Make views Autocomplete Filters Views work with Views 3

not yet

Any chance to get it sooner for views3?

The same here. I thing this is a great addition to the Views, but I cant get it work on Views 6.x-3.0-alpha3, with filters exposed as block...

Subscribing, i'm very much in need of this module's compatability with Views 3 as well. I'd be willing to pay someone to implement this and contribute as a patch. Anyone?

Attached a version that works for Views 3. Thanks to SchwebDesign for sponsoring.

WRONG ATTACHMENT ABOVE - use this one. Note - you will need to go into the view and select the Views Autocomplete Exposed form filter to get this to work.

Thank you! Is there any easy way to make it to work in D7?

I can confirm that the patch in #10 works for me. My use-case involves using a node reference and filtering on that.

#10 commited: http://drupalcode.org/project/views_autocomplete_filters.git/commit/80e44a7
thanks a lot for it.
i consider this done, so the next issues should be posted within the new branch/

sorry to reopen... but i don't see this as an option on any of my exposed filters.

i have tried the tar from #10 and the latest 3.x-dev (which wasn't the same as the tar; even though #13 says its committed)

and i have Views 6.x-3.0-rc3 and no luck.

Liquidcms, rather than looking for options under the exposed filters, did you try looking under "Exposed form":

• click the option for "Exposed form style" and from it choose "Views Autocomplete Filters". Once doing that you should be able to edit the "Exposed form options" and choose which fields to have the autocomplete filter for.

ahhh.. ok.. i see it now... seems like a pretty odd UI for this.. doesn't this prevent using other filter enhancement modules such as better exposed filters? i mean would someone want autocomplete for one field and checkboxes for another?

but still doesn't do anything...

perhaps just confusion with your releases? as i dont think latest -dev is latest and so maybe doesn't have this patch? will go back and try other revs

Liquidcms, i've always wondered the same thing (your question in #17). I think i recall some sort of module that allowed combining exposed form styles... but for the life of me i can not find/remember it now. Perhaps a module like this: http://drupal.org/project/aef Advanced Exposed Forms would allow for working around this?

tried on a very basic view on the same site and this is working; so some conflict within the more complex view that i have.. will try to track it down.

related node titles don't work with the Views 3 version. I'll likely look at providing a patch but possibly won't be until next week).

sorry nope.. never did get back to this.. so many projects on the go; not even sure now where it was i needed this..

#10 worked for me
in the "Exposed form" section choose "Views Autocomplete Filters" and then choose which field will have the autocomplete behavior in the exposed filter's settings
Note: that the autocomplete will search with in the DB only so if you have a select box which gets its data by code the autocomplete will not work yet

#10 mostly works for me. However, I noticed an issue where "User: Name" autocomplete does not return anything. I also tried adding a "Node: Author" relationship and using it but still nothing. (I'm user 1 so user access shouldn't be a problem)

I would totally love to see this working on Views 3. No sucess in trying the above patches...

The patched version from #10 on this issue works to a degree, though I could not get it working with node reference fields, it worked with "simple fields" such as node title.

The current latest dev version of 6.x-3.x does not work at all as far as I can tell.

More descriptive title

Checked out from git and tested in latest D6 release, but unable to make it work. Time for some debugging.

I almost got #10 working, except when I search for something it always gives me "The *keyword* return no results, please try something else"

I got a very basic view setup, start by adding a "node:title" field, then i add an exposed "node: title" filter, then I choose "Exposed form style: Views Autocomplete Filters" and in its settings I choose "Enable autocomplete for title" shouldn't it work now and give me some results??

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

@s2sz could you attach a patch so we all could see and try help out?

Patch 10 did give me the option for using auto complete again but I'm also getting 'no results' when I use it.
Funny thing is it fixed any exposed filters I had made back when I was using views 2 but I can't make new ones.

Edit: Double checked that I had the value to auto search for in place in the view and it's there.

Moving on now to test if creating the view without any other exposed filters makes a difference. Have tried having the filter exclusive to a filter group.

Edit2: Ok so no I couldn't get that working but I got around it by cloning the display I had made using views 2 that was working and then just changed things up so I got the display I needed. If you would like me to paste the view details here to see what makes it work then let me know. ( I can't tell from the code what makes it work cause I don't know code)
