Hi, I've noticed that CakePHP has an autoComplete helper, but I'm
having trouble figuring out how to make it work for my application:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/632/autoComplete
I have 3 controllers:
PracticeItems
PracticeInstances
PracticeSessions
A PracticeSession will have 1 or more PracticeInstances
A PracticeInstance has 1 PracticeItem
I'm working on the add method for PracticeSessions.
This form should start with 4 fields:
PracticeItem.0.name (this one is autocomplete)
PracticeInstance.0.timeminutes
PracticeInstance.0.tempostart
PracticeInstance.0.tempofinish
It shouldn't be hard to add a button that will generate another 4
fields with the value 0 incremented accordingly. My problem is that
autoComplete() accepts its argument as "ModelName.FieldName". I can't
use the notation with a number in the middle.
This means when I get back $this->data I have something like:
Array
(
[PracticeItem] => Array
(
[name] => Another Test Item
)
[PracticeInstance] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[timeminutes] => 20
[tempostart] => 100
[tempofinish] => 120
)
)
)
But what I want is
Array
(
[PracticeItem] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[name] => Another Test Item
)
)
[PracticeInstance] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[timeminutes] => 20
[tempostart] => 100
[tempofinish] => 120
)
)
)
This would be trivial for a single entry, but as I'll be adding more
form fields on the fly, I'm not sure how it will work if I can't say
$ajax->autoComplete('PracticeItem.n.name', '/practice_items/
autoComplete')
I'm thinking I could add an extra parameter to the autoComplete
function, but since it's built in, I'm not sure how to go about this.
