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"}]

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?
