Isn't it a small world....
This is from something I did, No change in the controller but I've
modified the below views, the key is to set the user id as the id of the
<li> tag in autocomplet, and then have
a 'user_id' input and a touch of javascritpt in the send view to update
the id field, then set the 'afterUpdateElement' option in
$ajax->autocomplete()
autocomplete.thtml:
<ul>
<?php foreach($users as $user): ?>
<li id="<?php echo $user['User']['id']; ?>"><?php echo
$user['User']['username'].' ('.$user['User']['fname'].'
'.$user['User']['lname'].')'; ?></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
send.thtml:
<form action="<?php echo $html->url('/messages/send'); ?>" method="post">
<?php echo $html->input('Message/user_id'); ?>
<script type= 'text/javascript'>
function getSelectionId(text, li) {
alert(li.id);
document.getElementById('MessageUserId').value=li.id;
}
</script>
<?php echo $ajax->autocomplete('Message/user','/contacts/autocomplete',
array('size' => 40,
'afterUpdateElement'=>'getSelectionId'
)
);
?>
<?php echo $html->textarea('Message/message', array('cols' => '60',
'rows' => '10')); ?>
<div class="submit">
<?php echo $html->submit('Send');?>
</div>
</form>
