Hi,

i am writing a tutorial for theming the autocomplete output for both finder 1.x and 2.x.

So i did a clean install to make sure i get everything right. As a matter of fact, i can´t use node_load($option->nid); in the theme_finder_autocomplete_suggestion. This is very strange, $option->field_name is there. I tried to dsm() $option without luck.

Anyone with the same problem ?

Can you double check which version you have installed?

Hi,

it´s Drupal 6.22 and Finder 6.x-1.17.
http://www.johnstestserver.de/d6f1/finder/cool_finder/

The ouput is 4 lines:

function theme_finder_autocomplete_suggestion($option, $finder_element) {
  
   //load the node object !
$node = node_load($option->nid);    
   //start a div container
  $output  = '<div>';
   // the title
  $output .= '<br>node-title:'.$node->title;
    //the nid
    $output .= '<br>node-nid:'.$node->nid;
   //the title as in option
     $output .= '<br>option field name:'.$option->field_name ;
   //the nid as in option	
  $output .= '<br>option nid:'.$option->nid.'<br>';
    //close the surrounding div
  $output .= '</div>';

  return $output;
  
  
}

If i use $node = node_load(7); i get the correct results for node/7. So there lies the problem. I tried to switch back to a working 1.10 from another installation but no luck. Very weird.

Ok, i now managed to give out $option, look like:

finder_field_1 (String, 30 characters ) first test page 1 first page 1
field_name (String, 14 characters ) finder_field_1
display_field (String, 14 characters ) finder_field_1

I don't seem to have any troubles with $option->nid (or more correctly $option->{$option->base_field})

I tried to dsm() $option without luck.

Try dpm() - you should see the output after a page refresh. See my tips here; http://drupal.org/node/1342234

I get some output like this:

... (Object) stdClass

nid (String, 2 characters ) 10
node_title (String, 12 characters ) A story node
node_language (String, 2 characters ) en
finder_field_1 (String, 12 characters ) A story node
base_table (String, 4 characters ) node
base_field (String, 3 characters ) nid
set (String, 0 characters )
field_name (String, 14 characters ) finder_field_1
display_field (String, 14 characters ) finder_field_1

Krumo version 0.2a | http://krumo.sourceforge.net Called from /home/braksato/public_html/drupal6/themes/garland/template.php, line 107

If you continue to have trouble with this, post an export of your finder. Perhaps there is a bug specific to your configuration?

Wasn't sure whether to open a new issue or not as the description would have been almost identical - apologies if I should have.

I'm trying to theme the autocomplete suggestions and have realised that $option doesn't seem to contain any nid information (for a node finder), meaning I can't do a node_load.

Here's my theme function:

function mytheme_finder_autocomplete_suggestion($option, $finder_element) {
  dpm($option);
  return $option->{$option->display_field};
}

When I refresh the page after using the autocomplete, Devel outputs the following information about option:

(Object) stdClass
finder_field_1_matched (String, 1 characters ) 1
finder_field_1 (String, 10 characters ) test title
field_name (String, 14 characters ) finder_field_1
display_field (String, 19 characters ) finder_field_1_safe
finder_field_1_safe (String, 10 characters ) test title

Any pointers on how I could grab the node and therefore the other fields would be amazing.

Thanks!

Oops, should probably have changed it to a bug report considering the theming guide at http://drupal.org/node/1342234 no longer works.

2nd paragraph of the theming guide states 'views finder'... you said 'node finder'....

Ah thank you very much for pointing that out, danielb! It all works perfectly with a views finder. I've updated the theming guide to make this clearer in case other people make the same mistake as me.
