Can't get autocomplete to work?

Here is a solution that work for us.

First check in the logs error if there something like this:
PHP Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in libraries/joomla/filter/input.php on line 233, referer: http://yoursite/uddeim?task=new

In this case,
you have to edit the file /components/com_uddeim/uddeim.php

It use a class native of Joomla call JFilterInput Here is the problem. In the version of Joomla 3.5 you have to iniciate the class with the object, it isn´t static class. In this case use a method call clean(). So in the file uddeim.php you edit and force that dont use this method, is not necessary.

So you edit /components/com_uddeim/uddeim.php
Replace this in line 2668
if (class_exists('JFilterInput'))
$input = JFilterInput::clean($input, 'username');
else
$input = (string) preg_replace( '/[\x00-\x1F\x7F<>"\'%&]/', '', $input );

to:
// if (class_exists('JFilterInput')) {
if (false) {
// $input = JFilterInput::clean($input, 'username');
$input = new JFilterInput;
$input->clean($input, 'username');
}
else {
$input = (string) preg_replace( '/[\x00-\x1F\x7F<>"\'%&]/', '', $input );
}

let it commented the above code because of a change of version may be able to put it back as it was originally

And in the line 2835 approximately repeat the same.


good luck

Thanks for reporting!

Hi Slabbi

Thankyou for the quick fix, the error is now gone, though I still don't see the list appear, and I think that is the previous problem with z-index or something like that...
