This module adds 4 autocomplete widgets.
-
Autocomplete for allowed values list: This widget can be used for List fields
and it takes candidate values from the defined list of Allowed values of the
fields. -
Autocomplete for existing field data: This widget can be used for Text only
and it takes candidate values from existing values in the database for that
field. -
Autocomplete for suggested values: This widget can be used for Text only
and it takes candidate values from a user-defined list of Suggested values. -
Autocomplete for existing field data and some node titles: This widget works
just like the "existing field data" widget above except it will also suggest
node titles for nodes of a specific content type(s). -
Autocomplete for some node titles: This widget can be used to suggest
node titles for nodes of a specific content type(s).
All these widgets allow you to choose the method used to match values: either
'Starts with' or 'Contains'.
When the Internationalization module [1] is enabled, the 'Autocomplete for
existing field data' widget also provides an option to filter values by the
language assigned to their corresponding nodes. This option allows you to
provide a different set of allowed values per language.
