So you don't have to recreate it, the Autocomplete Helper is as follows. It's a cut and paste of the work some other wonderful gentleman did, and I turned off the validator because i was lazy.
class Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_AutoCompleteDojoNew extends
Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_AutoComplete_Abstract
{
public function validateData($data)
{
return true;
}
public function prepareAutoCompletion($data, $keepLayouts = false) {
$items = array();
foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
$items[] = array('label' => $value, 'name' => $value, 'key' =>
$key);
}
$final = array(
'identifier' => 'key',
'items' => $items,
);
return $this->encodeJson($final, $keepLayouts);
}
}
