Use tagmanager as multi-select replacement
I'm using tagmanager where I want to offer the ability for user to input new values, alongside selecting from typeahead values. However, I'd like to use the same functionality for cases where the user can't input his/her own data. I've used chosen for this (http://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/) but I prefer the look and feel and functionality of your tagmanager. How about creating an option that prevents the user from inputting own data? I've implemented this with pushing a tag that says "no results match ..." that resets the input value, but I had to make too many changes and I wouldn't want to break updates
On a similar note, it'd be nice if, when using typeahead, there's an apparent way for the user to tell whether the selected value comes from the typeahead or it's his/her own. Currently. I've implemented it myself like in the screenshot, but it'd be nice if that was part of the core.
Glad you like our look and feel :)
I think you're looking for the "onlyTagList" option?
Well, to be honest, I tried that option but I didn't get it to work with the typeahead. Is there a demo anywhere? I'm using a function for the typeaheadSource
@pvenakis @johnnyshields agree with both, onlyTagList should be the solution, but it's not working right now. I will try to fix that in #133
Quick fix for onlyTagList : https://github.com/max-favilli/tagmanager/issues/171 I've been working on a project also wanting to use this to replace my long selects, that fix did the trick for onlyTagList.
If you get the bug where tags don't style properly (weird positionning & no styling), use this:
.tt-hint { background:none!important; display:none!important; }
