Really strange CJuiAutoComplete Behavior

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

So I am really struggling with this one. I just don’t understand what is going on at all.

I am using the CJuiAutoComplete. Normally this works quite well this way, maybe I am just screwing something up.

Code in views/group/view.php




<?php 

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

	'name'=>'firstname',

	'value'=>'Name',

	'source'=>$this->createUrl('contacts/auto'),

	// additional javascript options for the autocomplete plugin

	'options'=>array(

			'showAnim'=>'fold',

	),

));

?>

Code in ContactsController.php




public function actionAuto() {

	$res =array();


	if (isset($_GET['term'])) {

		// http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/database.dao

		$qtxt ="SELECT firstname FROM {{Contacts}} WHERE firstname LIKE :firstname";

		$command =Yii::app()->db->createCommand($qtxt);

		$command->bindValue(":firstname", '%'.$_GET['term'].'%', PDO::PARAM_STR);

		$res =$command->queryColumn();

	}


	echo CJSON::encode($res);

	Yii::app()->end();

}

Now here is where it gets weird. If I change the the function to anything other than actionAuto() it simple no longer works. I have no idea why.

Any ideas?

Solved.

Access rules are a pain in the butt.
