Is this the same as #87 ?

Hey @brodock. I recommend you to take a look at my fork of jquery-tokeninput at https://github.com/vdepizzol/jquery-tokeninput. It implements this and a couple of other things as well.

Hey guys, I've merged in some changes recently which make this pull request difficult to merge.

Anyone interested in refactoring this pull request to work with 1.6.0 and the new tokenValue setting?

[janpieper]

I really need this feature, so i'll do this refactoring.

[marijnvdwerf]

I've already updated it about two weeks ago, maybe it's of some help?

navale, i tried your fork (master and token-on-the-fly branch) but couldn't get this feature working out of the box.
Do I need a certain config parameter?

[marijnvdwerf]

@Capsized: Like on this pull request's diff page; allowNewItems is false by default, so you need to set it to true in your config :)

@navale, thanks for pointing that out. :) still learning to find my way around github.
And works like a charm, just what I needed.

[janpieper]

Can someone please review and test my changes?

Changes to master:
https://github.com/janpieper/jquery-tokeninput/commit/e0db55be562976339a03ef89df4bab22ed509055

Changes to gh-pages:
https://github.com/janpieper/jquery-tokeninput/commit/abee08bf8d72dc37187c3da555bf35456adbb30e

The demo page won't work without changing the script path for jquery-tokeninput.js.

@janpieper I tried using your changes for the allowNewTokens and the token-field changes back to a regular text-field when i add that new option. If I use the regular options it works correctly.

This doesn't work:

$(function() {
$("#business_token").tokenInput("/businesses.json", {
prePopulate: $("#business_token").data("pre"),
tokenLimit:1,
preventDuplicates: true,
allowNewTokens: true,
searchingText: "Looking for business...",
});
});

This DOES work:

$(function() {
$("#business_token").tokenInput("/businesses.json", {
prePopulate: $("#business_token").data("pre"),
tokenLimit:1,
preventDuplicates: true,
searchingText: "Looking for business...",
});
});

Even when I removed all other options besides allowNewTokens, it still didn't work.

[janpieper]

It's not possible to use allowNewTokens: true with tokenValue: "id" (default) because new items does not have an id. You need to change tokenValue to e.g. name.

[Justinwceo]

Well....it does "work" when added tokenValue: "name" but in my Ruby-on-Rails application it should also have an ID assigned to it along with a name when I create it. Without RoR I can say it does work. Thanks, good job.

Why do you check for this here and then not allow selection? Doing so breaks the ability to use the arrows to search through results.

[firulais]

merge, merge, merge

[johans]

@janpieper Do you still have your refactoring? The links are broken...

[janpieper]

@johans yeah i still have a local copy (see https://gist.github.com/4512379), but it hasn't been updated since I made my changes, so if you need some 1.6.1 features, you need to merge them by yourself. Will try to setup a new fork over the weekend.

This code example isn't tested and is poorly extracted from my application that is using this jQuery-plugin.

$("#my-fancy-token-input").tokenInput("/autocomplete", {
  allowNewTokens: true,
  propertyToSearch: "label",
  tokenValue: "label",
  preventDuplicates: true
});

If you have any problems getting it working, please contact me and i'll help you.

Why does it not merged?
