Keyword Autocomplete: Update to D6

lol I'm sure it won't be that hard... I've gotten quite used to the process updating Ubercart. ; )

Will postpone while I nail down a couple more administrative features, but I'll get it to D6 as soon as I can.

Happy day, patch is here. Drupalcon is a good place to do work. :D

How do we apply this patch?
Do I install the 5.x version first, then edit the .module file and replace the code with this?

Any help would be great!

This patch affects the .info, .install, and the .module files. The easiest thing would be to use the Linux patch program on the Drupal 5.x version.

I noticed there was a problem in hook_uninstall(). It would have tried to install the database tables again. Rerolled the patch.

Subscribing, will try patch. Hopefully someone will commit :)

*delete, doublepost

Edit: It works as expected. Great patch.

Would be great to see it commited

everything looks fine - will there be an official dev version?

thanks momper

Subscribing...

I am trying to apply the above patches (tried both #3 and #6 patches above to 5.x-1.x-dev), got the
results below:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
patch < d6_port.patch
patching file keyword_autocomplete.info
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file keyword_autocomplete.info.rej
patching file keyword_autocomplete.install
patching file keyword_autocomplete.module
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I placed the patch to the same directory as keyword_autocomplete, and give the patch command.

Is there anything I am doing wrong here ????

Thanks

Thanks Midkemia, I edited by hand and it works now!!!

One question is about overall usability related. There is a related module "Search Autocomplete".
It seems to be no activity for quite long time. It seems from possible functionality options, from suggestions to sorting..., Search Autocomplete seems to be quite a hard task to get it right and useful.
Is this the reason there is no activity so far in Drupal about search autocomplete ? We see this functionality in large number of sites. Is it too much of a task to merge this functionality with Keyword Autocomplete ? From usability perspective, would Keyword Autocomplete be even better than Search Autocomplete after certain period of user entries are collected, as these will be real search keywords entered by real users, instead of a search algorithm trying to predict which combination of keywords should be presented in which sorting order.

If you can confirm this, then Keyword Autocomplete might be the best way to go.

Thanks

If you are running the patch from the keyword_autocomplete directory, you need to tell it to remove the CVS path information first:

patch -p5 < d6_port.patch

This tells it to look for keyword_autocomplete.info (.module, etc.) in the current directory instead of /cvs/drupal-contrib/contributions/modules/keyword_autocomplete, which probably doesn't exist on your machine.

So, the patch actually needed a little bit of work to add an update function. I'm guessing no one's really tried to patch/update from D5 but has just installed this on new D6 installs. : ?

In any event, I got this taken care of real quick... puttin' it up as a beta until someone else verifies it's workin'.
