Re: Cakephp Autocomplete Tutorial ajax error

It is best not to use the JS helper(s) etc.

Use just plain jQuery and it will work quite easily out of the box

See http://sandbox.dereuromark.de/sandbox/ajax_examples/ for live examples

In CakePHP, I am trying to create a autocomplete function from a textbox, using this tutorial: http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/matt_1/2011/08/07/yet_another_jquery_autocomplete_helper_2

I keep getting a

Undefined index: autoCompleteText

I solved the helper issue as it finds the helper as this is cakephp 1.X code and I have 2.X

controller - Tests
function auto_complete

class TestsController extends AppController {

public $helpers = array('Html', 'Form', 'Session','Js','AutoComplete');

 public function auto_complete() {
 $this->loadModel('Tutor');
 debug( $this->params);


    $terms = $this->Tutor->find('all', array(
        'conditions' => array(
            'Tutor.first_name LIKE' => $this->params['url']['autoCompleteText'].'%'
        ),
        'fields' => array('Tutor.first_name'),
        'limit' => 3,
        'recursive'=>-1,
    ));
    $terms = Set::Extract($terms,'{n}.Tutor.first_name');
    $this->set('terms', $terms);
    $this->layout = '';    
} 

view
 auto_complete.ctp

<?php 
echo $this->AutoComplete->input(
    'Tutor.first_name',
    array(
        'autoCompleteUrl'=>$this->Html->url( 
            array(
                'controller'=>'tests',
                'action'=>'auto_complete',
            )
        ),
        'autoCompleteRequestItem'=>'autoCompleteText',
    )
);

  if(isset($terms)) {
    echo $this->Js->object($terms);
  }

       echo $this->Form->create('');

            echo $this->Form->input('type', array('label' => 'Choose' ));
           echo $this->Form->end('send'); 

 ?>
