Trying to use Amy Hoy''s ajaxariffic auto_complete methodology and I am getting really close to the end. This is fairly complicated but I will simplify as best I can. My view code is simple... <%= text_field_with_auto_complete ''client'', ''wholename'' %> # wholename is not a column in ''clients'' but rather represents an

Hi folks, I''m curious how a lookup with a large group of values would be handled in Rails. For example, I have a (contrived) AnimalType filtering a list of many Animals--more than can be presented comfortably in a dropdown box. Therefore I need to either redirect to another screen to select an animal (returning after the selection is made), or show a dialog--modal or otherwise--to

Hi all ! I began to develop Rails applications with Aptana Radrails under Windows. For that I had successfully installed auto_complete plugin and succeeded to use it. Now I have an iMac and I''m trying to restart my developments under OS X. My problem is: when I run the command ''script/plugin install auto_complete'', the result is: Plugin not found:

Hello All: I have set up an auto_complete search field within my application controller and application layout so that it is available to all pages in my app. I have run into a snag with this in two projects I am working on where it won''t work on one particular page related to a specific controller.

Trying to use Eric''s help and Amy Hoy''s page of playing with auto_complete and decided that the script/console is the place to rapidly test.

I have a crude hack to allow auto_complete to work with indexed text fields. I needed it for a timecard entry form with an arbtirary number of records which can be added/changed/delete willy-nilly by users. One of the fields is a perfect candidate for autocomplete since it references a database object with a large number of choices and long descriptions. Using a select list is extremely ugly in

Hi, Im looking for a way to autocomplete a text field, I have found this, http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToUseAdvancedAutocompleteFeatures but at the top it says "Note that there?s easier ways to do this built into newer versions of Rails, this was written in the early days of the framework. If I get a chance, maybe I?ll update." Any ideas where i can find some info on

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial on visual effects in rails? I''ve searched and I''ve asked but I can''t seem to find any good documentation on ajax visual effects, combining of effects, or queued effects.

I think I may have found a bug with the auto_complete feature in rails: My controller has a before_filter with an except clause preventing the filter from running on a specific action. The action renders a view with a text_field_with_auto_complete field. Much to my suprise, the filter appears to run when I type data into this field! The filter is part of my security regime, so I end up with a

I''m using the auto_complete plugin, and it works great, my problem is i need to pass multiple parameters to the controller other that what is typed in the text field. <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :search, :contains, :size => 15, :frequency => 0.1, :skip_style => true -%> This is what i have as of now, but i also need to pass ":language => @default"

Hi folks, Thanks to the community feedback on the 1st version, I''ve come up with a much improved version of the acts_as_taggable mixin.

Hey guys, I have the newest installed Ruby Gems 1.4. I can''t run the scriptaculous auto complete because it cant find auto_complete_for method. However, I have the auto_complete.rb file in my Rails directory and it has the method inside. Why is not found? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello All, I''m a RoR newbiew, trying to experiment with Autocomplete, but I''m having some difficulties.

Here are the steps I''ve taken

I need to pass a parameter in my text_field_with_auto_complete and am struggling to discover how to do this. I have something like this: <%= text_field_with_auto_complete ''user'', ''username'', {}, {:with => "''post=''@company_title.id"} %> but because it is in a partial that pops as a result from a remote_function_tag, I am
