    using AutoComplete with inline razor/uQuery

    Am trying to use AutoComplete and grab some data from it
    currently trying to use some inline razor/uquery to achieve this

    <umbraco:Macro runat="server" language="cshtml">
    @using uComponents.Core
    @using uComponents.Core.uQueryExtensions
    @using System.Linq
    
@{
    umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node currentNode = uQuery.GetCurrentNode();
    List<umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node> myNodes = uQuery.GetNodesByCsv(currentNode.GetProperty<string>("autoContent"));
}
    
</umbraco:Macro>

    doesn't give me any output... tried currentNode.GetProperty<string>("autoContent"); but also empty... should I just use xslt instead?

    Hi Tim,

    Your code looks correct, currentNode.GetProperty<string>("autoContent") should return a csv list of selected IDs as stored by the AutoComplete datatype (should the property alias be "autoComplete" instead of "autoContent" ? just a wild guess).

    Hi Tim,

    Hopefully this isn't a silly answer, but just added a loop to render the output.

    <umbraco:Macro runat="server" language="cshtml">
    @using System.Linq
    @using umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory
    @using uComponents.Core
    @using uComponents.Core.uQueryExtensions

    @{
      Node currentNode = uQuery.GetCurrentNode();
      List<Node> myNodes = uQuery.GetNodesByCsv(currentNode.GetProperty<string>("autoContent"));

      // Render the output
      <ul>
      @foreach (Node n in myNodes)
      {
        <li><a href="@n.Url">@n.Name</a></li>
      }
      </ul>
    }

    </umbraco:Macro>

    If the values of the currentNode.GetProperty<string>("autoContent") are empty and the property exists, then best to check that the datatype is saving the values, in which case this SQL might be helpful:

    /* property values for a given datatypeId and contentNodeId */

    DECLARE @dataTypeId AS INT
    SET @dataTypeId = 1001

    DECLARE @contentNodeId AS INT
    SET @contentNodeId = 1002

    SELECT * 
    FROM cmsPropertyType A
    LEFT OUTER JOIN cmsPropertyData B ON A.id = B.propertyTypeId
    WHERE A.dataTypeId = @dataTypeId
    AND B.contentNodeId = @contentNodeId

    HTH,

    Hendy

    Hah, what a novel idea that I should render the output :)
    yep, that's cleared things up.... sorry, I'm a complete novice when it comes to uQuery/razor etc c# sort of things. it makes sense now.
