CJuiAutoComplete has no extraParams?

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

I’m looking to send some extra parameters form my form along with the autocomplete. So the data sent isn’t just based on the text typed but a previously set value also.

I notice the old CAutoComplete has an “extraParams” field but CJuiAutoComplete doesn’t.

Is there a new way of doing this or does anyone know of a way to do it?

I basically want to append extra data form other fields to the backend search.

this can be a starting point

in the view




<?php 


echo CHtml::dropDownList('dr',null,array('se', 'sel2', 'Item3'));


$this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiAutoComplete', array(

	    'name'=>'test1',

	    'options'=>array(

			'search'=>"js:function(){alert('teste');

			

			$('#test1').autocomplete({

					source : 'http://localhost/kmcms/site/autocomplete?newparam=' + $('#dr :selected').text()

			});


			

			}"

			

	    ),

	));

?>

in the site controller




public function actionAutoComplete(){

$newparam = CHttpRequest::getParam('newparam',null);

//...do the rest

}

regards!
