Re: [Semediawiki-user] autocompletion on Form: special page?

[Yaron K. <ya...@wi...>]

Hi Aaron,

The code that needs to be changed is all in the SMW file:

/specials/SearchTriple/SMW_SpecialSearchByProperty.php

You can look at an example of the use of Javascript for autocompletion here:

/specials/AskSpecial/SMW_SpecialAsk.php

That one autocompletes on property names, not property values. The SF code
includes autocompletion on property values, although there it's a little
trickier to understand because it's spread out over a few different files.
But check out the function getAllValuesForProperty() in the SF file
/includes/SF_Utils.php.
