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

1 Mar 2008

      It seemed indeed to have to do with the path.
By the way on mediawiki there's still a "," in front of the path code.
And uhhh, hmmm, blush... I forgot to enable ajax :)
Now I put $wgUseAjax = true;
and it's working :)
Thx. Now we can test the real stuf :)

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
