Power Search Auto Complete

Re: Power Search Auto Complete

You broke rule number 1 for both pages. There are 5 lines in the example and 6 in your. Reread this rule "JSON data has to be returned from a page with no white space before the actual data starts. For this reason, all of the code before the first [ character has to be on the first line of the page template so there will be no carriage returns which are considered space.

Hmmmm, I copied it directly from your examples...

Re: Power Search Auto Complete

So if I understand correctly it needs to be:

<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="headeroutput|Content-Type|application/json" /><mvt:item name="powrsrch" param="picklist|5" /><mvt:if expr="l.settings:picklist">[<mvt:foreach iterator="pick" array="picklist"><mvt:item name="toolkit" param="json_encode|l.all_settings:pick:term|l.all_settings:pick:term" /><mvt:if expr="pos1 EQ 1">{"term": ""}<mvt:else>,{"term": ""}</mvt:if></mvt:foreach>]</mvt:if>

and

<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="headeroutput|Content-Type|application/json" /><mvt:item name="powrsrch" param="picklist|10" /><mvt:if expr="l.settings:picklist">[<mvt:foreach iterator="pick" array="picklist"><mvt:item name="toolkit" param="json_encode|l.all_settings:pick:term|l.all_settings:pick:term" /><mvt:if expr="pos1 EQ 1">{"term": ""}<mvt:else>,{"term": ""}</mvt:if></mvt:foreach>]</mvt:if>

Yes?

Re: Power Search Auto Complete

The first line in red in the SUGGEST.html page should end with the character is [
What do you see when you look at the http://www.emporiumplus.com/SUGGEST.html page? Is the [ not at the end of the first line. The other lines do not matter.

Did you get it working after you formatted it to have the [ at the end of the first line?

Re: Power Search Auto Complete

Did you get it working? If not, what is the url to the AUTO1 and AUTO2 pages in the store?

Re: Power Search Auto Complete

No I still do not have it working. I'll have to send you the URL's offlist. Are those pages supposed to generating something? If so, they are not.

Re: Power Search Auto Complete

As long as your SUGGEST test page has all the javascript and a valid link to a jquery library you should be seeing content. Is this a secret store that you can't say what the domain is? You are going to delete the SUGGEST page anyway after you have the concept working. You'll be transferring the applicable code to the SRCH page. But the easiest way to make sure it works is to setup the test environment like I have it.

Re: Power Search Auto Complete

Bill, I looked at the output of your AUTO1 / AUTO2 pages and I see that you've only got one line of "code". When I viewed the source of this site's AUTO1 and AUTO2 there are 7 lines.

I've made sure all the white space has been removed.

I've made sure the [ is the last thing on the first line - with no white space.

Not sure what else to look for.

Re: Power Search Auto Complete

Did you look in the power search forms and make sure there are actually entries in the searched database. There is a form where you can view in admin prior searches.

Re: Power Search Auto Complete

Is that the Most Popular Searches List or the Power Search Log the Power Search admin? Both are displaying results.

Re: Power Search Auto Complete

The log.

[lesliekirk]

Re: Power Search Auto Complete

The log is showing search terms.

Re: Power Search Auto Complete

Many thanks Bill. I do appreciate all of your help - now and over all these years. I'll see what Miva Support can figure out.

Re: Power Search Auto Complete

Thanks to Brennan and Bill the Auto Complete is pulling in data. One very key thing was missing &mvte:pick:term;

<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="headeroutput|Content-Type|application/json" /><mvt:item name="powrsrch" param="picklist|5" /><mvt:if expr="l.settings:picklist">[
<mvt:foreach iterator="pick" array="picklist">
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="json_encode|l.all_settings:pick:term|l.all_settings:pick:term" />
<mvt:if expr="pos1 EQ 1">{"term": "&mvte:pick:term;"}<mvt:else>,{"term": "&mvte:pick:term;"}</mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>]</mvt:if>

Now to figure out why a form type select drop down appears when I click enter/return.

Re: Power Search Auto Complete

Hi Leslie,

The appearance of a basic select dropdown sounds like missing CSS to me. Or do you mean to say it functions as expected and then when you try to submit the search it opens a dropdown instead? It would help to be able to see the feature in action - have you submitted a ticket to support for this yet? If so, can you post or PM me the ticket ID?

Thanks
