Integrating Autocomplete For Relevanssi with Toolset WP-Views

Hi, I work with Toolset Types and Views, I can create a custom search box using Views and recently Viwes integrated with Relevanssi.

I tried to use also Autocomplete For Relevanssi but it doesn’t work with Views search box.

The problem is that Views doesn’t use the standard WP <input type=”search” name=”s”> field, it uses <input type=”text” name=”wpv_post_search”>.

Another problem is that Views uses AJAX so I need a funtion to callback.

I fixed the problem customizing your plugin code to:

function wpv_autocomplete() {

        if (document.getElementsByName("wpv_post_search").length != 0 ) {
            var searchInputs = document.getElementsByName("wpv_post_search");

        } else {
            var searchInputs = document.getElementsByName("s");
        }

        for(var i = 0; i < searchInputs.length; i++) {
            var awesomplete = new Awesomplete(searchInputs[i]);
            awesomplete.list = ["<?php echo $iwords_list; ?>"];
            awesomplete.minChars = <?php echo $afr_min_chars; ?>;
            awesomplete.maxItems = <?php echo $afr_max_suggestions; ?>;
        }
}
wpv_autocomplete();

So now it works on wpv_post_search and I can also call the function wpv_autocomplete().

It would be great if you could integrate your plugin with Views by default in the next release.

thanks
