Question

$this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiAutoComplete', array(
'name'=>'test1',
'value'=>'test21',
'source'=>$this->createUrl('jui/autocompleteTest'),
// additional javascript options for the autocomplete plugin
'options'=>array(
        'showAnim'=>'fold',
),
));

I am new to Yii framework.

i am working on autocomplete but not able to understand the code given above, what does createUrl mean?

do we need to create a page by User or that line itself creates that?

Please help me on this.

Here’s the complete Reference code

$this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiAutoComplete', array(
//'model'=>$model,
//'attribute'=>'name',
'id'=>'country-chain',
'name'=>'country_chain',
'source'=>$this->createUrl('request/suggestCountry'),
'options'=>array(
    'delay'=>300,
    'minLength'=>2,
    'showAnim'=>'fold',
    'select'=>"js:function(event, ui) {
        $('#label').val(ui.item.label);
        $('#code').val(ui.item.code);
        $('#call_code').val(ui.item.call_code);
    }"
),
'htmlOptions'=>array(
    'size'=>'40'
),
));

Sorry Friend,

Here goes the the structure

Model Name : Details

controller name is – DetailsController

Under Views > details > _form.php

    <div class="form"> <?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'details-form',
'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,)); ?>

<p class="note">Fields with <span class="required">*</span> are required.</p>

<?php echo $form->errorSummary($model); ?>

<div class="row">
    <?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'id'); ?>


    <?php echo $form->textField($model,'id'); ?>
    <?php echo $form->error($model,'id'); ?>
</div>

<div class="row">
    <?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'name'); ?>
    <?php $this->widget('CAutoComplete',
      array(
                     //name of the html field that will be generated
         'name'=>'name', 
                   //replace controller/action with real ids
         'url'=>array('DetailsController/AutoCompleteLookup'), 
         'max'=>10, //specifies the max number of items to display

                     //specifies the number of chars that must be entered 
                     //before autocomplete initiates a lookup

         ));    ?>
            <?php echo $form->error($model,'name'); ?>
</div>

<div class="row">
    <?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'phone'); ?>
    <?php echo $form->textField($model,'phone'); ?>
    <?php echo $form->error($model,'phone'); ?>
</div>

<div class="row">
    <?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'email'); ?>
    <?php echo $form->textField($model,'email'); ?>
    <?php echo $form->error($model,'email'); ?>
</div>

<div class="row buttons">
    <?php echo CHtml::submitButton($model->isNewRecord ? 'Create' : 'Save'); ?>
</div><?php $this->endWidget(); ?> </div><!-- form -->

'value'=>'test21',
'source'=>$this->createUrl('Your Contoller Name / your function Name'),
// additional javascript options for the autocomplete plugin
