Comment (by robhudson):
A couple notes after trying to get this to work on an existing project...
1. This definitely needs documentation on how to enable these widgets. I
took what seemed like the obvious approach and tried adding the
`MultipleAutocompleteWidget` to an existing m2m field and got an error
that the `__init__` takes 2 arguments and only 1 was given. After
perusing the source I see it takes a settings dict so I passed in an empty
one that seemed to make it happy. Personally I think an empty dict should
be a default along with default settings so the user only has to override
via:
{{{
formfield_overrides = {
models.ManyToManyField: {'widget': MultipleAutocompleteWidget}
}
}}}
2. It looks like the jquery-ui.min.js isn't loaded anywhere. I get an
error in the console that `$.widget` is not a function. If I add jquery-
ui to the list of inner class `Media` it moves me past this error to
another one...
3. `(void 0) is undefined` on line 15 of jquery-ui.js, which is the `$.ui
= $.ui || {};` line. This is about where I stopped. I tried changing
jquery-ui to load `django.jQuery` rather than `jQuery` as a test and still
got the error. Not sure about this one.
Hope that feedback helps some. I'm happy to continue trying and poking at
this.
