I included an autocomplete widget inside my view which initially(first page load) works fine and i make an ajax call to update the CListView inside my main page and thats where my autocomplete doesnt show completions(the input box is there but when the user type no suggestion is loaded)..i have seen a lot of issue about using renderPartial and ajax calls not working...anyone with a good solution or please suggest me..
here is my main view that is being refreshed by ajaxcall on the same page..
<div id="top" class="row-fluid" style="margin:0 30 auto 30; ;width:100%;">
<?php
?>
<div id="messages" style="width:35%!important;float:left;margin-left:100px;margin- right:20px!important;position:relative; overflow: hidden;">
<?php
$this->renderPartial('ajaxindex',array('dataProvider'=>$dataProvider),false,true);
?>
<!--end of portlet"-->
</div>
<!--end of messages-->
<div id="nav-panel" class="portlet" style="float:left!important;
width:40%!important;border:1px;box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888;" >
<div class="panel panel-success portlet-decoration">
<!-- Default panel contents -->
<div class="panel-heading">
Filtering Panel >> Rwanda
</div>
</div>
<table class="table table-condensed">
<tr>
<th>Province</th>
<th>Critical</th>
<th>Attention</th>
<th>Normal</th>
<th>Nothing</th>
<th>error</th>
<th>count</th>
</tr>
<?php
$i=1;
$countNothing=0;
$countNormal=0;
$countAttention=0;
$countCritical=0;
$countError=0;
$countAll=0;
foreach($messagesByProvinces as $messagesByProvince){
$province=Province::Model()->findByPk($i);
$provinceParams=null;
$messageParams=null;
$critical=0;
$attention=0;
$normal=0;
$nothing=0;
$error=0;
$count=count($messagesByProvince);
foreach($messagesByProvince as $message){
$countAll++;
if($message->indice==0){
$nothing++;
$countNothing++;
}
elseif($message->indice==1){
$normal++;
$countNormal++;
}
elseif($message->indice==2){
$attention++;
$countAttention++;
}
elseif($message->indice==3){
$critical++;
$countCritical++;
}
else {
$error++;
$countError++;
}
}
if($filter!==null){
$provinceParams=array('message/getProvincereport','id'=>$province->id,'start_date'=>$filter['start_date'],'end_date'=>$filter['end_date']);
$messageParams=array('message/LoadMessages','province_id'=>$province->id,'start_date'=>$filter['start_date'],'end_date'=>$filter['end_date']);
}
else {
$provinceParams=array('message/getProvincereport','id'=>$province->id);
$messageParams=array('message/LoadMessages','province_id'=>$province->id);
}
echo "<tr><td>".CHtml::link($province->name,$provinceParams)."</td>
<td><span class='badge badge-important'>".CHtml::ajaxLink($critical,$this->associate('indice',3,$messageParams),array('update'=>'#messages','success'=>'js:function(data){
var $response=$(data);
var newData=$response.find(".container-fluid").html();
$("#messages").html(newData);
} '))."</span></td>";
Here is the view that is rendered in renderPartial
<script>
function showInput(id){
if(document.getElementById('message-body-'+id).style.display=='block')
document.getElementById('message-body-'+id).style.display='none';
else
document.getElementById('message-body-'+id).style.display='block';
;
}
</script>
<?php
/* @var $this MessageController */
/* @var $dataProvider CActiveDataProvider */
?>
<div id="portlet-messages" class="portlet" style="float:left!important;
width:100% !important;max-height:450px;overflow:auto;
overflow-x:hidden;" >
<div class="panel panel-primary portlet-decoration">

here is the method that is called through the ajax call to update the message div in the main page posted at the begining of the code..
public function actionLoadmessages()
{ $criteria=$this->getCriteria();
if(isset($_REQUEST['indice'])){
$criteria->addCondition('indice=:ind');
$criteria->params['ind']=$_REQUEST['indice'];
}
$dataProvider=new CActiveDataProvider('Message',array('criteria'=>$criteria));
$this->layout=null;
$this->render('ajaxindex',array('dataProvider'=>$dataProvider));
}
You should apply post processing of javascript after the ajax call otherwise some javascript functions will not work ..
Your render call should be something like this
$this->renderPartial('ajaxindex',array('dataProvider'=>$dataProvider),false,true);
Refer this page for more info http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CController#renderPartial-detail
You should also use renderPartial if updating a div only, render will call layout files as well.
