Archetypes autocomplete widget with support for String-, Lines- and ReferenceFields
Project description
Overview
To use this package just create a field like:
StringField('test_field',
default='',
searchable=0,
required=0,
vocabulary=DisplayList((('week', 'Week'), ('wedding','Wedding'),
('winona','Winona'), ('winter', 'Winter'),
('weather','Weather'), ('cow', 'Cow'))),
widget=AutocompleteWidget(label='Test Widget',
description='Test this',
),
enforceVocabulary=0,
),
You can also use a LinesField instead of a StringField. The widget adapts automatically. This has the advantage that you can index the field in the catalog (keyword index). Combine this with the filter_bogus property on the widget and the widget will prepare the entered values.
It’s useless without a vocabulary, and setting enforceVocabulary true doesn’t really make sense unless you use the LinesField.
Configuration
There are a few parameters that can be set to alter the behavior of the widget:
- actb_timeout: How long (ms) before the autocomplete box times
out and dissapears. (Default: 2500, -1 to disable)
- actb_lim: How many choices to show in the autocomplete box
at a time. (default: 5)
- actb_firsttext: Should the autocomplete serach be limited to the
beginning of keyword (True), or should it search the entire entry for a match (False)? (default: 0)
- actb_filter_bogus: remove keywords that are not in the vocabulary and
also remove redundant keywords, leading/trailing spaces etc.
actb_expand_onfocus: expand the dropdown on focus.
- actb_complete_on_tab: set to 0 if you want tab to move the focus to the next widget.
default is 1.
