autocomplete text field with HABTM association - PLEASE HELP
can anyone help me work this functionality out? I actually have 3 classes each with a HABTM relationships with each other but right now I am just trying to get one to work. I have 2 models, ''employees'' and ''practices'' (healthcare field), and would like to have a text field on the ''employees'' new and edit views so the practice(s) this employee belongs to can be added. I have the linking table employees_practices created successfully and the HABTM associations created in the models (to each other). I have installed the plugin: script/plugin install git://github.com/rails/auto_complete.git - as it is no longer included in rails 2.3.8. I have included the <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> in the application.html.erb ((so its available throughout the app)) I have included <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :practice, :name %> in my _form for ''employees'' I have added auto_complete_for :practice, :name to my employee controller i normally get some variety of ''method undefined..etc'' or some other variation no matter what i do. couple things: I did not create a new search controller as I am trying to add this text field to the existing views for ''employee'' generated when I used nifty_scaffold to create employee. Also I feel like at least some of my issue is definitely in the controller, I don''t think just adding auto_complete_for :practice, :name to the controller should work. I have tried all sorts of methods and can''t get it to work. I would like to actually be able to list multiple ''practices'' in the field separated by commas (something about using a token? can anyone walk me through this? help with the controller? everything else look right?
