callback on initSelection

[Brad Lilly]

Hi There,

A bit stuck on using a callback on initSelection where I need to retrieve a single value back from an ajax call.

I added this patch here.

https://github.com/alanho/select2/commit/af1c39807611538db65886a227e9bf7227f4adba

All seems OK and I get a valid JSON response (below) however the <span> tag is empty.

{"results":[{"id":"4255","text":"Party Tour"}]}


I was working off the sample in the above url for a result.

My code sample is below. Any help would be appreciated.

$('#activitycats').select2({
        placeholder: 'Search for an activity',
        ajax: {
            url: "/ajax/categoriesactivities.php",
            dataType: 'json',
            quietMillis: 100,
            data: function (term, page) {
                return {
                    term: term, //search term
                    page_limit: 10 // page size
                };
            },
            results: function (data, page) {
                return { results: data.results };
            }

        },
        initSelection: function(element, callback) {
            return $.getJSON("/ajax/categoriesactivities.php?id=" + (element.val()), null, function(data) {
                if ($.isFunction(callback)) {
                    return data;
                }
            });
        }

    });

you need to return just the array portion, no need for the "results" key.

Thanks Igor I  tried that as below. Still no luck.

[{"id":"4255","text":"Party Tour"}]

[Igor Vaynberg]

this part is also wrong:

if ($.isFunction(callback)) {
return data;
}

should instead be

callback(data);

Thanks Igor tried that as well and not working for me. Quite tired now and off for some sleep. But if you have any more ideas I would welcome them. A fresh start in the morning might give me results.

Thanks Igor a bit of sleep did the trick. I still had an array of values and after running firebug worked out the problem.
Needed it as below without []
{"id":"4252","text":"Abseiling"}

I did see some people asking for PHP examples of server side did you want some of these?

 The issue you’re facing with Select2’s initSelection is similar to ensuring data renders correctly when pulled from dynamic sources. Platforms like thefameplanet show how properly structured and mapped JSON can display cleanly once processed. Likewise, your callback must correctly translate the returned {id, text} pair so the <span> element reflects the selected value without remaining empty.

  I've been really impressed with the quality and variety available at Gander Mountain products. Whether you're looking for camping essentials, hunting gear, or just reliable outdoor equipment, they have such a great selection. I recently picked up some items for a weekend trip and everything held up perfectly. It's nice to find a place that truly understands what outdoor enthusiasts need!
