[django boonman]

hi guys,

is it possible to increase the number of visible entries (default 10)
in an autocomplete list?

Yes! There are two settings involved:

1) js/autocomplete.js - Where the YAHOO.widget.AutoComplete class is instantiated, you should be able to increase the maximum number of results (maxResultsDisplayed).

2) autocompleteAction.class.php - Look at the first lines of code in the execute method:

if (!isset($request->limit))

{

  $request->limit = sfConfig::get('app_hits_per_page');

}

You may want to create a new Qubit setting just for the number of results in autocomplete widgets. It makes sense to me since hits_per_page (default value 10) is used for searches.

Regards,

I found it, the number of visible entries in the autocomplete lists is
set in the /vendor/yui/autocomplete/autocomplete.js file. But make
sure to change it also in the autocomplete-min.js file because the
autocomplete-min.js file is the one that is actually used by Ica-AtoM.

I am sorry but that what you are saying is very wrong. The vendor files are not intended to be modified.

If you want to redefine the default value for the property maxResultsDisplayed, you should do that in our project file js/autocomplete.js.

In this example I set the value to 12345:

Index: js/autocomplete.js

Hi there!

The problem was that the limit was harcoded in the action code. I have done a few fixes that will help you:

Hi Jesus,

I read the whole thread and I couldnt get it to work. I need to change
the max results of subjectAccessPoints, placeAccessPoints and
nameAccessPoints, all of them showed in this URL: /index.php/;add/isad

I added a line in js/autocomplete.js, exactly at the same place where
you added it in your example. I configured it to multiple values (e.g.
20), all of them > 10.

I configured the nine "autocompleteAction.class.php" files I've found,
replacing "$request->limit = sfConfig::get('app_hits_per_page');" by,
e.g.,  "$request->limit = 20 ". I already know it's not necesary to
change all of them, but I did it anyway.

I even tried changing the original file "/vendor/yui/autocomplete/
autocomplete-min.js":
YAHOO.widget.AutoComplete.prototype.maxResultsDisplayed = 20;

I also changed "global_settings_hits_per_page" to 20... but... got
nothing but 10 results.

I deleted the cache a thousend times, I refreshed my browser time and
time again and... I'm still getting 10 results top. I'm my database I
have much more "places", "subjects" and "names" than 10...

Thanks for your help.
