How about amending the autocomplete results to (eg)
Title (Author, Date) | nid
?
AFAIK it was Dries who said 'we should never use nids or other database specific keys in our frontend'.
You misunderstand. The nid part is the field value for autocomplete.
But then you have the nid value there in the form, instead of the text, which sounds ok, until you answer a phone call while entering, and forget what you were up to, and wonder what 23897 actually stands for again.
ARGH Can people who haven't actually developed autocompleting forms now *STOP* talking? The nid value wouldn't appear in the UI. But it *MUST* be the field value and therefore it must be sent. You make a request. It's returned in two parts, value and description. I mentioned 'nid' as the VALUE. Then I clarified what I meant. Now it won't bloody go away. -- ------------------------------------------- John Handelaar E john@handelaar.org T +353 21 427 9033 M +353 85 748 3790 http://handelaar.org ------------------------------------------- Work in progress: http://dev.vocalvoter.com -------------------------------------------
