OpenCart may be free but I have spent hundreds in donations / modules and I cannot even begin to fathom why someone thought that making categories, models, manufacturers, EVERYTHING auto complete was anywhere close to an okay idea. Please dear god bring back the check boxes without forcing me to buy a module for something that used to (smartly) come standard.
I expect it is your browser that does that.
just go into the configutation and disable autocomplete and you should be fine

A few alternative options....
1. First Select Category, Then show only products from that category
-- This is how it used to be, but still had problems with stores that had a lot of categories, and the recursive looping to get all categories would bring the database to its knees.
2. Alphabetical selector to only show products that start with that Alphabet letter
-- This can get messy as you'd need to support all alphabets in all languages. Also if you have only 10 "A" products and 10000 "B" products you'll have the same issue again
3. An autocomplete with a separate results multiselect box (shown here: http://screencast.com/t/AWtx4cbnsU4)
-- Then you could select from the left box and copy more than one at a time to the right box
Number 3 would be ideal and the best of both worlds.
Can we have that then?Qphoria wrote:Yea.. it isn't ideal... but it makes sense as Daniel said for large stores.

Basically, I can't see why there shouldn't be a listbox (limit sized) with a scroll bar. Leave the auto-complete text box for shops which have long amounts of data.

Yes, I only did it for the product page. I will try and find time to do the categories, but don't hold your breath while you wait. I have other commitments and as this is a freebie, it will not get top priority treatment.

Improvement to current solution, and IMHO the best solution for now, is to retain auto-complete, and next to auto-complete field, to place drop-down category/manufacturer(...) selector. Selection from drop-down to be equivalent to selection from auto-complete, and selected item to be places in the box.Daniel wrote:I think he means the product page. all the linked tables like categories, downloads all use auto complete now. to be honest i don;t know a better way if you have 1000's of categories and downloads.
