProjecto event. I think that will always fail as this is a direct Ajax call from the browser so has no connection with the current user. Please try putting the Custom Code action directly in the parent event without the Authenticator.

Bob

Bob,

Same behavior.

Hi Austre,

Just checking - you do have <?php ?> tags in the Custom Code action?

Bob

Morning Bob,

My Custom Code have <?php ?> tags, looks like:

<?php
return json_encode(array("Option1","Option2","Option3"));
?>

Hi Austre,

That's how it should be - just checking all the possibilities. By all means email or PM me the site URL, the form name, and a SuperAdmin login and I'll take a quick look.

Bob

I got something diferent now.

I created a test form with this configuration:

[attachment=0]joomla05.JPG[/attachment]
[attachment=1]joomla06.JPG[/attachment]
[attachment=2]joomla07.JPG[/attachment]

<?php
$search = JRequest::getString('natureza', '', 'get');
$return = "";

if($search!="" && strlen($search)>2){
	$lstNatureza = array();
	$sql = "select CODTB1FAT as id, DESCRICAO as value from TTB1 where LEN(CODTB1FAT) = 8 and INATIVO = 0 and TTB1.DESCRICAO like '%".$search."%'";
	$conn = mssql_connect("myServer", "myUser", "myPass");
	$bco = mssql_select_db("myDB", $conn);
	$result = mssql_query($sql,$conn);
	
	while($row=mssql_fetch_array($result,MSSQL_ASSOC)){
		$row["value"] = utf8_encode($row["value"]);
		$lstNatureza[] = $row;
	}
	
	$return = json_encode($lstNatureza);
}

//return json_encode(array("Option1","Option2","Option3"));
echo $return;
?>

With this new cenario, i have the situation on browser. No more Loading Failed, but field keep spinning and no values appears:

I'm looking the Demo Autocomplete and got something...
Making some tests...
😲

Finally it works.

Now i'm asking myself why visual style got diferent:

Hi Austre,

Good to see that you got this working. The styling looks as though different CSS is being applied. You can check with your browser Web Developer tools.

Bob

Yeah,

I'm trying to identify that, but no success yet.
Still working on it.
😲

I got it.

When Autocomplete comes before HTML (Render Form), that situation with visual style occurs, but when it comes after, no problems.

Anyway, i'm in doubts cause at Demo Autocompleter, the Autocompleter comes before HTML (Render Form) and we have no problems, neither with another configurations (before/after HTML (Render Form), before/after Load CSS...)

I'll post my complete code and images later here to help someone else.
