Didn't get to it today, but didn't forget about it either. I am looking
for the simplest possible implementation of your use case.

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);
}
}

Hi Cameron,
I tried to set up a testsite yesterday evening, but I ran out of time
(mostly because I did not do much Dojo so far). I will keep looking
into this and file a bug if I can confirm it.
Will use your examples if possible to set it up and confirm the bug.
While you are at it, could you evaluate a patch I provided for the dojo
checkbox? It is Issue ZF-4274, you can download patches there.
Regards,

I'm really stumped with this one, it flat
out doesn't work
in anything like the way you'd expect / want it to, and I can't find a
single piece of documentation on this anywhere. I'm not even talking
about dependent dropdowns here, all I am trying to do is get
$form->populate to correctly work in my Edit action when I'm using a
FilteringSelect that uses a store instead of setMultiOptions. Note,
this exact same form works just fine (and submits the ID value
correctly) from the New action, the ONLY thing that fails is the
populate method, everything else works perfectly.
Let's get in to the code. I've trimmed the unimportant parts.
EDIT ACTION IN THE CONTROLLER:
public function editAction() {
$form = $this->getForm();
$id = (int)$this->_request->getParam('id', 0);
$form->setAction("/$this->_class/edit/id/$id")
->setMethod('post')
->setName('editform')
->setElementsBelongTo('editform');
if ($this->_request->isPost()) {
//SAVE RECORD
$formData = $this->_request->getPost();
$formData['id'] = (int) $id;
$model = $this->getModel();
if (true === $model->update($formData)) {
//SAVE SUCCESS
$this->_redirect("/$this->_class/display/id/$id");
} else {
//SAVE FAILURE, RETURN AND EDIT AGAIN
$form->populate($formData);
}
} else {
//INITIAL LOAD, GET VALUES AND POPULATE
$model = $this->getModel();
$job = $model->get($id);
$form->populate($job);
}
$this->view->form = $form;
}
ADDELEMENT METHOD FROM THE FORM CLASS
$this->addElement('FilteringSelect', 'fk_client_id', array(
'label' => 'Client:',
'store' => 'clientStore',
'autoComplete' => 'false',
'hasDownArrow' => 'true',
'id' => 'fk_client_id',
));
_javascript_ THAT CREATES THE STORE
dojo.declare("ClientReadStore", dojox.data.QueryReadStore, {
fetch:function (request) {
request.serverQuery = { autocomplete:1, str:request.query.name
};
return this.inherited("fetch", arguments);
}
});
JSON FORMAT THE STORE RETURNS
(this is a long story, I had to rewrite
Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_AutoCompleteDojo because it doesn't work,
as has been noted by others, but the end result is that it now outputs
this JSON, and it works)
({"identifier":"key","items":[
{"label":"aaaaaaaa","name":"aaaaaaaa","key":1},
{"label":"bbbbbbb","name":"bbbbbbb","key":2},
{"label":"vvvvvvvvv","name":"vvvvvvvvv","key":3},
{"label":"ffffffff","name":"ffffffff","key":4},
{"label":"ddddddd","name":"ddddddd","key":5}
{"label":"sssssssss","name":"sssssssss","key":7},
{"label":"rrrrrrrrrr","name":"rrrrrrrrrr","key":8},
{"label":"jjjjjjjjjjjj","name":"jjjjjjjjjjjj","key":9}
]})
EDIT ACTION VIEW SCRIPT
<? Zend_Dojo_View_Helper_Dojo::setUseDeclarative();?>
<div dojoType="ClientReadStore" jsId="clientStore"
url=""
requestMethod="get"></div>
<? echo $this->form; ?>
As you can see, this is all pretty basic stuff, and follows (as far as
I can piece together) the best practices for doing this sort of thing.
Now. Here's the debugging information I've managed to coax out so far.
If you call print_r($this->form-getValues()) in the View script, it
returns this:
Array
( [editform] => Array ( [fk_client_id] => 484
[fk_client_contact_id] => 459 [position] => CIVIL ENGINEER
[quantity] => 1 [start] => ASAP? [duration] => 3 - 4 MTHS INIT
[rate] => NEG [charge] => [experience] => MPD JV. DESIGN
EARTHWORKS, DRAINAGE, ROADS. STOCK YARD. [notes] => [comment] =>
COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT [contractor] => UNKNOWN [filled] =>
2002-04-10 00:00:00 [fk_agency_id] => 0 )
)
So as you can see, the variable we're working on here (fk_client_id) is
being correctly populated in the view. However, when we do the same
thing on the form from the Dojo side, we get an entirely different
result.
If you call alert(dojo.toJson(dijit.byId("editform").getValues())); in
order to dump out the contents of the form, we get...
{"editform[fk_client_id]":"","editform[fk_client_contact_id]":"","editform[position]":"CIVIL
ENGINEER","editform[quantity]":"1","editform[start]":"ASAP?","editform[duration]":"3
- 4 MTHS
INIT","editform[rate]":"NEG","editform[charge]":"","editform[experience]":"MPD
JV. DESIGN EARTHWORKS, DRAINAGE, ROADS. STOCK
YARD.","editform[notes]":"","editform[comment]":"COMMENT COMMENT
COMMENT","editform[contractor]":"UNKNOWN","editform[filled]":undefined,"editform[fk_agency_id]":"","editform[save]":"Save"}
As you can see, the fk_client_id field is empty. SO. Is this a bug? Or
am I doing something horribly wrong? <rant> Or am I supposed to
be building some JS to... I'm not even sure any more, the closest I can
get to making the form do anything at all has been
dijit.byId("fk_client_id").setValue('<?=$this->form-getValue('fk_client_id'))?>');,
but all that does is put the ID in the drop down, which certainly isn't
what we want. Am I meant to use the ID, write an ajax call to go grab
the name value associated with that ID, then set THAT as the value?
Even that isn't going to work correctly because the dijit form setValue
doesn't support a key=>value pair, so it'll just submit the text
version, which I suppose I could convert back to the id in my
controller, but goddamn it if that is the ONLY way to make this work
then I'm packing up and going home, because that's an impossibly ugly
hack, and having to write that would make my skin crawl.</rant>
If anyone has any ideas at all on how to make this work, or can point
me to some documentation, please, let me know. I'm stumped. I promise,
just as soon as I work this whole thing out, I will post a giant-ass
tutorial on it so that no one ever has to suffer again.
