AJAX Autocomplete Field

[coalman]

Hey guys,

i was wondering if some could help me with my problem.

I have custom module where I can choose a related Contact from the Contact Field (AJAX field with autocomlete)

My problem is that I have too many rows with the same name.
eg:
John Doe
John Doe

I would like to ADD a phone number behind the name in this autocomplete field

John Doe - 123444
John Doe - 242442

Thank you in advice
Petr

I have never tried but I think you can do it this way:

1. Create a custom field in Studio of type text (eg: name_phone_c)

2. Add this field in the list view

3. edit the file: custom/modules//metadata/listvewdefs.php
   (in the path above change “” with the actual name of the module)
   and add the following code:

array ( 
 // this is the name of your custom field
            'name' => 'name_phone_c', 
// Use the label that you assigned when creating the field in Studio
            'label' => 'LBL_NAME_PHONE_C',
// Here you put the fields you want to concatenate (I put Last name and work phone)
            'customCode' => '{$fields.last_name.value} {$fields.phone_work.value}', 
          ),  

(you can remove my comments of course)

Then run a quick rebuild

I hope it works!

Thank you for this message!

I guess that it doesnt solve my problem, just show custom defined field in the listview.

I need to show it in the editview - like in the attached image.

Thank you in advice

Does anybody realy know how to solve it? or where can I find the file where this “name” is being loaded?

Thank you in advice

Ok I have looked into this for you, I believe the files you are looking for are:

modules/Home/quicksearchQuery.php
and
modules/Home/QuickSearch.php

If you look in quicksearchQuery.php line 42 it shows you that it will check for a custom version of QuickSearch.php in custom/modules/Home/QuickSearch.php

So what you have to do is copy modules/Home/QuickSearch.php to custom/modules/Home/QuickSearch.php

and then make any changes you want in their.

I have not gone through this file so I cant not tell you exactly how to make the change you want, that part is up to you.

You may also want to look into: include/QuickSearchDefaults.php and
include/javascript/quicksearch.js

[coalman]

Thank You!!! It is exactly what I was looking for

[geconly]

Do you happen to have the code you changed still? I’m looking to do the exact same thing.

I also need this please help

Add custom JS to your editviewdefs.php and handle the keypress events for input via jquery autocomplete. Here is an example of what i did for zip codes.

[rosetorres]

Can you share your code for this please?

[Lyk37858]

it’s almost what i need
Could you give instructions, preferably step by step, how could you do this?
This would help me and possibly other members of the community.
thanks

Here is what I did. on \custom\modules\Home\QuickSearch.php Line: 305
I added an if else statement

if ($field == “name” && isset($results[$i]->fieldchoice) && $results[$i]->fieldchoice != “”) {
$data[‘fields’][$i][$field] = $results[$i]->$field." (".$results[$i]->fieldchoice")";
} else {
$data[‘fields’][$i][$field] = $results[$i]->$field;
}

if there’s better way to do this please help.

I think the key is in these file:

include/QuickSearchDefaults.php

Thanks,

does not work for me
underlines quotation marks

this is my code from 301 line till 317
start here:

if (isset($listData[$field])) {
   $data['fields'][$i][$field] = $listData[$field];
} else {
    if (isset($results[$i]->$field)) {
        $data['fields'][$i][$field] = $results[$i]->$field;
    } else {
        $data['fields'][$i][$field] = '';
    }

this i added your code

// i added code here:
if ($field == “name” && isset($results[$i]->fieldchoice) && $results[$i]->fieldchoice != “”) {
    $data[‘fields’][$i][$field] = $results[$i]->$field." (".$results[$i]->fieldchoice")";
} else {
    $data[‘fields’][$i][$field] = $results[$i]->$field;
}

what did i wrong?
Thanks
