I had to modify eautocomplete action class
public function run()
{
if(isset($this->model) && isset($this->attribute)) {
$criteria = new CDbCriteria();
$criteria->compare($this->attribute, $_GET['term'], true);
if ($this->model == "SugarContacts") {
if($this->attribute == "name"){ //used on invoices
$criteria->select = "*, CONCAT(t.first_name, ' ', t.last_name) AS name";
$criteria->condition = "(CONCAT(t.first_name, ' ' , t.last_name) LIKE :ycp0 || accounts.name LIKE :ycp0) and length(t.id)<8"; //use id length to grab nav contacts
$criteria->join = " join sugarcrm6.accounts_contacts on t.id = sugarcrm6.accounts_contacts.contact_id" .
" join sugarcrm6.accounts on sugarcrm6.accounts_contacts.account_id = sugarcrm6.accounts.id"; // join tables to include company name in search
}
else
$criteria->addSearchCondition('last_name', $_GET['term'], true,"OR");
}
$model = new $this->model;
// print_r($model);
// print_r($criteria);
//exit();
foreach($model->findAll($criteria) as $m)
{
if ($this->model == "SugarContacts") {
if($this->attribute == "name"){ //used on invoices
$this->results[] = array(
//'label'=>trim($m->{$this->attribute}),
'value'=>trim($m->{$this->attribute}) . " " . " : " . trim($m->sugarAccountsContacts1->sugarAccounts->billing_address_street),
'id'=>$m->primaryKey
);
}else{
$this->results[] = array(
//'label'=>trim($m->{$this->attribute}),
'value'=>trim($m->{$this->attribute}) . " " . trim($m->last_name) . " : " . trim($m->primary_address_street),
'id'=>$m->primaryKey
);
}
}else{
$this->results[] = array(
'value'=>trim($m->{$this->attribute}),
'id'=>$m->primaryKey
);
}
}
}
if ($this->model != "SugarContacts" && !is_a($model,"Bids")) {
$this->results = array_unique($this->results);
}
echo CJSON::encode($this->results);
}
