Overview

To use this package just create a field like:

System Message: WARNING/2 (<string>, line 6)

Literal block expected; none found.

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.

Credits

The javascript used is based on the widget at http://codeproject.com/jscript/jsactb.asp by zichun and used with permission.

The improved_multivalued_fields_management branch which has become the new trunk of this package was started by Quadra Informatique <plone at quadra-informatique dot fr>.
