Re: [Mediawiki-l] Ajax Search Suggest (my first extension)

1 Mar 2008

      Now that I have it sort of working... I'm testing in Safari and  
Firefox both on a mac.
I see the suggestions in the area under the search box, which I think  
is what the code is doing.  This would be nicer as a drop-down menu  
from the search box.
The suggestions that come up for me are weird.  For example I type x  
and get page titles that don't have x in them!
puzzling.  I think the sql query looks reasonable based on the  
extension code.

I made the changes on the code at mediawiki.org.
In general, I might wait to trigger the search until more characters
have been entered.  1 seems like overkill; how useful will the
suggestions be when you type 'e'?
In Firefox, the browser's autocomplete tries to run, and sits on top
of what the extension is doing.  I wonder if that can be suppressed.

I'm having similar problems.  I think there's a path problem in
setting the header, and the js file isn't loading. Playing with it
now.

Hmmm... Im not sure why that is.
In the javascript file, do you see the ss_ajax_onload function??

Adam,
Excellent! I only don't get it working for some reason...
There's an error "ss_ajax_onload is not defined" if I look in the
script
errors... Any idea? I use MW1.10

I just finished my first extension. It needs work I know, but
perhaps
anyone looking for something like this can use it and let me know
what
it needs.
It is a very lightweight search suggestion. (under 5k). When
typing
into the search box, articles containing those letters or word
will
be
displayed under the search bar.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this work.
If you would like to help make this better, I would really love
any
help.
I would like to be able to select what you want to choose using
the
arrow keys.
Also, I could easily make the suggestions links so anyone could
just
click on them.
