V7 Admin intelligent search without pressing Enter

[minadreapta]

Hello,

 

i recently upgraded WHMCS to v7 and the Intelligent Search from the admin header are is not working anymore. It only works if i press enter.

The one in the Client Profile dropdown works thou without pressing enter key.

 

I tried the solutions from here: https://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?106674-Admin-Area-Intelligent-Search-While-Typing&highlight=intelligent+search

it didn't work.

 

i tried reuploading the admin files but that didn't help.

 

any ideea what should i do to make the header Intelligent search work?

 

thanks.

in fairness, that solution was for v6 - v7 doesn't even use head.js any more, so it's no surprise it didn't work.

it would work if you added the code from that thread into header.tpl - either directly in the template or using an action hook...

 

<?php

function admin_searchbar_hook($vars) {

   $head_return = '<script>
   /* Intelligent Search On Typing */
   $(document).ready(function(){
   $("#intellisearchval").on("keyup", function() {
       $("#intellisearchval").css("background-image","url(\'images/loading.gif\')");
       $.post("search.php", $("#frmintellisearch").serialize(),
       function(data){
           $("#searchresultsscroller").html(data);
           $("#searchresults").slideDown("slow",function(){
                   $("#intellisearchval").css("background-image","url(\'images/icons/search.png\')");
               });
       });
   });
});</script>';
   return $head_return;
}
add_hook("AdminAreaHeadOutput",1,"admin_searchbar_hook");

thanks Brian, adding that js snippet into header.tpl did the trick.

 

"v7 doesn't even use head.js any more, so it's no surprise it didn't work." - well, the search form is still there, isn't it? in a fresh whmcs v7 installation.

bear in mind that if you've added it directly to the template, the WHMCS Automatic Updater might remove it during a future update - if you've used the hook method, it won't matter.

the code from head.js still exists - it's just that it's incorporated into script.min.js now.
