chinese

[apachesep]

Dear My language is Chinese. If I type one Chinese char only the suggestion cannot be shown. there is no error I can check on developer tool of Chrome. My version is 1.2.14

if I type english or number or both the suggestion is shown and work very well.

Could you help this issue? Thanks Martin

Dear Again I try to narrow the problem.

a. i try to verify the outcome of ajax. English / number / chinese are OK.

It means I can get objects of suggestions and query in English and Chinese onSearchComplete: function (query, suggestions) { console.log(query); console.log(suggestions); },

b. I try to format the result before it s displayed English / number OK. Chinese is not OK. It means I cannot get objects. it is .

formatResult: function (suggestion, currentValue) { console.log(suggestion); console.log(currentValue); }

Maybe it's just issue when trying to highlight result. Try providing your own formatResult function and see if you can get it to work.

Dear tkirda At first I think maybe it is the reason of highlight result. So I was trying to implment the formatResult: function (suggestion, currentValue) function by myself. from the document there are two arguments suggestion and currentValue. I cannot get any object/value from there two arguments. And then I cannot format the result by myself. I log these two arguments. [] is the outcome of suggestion. currentValue is empty.

I don't know why. Could you give me idea?

Dear tkirda

I update my status.

1. I don't provide my formatResult function. I just set triggerSelectOnValidInput to false only. Chinese is working well. Many thanks for your great script.

2. I checked the code. I found that the problem is from following codes. I make comment as well for your reference

       if (options.triggerSelectOnValidInput) {
           index = that.findSuggestionIndex(value);
           if (index !== -1) {      // Chinese get into this loop, but others don't
                 // that.suggestions array is OK
         that.select(index);
        // that.suggestions array is not OK and it is like to be disappeared
               return;
           }
       }
   

so Why Chinese words get into the if statement only? Why that.suggestions array is disappeared? These are reasons I think Chinese cannot use this script. So I set triggerSelectOnValidInput option to false. this script works

1. What the triggerSelectOnValidInput option for? May I know that. from your document I cannot know it clearly. something is confused.

I give my script information for your reference

var suggest = jQuery('#searchword').autocomplete({
    serviceUrl: '" . JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_finder&task=suggestions.suggest&format=json&tmpl=component', false) . "',
    paramName: 'q',
    minChars: 1,
    maxHeight: 400,
    width: 300,
    zIndex: 9999,
    appendTo: '#suggestions-container',
    forceFixPosition: true,
    deferRequestBy: 200,
    triggerSelectOnValidInput: false
});"

and it is the version of 1.2.16

Best Regards Martin

Martin, thanks for your comments and research.

Can you provide me those strings in Chinese, I would like to test them and resolve the issue.

[apachesep]

Dear tkirda Sure , I provide the following Chinese to you. 醫 or 醫生(English is doctor)

I used these Chinese to test my developing site. My developing site is on http://dev-tzuchi.rhcloud.com/. (This is a hospital website) You can test it with above Chinese.

Now it works since I set triggerSelectOnValidInput to false.

Just let me know If you need more help.

Best Regards Martin

我使用的是中文，输入之后，传输到后台页面的数据，是乱码？使用英文和数字，该插件运行正常。期待解答！

@HelloTonny 你该不会以为作者看得懂中文吧……

1. 传到后台的数据是乱码，你应该在后台转一下码。一般最好把前后端的编码统一成 utf8。
2. 这个插件的 ajax 用的是 jquery，如果服务器传回来的是乱码。你可以在ajaxSettings里面加上contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8" 试一下，强制使用utf-8编码。不行你就改下你服务器的编码，或者再试下gbk。

To tkirda: He is having an encoding issue, the data transmitted to his backend is all messy. Not sure it's whether a HTML problem or server-side problem, but I reckon definitely not your wrapper's problem.
