CONTENTS OF THIS FILE --------------------- * Introduction * Requirements * Installation * Configuration * FAQ * Maintainers INTRODUCTION ------------ The Autocomplete Deluxe module is an enhanced autocomplete element that uses the JQuery UI autocomplete. It will also implement a widget for taxonomy. This module does not require any 3rd party jQuery libraries. * For a full description of the module visit https://www.drupal.org/project/autocomplete_deluxe * To submit bug reports and feature suggestions, or to track changes visit https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/autocomplete_deluxe REQUIREMENTS ------------ This module requires no modules outside of Drupal core. INSTALLATION ------------ Install the Autocomplete Deluxe module as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module. Visit https://drupal.org/documentation/install/modules-themes/modules-7 for further information. CONFIGURATION ------------- To set up a field named Tags which uses an Autocomplete Deluxe widget to set values for that field from the Tags taxonomy, do the following: * Navigate to Administration > Modules and enable the Autocomplete Deluxe module. * Navigate to Administration > Structure > Content types and select manage fields of the content type you wish to edit. * Add a new field of "Term reference" named "Tags". Select the Widget Type "Autocomplete Deluxe" in the drop down menu. Save. * Select the Tags vocabulary. Save field settings. * Customize or keep the default Autocomplete Deluxe settings for the field. Save settings. Now when new content is added the Tags widget allows editors to enter existing tags as well as create new ones. FAQ --- Q: Can I use the Autocomplete Deluxe widget as a Views exposed filter? A: Why yes, yes you can! First, add the field as a traditional exposed Autocomplete filter in your view. Then, create a custom module (see https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/creating-custom-modules if you have never written a module before), where your .module file contains something like the following: ``` function MY_MODULE_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) { if ($form_id == 'views_exposed_form' && $form_state['view']->name == '<my view name>') { $form['<my field machine name>_tid'] = array( '#type' => 'autocomplete_deluxe', '#autocomplete_deluxe_path' => url('autocomplete_deluxe/taxonomy/<my field machine name>', array('absolute' => TRUE)), '#multiple' => TRUE, '#autocomplete_min_length' => 0, '#autocomplete_multiple_delimiter' => ',', '#not_found_message' => "The term '@term' will be added.", ); } } ``` So if you have a view with the machine name 'list_articles', and you want to provide an exposed Autocomplete Deluxe filter for a field with the machine name 'field_term_ref', the code becomes: ``` function MY_MODULE_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) { if ($form_id == 'views_exposed_form' && $form_state['view']->name == 'list_articles') { $form['field_term_ref_tid'] = array( '#type' => 'autocomplete_deluxe', '#autocomplete_deluxe_path' => url( 'autocomplete_deluxe/taxonomy/field_term_ref', array('absolute' => TRUE) ), '#multiple' => TRUE, '#autocomplete_min_length' => 0, '#autocomplete_multiple_delimiter' => ',', '#not_found_message' => "The term '@term' will be added.", ); } } ``` MAINTAINERS ----------- Current maintainers: * Edward Chan (edwardchiapet) - https://www.drupal.org/u/edwardchiapet * Lee Nakamura (LNakamura) - https://www.drupal.org/u/lnakamura Active support and ongoing development by Mediacurrent - http://www.mediacurrent.com/ For additional information, see the project page on Drupal.org <https://www.drupal.org/project/autocomplete_deluxe>
