DB Join element autocomplete - only suggest please

[stausen]

Hi,
I'm not able to disable the automatic set value in my db join element witch works fine but it should give only the suggestions by typing... it shouldn't set the value automaticly when only one suggest leaves.

Hope somebody could help me!

Best regards!

We can't change the default behavior at this point, as that would affect everyone who wants it to work like that. So it would require adding an option to the settings, and modifying the code to allow either behavior. That's about an hour's work, as nothing to do with how JavaScript menus and AJAX processing works is entirely simple.

Hi,
ok I understand. Perhaps you could tell me where or how I can disable this auto update function.
In \plugins\fabrik_element\databasejoin\databasejoin.php at line 1069 I commented the line out. Now it only suggest without updating the field but it suggest all values in the dropdown.

OK, I remembered we already actually have that as an option built into the autocomplete class in JavaScript, we just never actually use it anywhere. So I added it as a configurable global option (Fabrik global options, in the Javascript tab, in the same place you can set the minimum trigger characters, and number of rows in the dropdown), which will control that behavior for all autocompletes (not just join elements, but anywhere we do any autocompletion).

You'll need to do a full github update.

If you wanted to do it on a per join element basis, you'd probably need to take out a Pro sub for a month, to cover the cost of coding that up.

Wow,

Thanks a lot!
