I believe I found a partial answer:
In my teams controller I placed:
class TeamsController < ApplicationController
skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token, :only =>
[:auto_complete_for_team_name]
def auto_complete_for_team_name()
team_name = params[:team][:name]
@teams = Team.find(:all, :conditions => ['name LIKE ?', "%" +
team_name + "%"])
render :partial => 'teamname'
end
def virtual_matchups
end
In my virtual_matchups.html.erb file I placed as a test:
<h1> Test Virtual Matchups </h1>
<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :team, :name ,{}, :skip_style => false
%>
I created a partial for teamname:
<ul>
<% for team in @teams do %>
<li>
<div>
<%=h team.name %>
</div>
</li>
<% end %>
</ul>
In my routing file I placed:
map.virtual_matchups '/virtual_matchups', :controller => 'teams',
:action => 'virtual_matchups'
I restarted the server and the autocomplete works for this page, but I
haven't tried it with a form.
My thoughts on this are it was very cumbersome to get it to work. I had
to go through several different sites, put together all the pieces of
the puzzle before it finally worked.
I have no idea why I had to use the skip_before_filter but without it,
it would not autocomplete.
Can someone please look over the fixes I provided and if you have
knowledge of autocomplete let me know if there is a simpler way of
getting it to work, and/or what I need to do to polish up the code I
created thus far to get it to work?
I will need two fields and a submit button that performs a query to the
same controller but to a different action that will render a completely
different partial containing information.
Many thanks in advance.
