[SOLVED] $("#search_query").autocomplete is not a function break at extraParams:{ajaxSearch:1,id_lang:1}

[BillyD]

Hi All,

Love the help so far on this forum :-)

I get the same error as solved in "http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/43585/#241844" but only in my index page.

I have added an extra hook to a top navbar that has a working search with autocomplete on all other pages except the index page!

I have added a specific line to point to the jscript in the header.tpl:-

[script type="text/javascript" src="{$content_dir}js/jquery/jquery.autocomplete.js"][/script]

I have read the other previous posts on the subject: I am not running the v1.1 theme compatibility and my blocksearch.tpl file contains the simplified "extraParams:{ajaxSearch:1,id_lang:1}" line.

I am a newbie to this environment - using the standard Quick block search 1.0, firebug, Net Beans, Windows Grep, Win Merge MySQL Front and the smarty debug module but just not getting it - any help or tips on tools welcome?

Meanwhile I will go off and install another fresh version of presta and try to debug where my error is coming from.

Well I have the same problem. I tried everything. I also don't use v1.1 compatibility. The problem is only on the home page. In all the other pages it just works.

I get the following message in firebug. If there is a solution to this could anyone please help.

make sure the block search is hooked to the "Header" in Modules->Position, if it's not, transplant it over there...

[gleb]

I tried that also and I think the OP also did that too from what I understand. I tried every solution in posted in the forums editing the header.tpl adding $cookie but the problem is still there. I think about turning ajaxsearch off. That way my customers will not see an error.

[tomerg3]

The error is showing because the autocomplete.js file is not included...

If it is hooked to the header, it should be there, unless you are hooking the wrong module... (blocksearch)

To BillyD.

It think I know what your problem is.

Try adding this in header.tpl The code you have is with [ ] instead of <>

This doesn't work for me but it might work for you.

TomerG. I also positioned the searchblock to header in BO but it doesn't work. I also tried it with the standard prestashop template but the same problem shows up.

Ok my problem is solved. I don't know what the problem was but I uninstalled the blocksearch module. Deleted the folder blocksearch from my server.

Then I downloaded prestashop 1.2.5(my installation also is 1.2.5) copied the blocksearch module to my server and installed it in BO.

I am using Minimaliste theme. When I think back I had to overwrite some files in the blocksearch to install my theme and I think that was the cause of this problem.

Thanks TomerG. Your post made me realize something in my blocksearch module was not right.

Gleb, as you can see adding the [ brackets stopped my code being removed :-) . I have tried replacing the blocksearch module previously but will try again tonight. I thought my problem was probably to do with me using my own hook?

i want ask about ajax serach and search in BO. when i put numer in BO search E1234 show my produkt with name/reference e1234 when i put 1234 result is the same ( show me product E1234) . when im in FO and put 1234 in ajax serach dont have result with this product who have name/reference E1234.

is it a problem with regular expressions??

somebody repair and have idea why in BO working good but in FO not :

[BillyD]

Thanks Gleb I found my problem by going back to basics too. I uninstalled homefeaturedslide, a module I found on the Forum, from my fornt page and my search now works.

Now working with both modules but only after I re-pointed to the jquery.autocomplete.js after s3Slider.js
