Field type - Drop down autocomplete? was created by bestintown

Hello,
Is it possible to make a dropdown field to be autocomplete type? like exists for the categories.

I've got a really long list as a dropdown field and it would be great if the user only needed to write the first letters and the field suggested the rest.

Thanks!

Hello,

Joomla load the chosen libraries, you can try to add the 'chosen' class to the dropdown fields in your view.

Best regards.

Hello,

Sorry for the lack of details. By 'your view', I speack about the edit view of AdsManager 'components/com_adsmanager/views/edit/tmpl/default.php' or if you are using a template override 'templates/your_template/html/com_adsmanager/edit/default.php'.

Best regards.

Hello,

Sorry, it's my fault for not giving you enought details.

The lines that display the category select are those :

case 'normal':
                                JHTMLAdsmanagerCategory::displayNormalCategories($selectid ,$this->cats,$this->catid,array("root_allowed"=>$this->conf->root_allowed,"display_price"=>true),array("required"=>"","class"=>"input-large text-center"));break;
                        case 'color':
                                JHTMLAdsmanagerCategory::displayColorCategories($selectid ,$this->cats,$this->catid,array("root_allowed"=>$this->conf->root_allowed,"display_price"=>true),array("required"=>"","class"=>"input-large text-center"));break;
                        case 'combobox':
                                JHTMLAdsmanagerCategory::displayComboboxCategories($selectid ,$this->cats,$this->catid,array("root_allowed"=>$this->conf->root_allowed,"display_price"=>true),array("required"=>"","class"=>"input-large text-center"));break;
                            break;
                        case 'cascade':
                                JHTMLAdsmanagerCategory::displaySplitCategories($selectid ,$this->cats,$this->catid,array("root_allowed"=>$this->conf->root_allowed,"display_price"=>true),array("required"=>"","class"=>"input-large text-center"));break;

To add the class, you need to change those lines like this:

case 'normal':
                                JHTMLAdsmanagerCategory::displayNormalCategories($selectid ,$this->cats,$this->catid,array("root_allowed"=>$this->conf->root_allowed,"display_price"=>true),array("required"=>"","class"=>"input-large text-center chosen"));break;
                        case 'color':
                                JHTMLAdsmanagerCategory::displayColorCategories($selectid ,$this->cats,$this->catid,array("root_allowed"=>$this->conf->root_allowed,"display_price"=>true),array("required"=>"","class"=>"input-large text-center chosen"));break;
                        case 'combobox':
                                JHTMLAdsmanagerCategory::displayComboboxCategories($selectid ,$this->cats,$this->catid,array("root_allowed"=>$this->conf->root_allowed,"display_price"=>true),array("required"=>"","class"=>"input-large text-center chosen"));break;
                            break;
                        case 'cascade':
                                JHTMLAdsmanagerCategory::displaySplitCategories($selectid ,$this->cats,$this->catid,array("root_allowed"=>$this->conf->root_allowed,"display_price"=>true),array("required"=>"","class"=>"input-large text-center chosen"));break;

Best regards.
