There is very good example of CJuiAutocomplete with multiple JSON variable at www.eha.ee/labs/yiiplay/index.php/en/site/widget?view=autocomplete . There is no need to add 'methodChain'. default CJuiAutocomplete has option to support multiple variables. Remember your JSON return should be in this format:

[{"key1":"value1", "key2":"value2"},{"key3":"value3","key4":"value4"}]

Thanks for the discussion

<?php echo $form->hiddenField($model,'user_id'); ?>


in _form.php i did following:

//this line is important.
<?php echo $form->hiddenField($model,'user_id'); ?>

$this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiAutoComplete', array(
    'name'=>'username',
    
    'source'=>$this->createUrl('jui/autocompleteTest'),
    // additional javascript options for the autocomplete plugin
    'options'=>array(
        'showAnim'=>'fold',
        'select'=>"js:function(event, ui) {
                                          $('#user_id').val(ui.item.id); 
                                        }" //note #user_id
    ),
    'cssFile'=>false,
));

in JuiController.php i did following in actionAutocompleteTest():

$arr = array();
foreach($models as $model) {
    $arr[] = array(
        'label'=>$model->some_attr,  // label for dropdown list          
        'value'=>$model->some_attr,  // value for input field          
        'id'=>$model->id,            // return value from autocomplete
        );      
}
echo CJSON::encode($arr);

And you can do without a controller

$this->widget(
    'zii.widgets.jui.CJuiAutoComplete',
    array(
        'model' => $model,
        'attribute' => '{attribute}',
        'source' => array_keys(CHtml::listData($model->findAll(array('select' => '{attribute}')), '{attribute}', '{attribute}')),
        'options' => array(
            'minLength' => '2',
        )       
    )
);

Is there a way to submit to the same model/action with query params ?

I need to select a name, but submit an Id....

It's so difficult

Hi, that worked very well for me. I made an addition and maybe someone may find it useful.

    'options'=>array(
        'showAnim'=>'fold',
        'select'=>"js:function(event, ui) {
                                          $('#User_user_id').val(ui.item.id);
                                        }",
        'change'=>"js:function(event, ui) {
                                          if (!ui.item) {
                                             $('#User_user_id').val('');
                                          }
                                        }",
    ),

The idea is that if the user changes the value, I delete the the id. For example, if there is a user called 'John Smith' with an Id = 24, the widget will return the id if 'John Smith' is selected from the list, but if is changed to 'John Smithson', then the Id will come blank.

I am still testing it but it has worked so far

I tried with the previous example but i'm getting the values and it is coming up with id in alertbox as well..when i checked the network inspector in chrome..values are coming up fine. but the values are not being visible.

you can see my full code in here:

        <div class="row">
        <?php echo $form->labelEx($typeModel,'benefit_type'); ?>
        <?php
         
         $this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiAutoComplete', array(
        		'model'=>$model,
        		'attribute'=>'name',
        		'source'=>$this->createUrl('benefit/benefit_type_list'),
        		// additional javascript options for the autocomplete plugin
        		'options'=>array(
        				'showAnim'=>'fold',
        				'select'=>"js:function(event, ui) {
                                          $('#User_user_id').val(ui.item.id);
                                        }"
        		),
        		'cssFile'=>false,
        ));
    ?>
        
        <?php echo $form->error($typeModel,'benefit_type'); ?>
    </div>

I tried both the ways but output is same values are not being displayed..

    <div class="row">
        <?php echo $form->labelEx($typeModel,'benefit_type'); ?>
        <?php
    $this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiAutoComplete', array(
    'attribute'=>'name',
    'model'=>$typeModel,
    'sourceUrl'=>array('benefit/benefit_type_list'),
    'value'=>'Please select',
    'name'=>'name',
    'id'=>'id',
    'options'=>array(
'showAnim'=>'fold',
        'minLength'=>'0',
         'select'=>"js:function(event, ui) {
     alert(ui.item.id);
                                        // $('#BenefitType_benefit_type_id').val(ui.item.id);
                                        }",
    ),
'cssFile'=>false,

    'htmlOptions'=>array(
'id'=>'id',
    'size'=>25,
    'maxlength'=>25,
    ),
    )); ?>
      
        <?php echo $form->error($typeModel,'benefit_type'); ?>
    </div>
