Question

I'd like to create a UI for my plugin that's consistent with the rest of FogBugz. Both the tags and subcases provide ajax lookup and the nice tab-to-create-pretty-blue-box functionality. I'd like to do the same thing in a plugin.

Is this possible through the plugin API or possible by manually generating html/javascript?

Answer 1

If you look at the source for the tag input, you'll notice a couple additional attributes on the element.

pgsrc is a page that gives back suggestions for the value typed. You can probably set this to pgPlugin + your plugin params.
delimiters is a set of separator characters.
fxnchunkdispay is the name of a javascript function to call when rendering. I think you can skip it.
fchunky should be set to 1.

I'm not sure we officially support all forms of magic inputs, but it should work.
