Autocomplete backends

These are best called using a view url of the following format
%SCRIPTURLPATH{"view"}%/%SYSTEMWEB%/JQueryAjaxHelper?contenttype=text/plain;skin=text;section=<backend>;<parameters>

You could also make use of Foswiki:Extensions/RenderPlugin to implement any of the below backends in a more flexible way. Note, that jquery.autocomplete will always add a q url param to the end of this string.

Topic selector

Url parameters

  • q: search term substring typed so far
  • limit: number of search results to return, defaults to 10
  • baseweb: the web where to search for topics
  • format: format of returned values, defaults to $topic
  • exclude: exclude expression to filter out unwanted topics

Implementation

%STARTSECTION{"topic"}%%SEARCH{
  "^%URLPARAM{"q" default="does not exist"}%.*"
  type="regex"
  scope="topic"
  format="<nop>%URLPARAM{"format" default="$topic"}%"
  separator="$n"
  limit="%URLPARAM{"limit" default="10"}%"
  nonoise="on"
  excludetopic="%URLPARAM{"exclude"}%"
  web="%URLPARAM{"baseweb" default="%BASEWEB%"}%"
}%%ENDSECTION{"topic"}%

Web selector

Needs Foswik:Extensions/FlexWebListPlugin

Url parameters

  • q: search term substring typed so far
  • limit: number of search results to return, defaults to 10

Implementation

%STARTSECTION{"web"}%%FLEXWEBLIST{
  include="%URLPARAM{"q" default="does not exist"}%.*"
  exclude="%URLPARAM{"exclude"}%"
  limit="%URLPARAM{"limit" default="10"}%"
  format="<nop>$web"
  separator="$n"
  subheader="$n"
}%%ENDSECTION{"web"}%

User and Group selector

Url parameters

  • q: search term substring typed so far
  • limit: number of search results to return, defaults to 10

Implementation (SEARCH-based)

%STARTSECTION{"user"}%%SEARCH{
   "^%URLPARAM{"q" default="does not exist"}%.*"
   type="regex"
   scope="topic"
   format="$percntUSERINFO{\"$topic\" format=\"<nop>$dollarwikiname|$dollaremails|$percntFORMFIELD{\"Photo\" topic=\"$web.$topic\" default=\"%PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/JQueryPlugin/plugins/ifixpng/images/pixel.gif\" alttext=\"%PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/JQueryPlugin/plugins/ifixpng/images/pixel.gif\"}$percnt$n\"}$percnt"
   separator=""
   limit="%URLPARAM{"limit" default="10"}%"
   nonoise="on"
   web="%USERSWEB%"
}%%ENDSECTION{"user"}%

Implementation (DBQUERY-based)

%STARTSECTION{"user_fast"}%%DBQUERY{
   "uc(topic) =~ uc('^%URLPARAM{"q" default="does not exist"}%')"
   format="$percntUSERINFO{\"$topic\" format=\"<nop>$dollarwikiname|$dollaremails|$expand(Photo or '%PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/JQueryPlugin/plugins/ifixpng/images/pixel.gif')$n\"}$percnt"
   separator=""
   limit="%URLPARAM{"limit" default="10"}%"
   web="%USERSWEB%"
}%%ENDSECTION{"user_fast"}%
