Question

I’ve been trying to figure this out for a few days now. Could someone more experienced that I take a look and tell me what I’m doing wrong.

This is built in symfony 1.4, with the help of sfProtoculousPlugin for input_auto_complete_tag.

My template:

    <?php echo input_auto_complete_tag(
      'tag', /*id_of_field*/
      '', /*default_value_of_field*/
      'tag/autocomplete', /*url_to_ajax_script*/
      array('autocomplete' => 'off'), /*array_with_extra_tag_attributes*/
      array('use_style' => 'true') /*array_with_options*/
      ) ?>

      <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Tag me!" />
  ...

  </form>

Added to the top of my routing.yml:

      tag_autocomplete:
        url:   /tag_autocomplete
        param: { module: tag, action: autocomplete }

Created templates/autocompleteSuccess.php:

      <ul>
        <?php foreach ($tags as $tag): ?>
          <li><?php echo $tag ?></li>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
      </ul>

Added this action to the modules/tag/actions/action.class.php file:

      public function executeAutocomplete(sfWebRequest $request)
      {
        $this->tags = QuestionTag::getTagsForUserLike(
        $this->getUser()->getGuardUser()->getId(),
        $this->getRequestParameter('tag'),
        10
        );
      }

Added this method to the QuestionTag.class.php file:

      public static function getTagsForUserLike($user_id, $tag, $max = 10) 
      {
          $tags = Doctrine_Query::create()
          ->select('qt.tag')
          ->from('QuestionTag qt')
          ->where('qt.user_id = ?', $user_id)
          ->andWhere("qt.tag LIKE '%".$tag."%'")
          ->orderBy('qt.tag')
          ->limit($max)
          ->fetchArray();

        return $tags;
      }

Here is the generated js code:

    //<![CDATA[
    new Ajax.Autocompleter('tag', 'tag_auto_complete', '/frontend_dev.php/tag_autocomplete', {});
    //]]> 

In my Firebug console, I get the following error:

    Ajax is not defined
    [Break On This Error]   

    ...ax.Autocompleter('tag', 'tag_auto_complete', '/frontend_dev.php/tag_autocomplete...

I tried the following command, that supposedly copies the ‘assets’ (js scripts) to my /web folder. It seems to have worked for some, but not for me.

   ./symfony plugin:publish-assets sfProtoculousPlugin

I feel like I’m almost there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Update 1

In my /web/sfProtoculousPlugin folder I have:

   css /
        input_auto_complete_tag.css
    js/
        builder.js
        controls.js
        dragdrop.js
        effects.js
        index.html
        prototype.js
        scriptaculous.js
        slider.js
        sound.js
        unittest.js

Also, I don’t see a <script> tag with prototype.js inside.

SOLVED

Added this to the app settings.yml:

    all:
      .settings:
        prototype_web_dir:      /sfProtoculousPlugin

and this to the app view.yml:

    javascripts:    [%SF_PROTOTYPE_WEB_DIR%/js/prototype, %SF_PROTOTYPE_WEB_DIR%/js/scriptaculous]

Then I ran ./symfony cc and refreshed the page. It now works perfectly as I intended. Thanks j0k for your help.
