I have to make a huge form in a drupal website, it's for a travel agency and it's a satisfaction questionnaire.
At the beggining of the form the user choose the type of travel he do, and after this all the fields depend of the first answer, for each type of travel there is different fields to complete.
So my question is what's the best way to do this form (there is 12 type of travel, so 12 different set of fields (~50 field / type)).
I think webform could be usable with the webform conditionnal fields, but the problem I think i'll have with webform is when I want to export the data, in the CSV I'll have ALL the fields of ALL the travel type, and this will be illisible.
I search for it but doesn't find if this is possible to hide fields of the csv programmatically.
A second way I found in internet is the CCK, but I have no experience with this.
Do you have any suggestion ?
you can use hook provided by webform module :
/**
* Alter a Webform submission's data when exported.
*/
function hook_webform_csv_data_alter(&$data, $component, $submission) {
// If a value of a field was left blank, use the value from another
// field.
if ($component['cid'] == 1 && empty($data)) {
$data = $submission->data[2]['value'][0];
}
}
Found in webform.api.php into webform module folder
Also you can modify submit function by own altering form process :
function hook_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state , $form_id){
if ($form_id == 'myformid'){
$form['#submit']= array('mycustomsubmit'); // or loop on existing to suppress only unwanted submit callbacks
}
}
function mycustomsubmit($form , &$form_state){
// do your stuffs csv exports
}

I want to make two sperate check box groupe. Lets say
Front end courses
-Bootstrap
-React Js
-Angular js
Back end courses
-C#
-Node
-PHP
on submitting form I want to make sure at least one course is selected by the user. Lets say a student selects ReactJs.
I have tried below code but it makes one option mandatory for all checkbox groups
[Checkbox* checkbox-11 ",Bootstrap" "React Js" "Angular JS"]
[Checkbox* checkbox-12 ",C#" "Node" "PHP"]
How can I make at least one option selected mandatory from any of the checkbox groups
field validation takes place post form submission. To solve this problem you need to make neither field mandatory, and then do a custom validation on the server side. CF7 plugin allows you to add custom validation to individual field but does not allow you to validate a field wrt to the value of other fields in the form.
To do this you need an extension such as the Smart Grid-layout plugin which has a validation hook that gives you access to the entire form's submitted data and therefore cross-validate your fields,
add_filter('cf7sg_validate_submission', 'cross_validate_submission',10,3);
function cross_validate_submission($validation, $submission, $form_key){
if(empty($submission['fe-courses']) && empty($submission['be-courses'])){
$validation['fe-courses']='You need to select at least 1 course!';
}
return $validation;
}
I am building a multi-step application form with React. Having first built it with pure internal state I am now in the process of refactoring to Redux using redux-form.
Having used the example here as a basis: http://redux-form.com/5.2.5/#/examples/wizard?_k=oftw7a we have come a good way.
However the problem appears when i have two forms which are supposed to have the same value. During one of the pages i have a name field, that is supposed to be duplicated on the name field of the next page. The opposite should happen if you go back from the last page. Any tips to how this could be achieved?
Using the wizard, you are basically working with the exact same form that's split into multiple pieces. Ultimately it's the same form, because redux-form tracks them by name. It is how the library identifies the pieces of the same form - using the name.
form: 'wizard',
Here you can see that the exact same instance of the form will be shared throughout the pieces. fields work in a similar manner. Each field is defined as part of a form.
As long as you use the same field constants inside the fields object that you pass into the reduxForm function and as long as the value for form is the same, so that they use the same underlying form object, it should work for you just fine.
On one page you should pass in
export default reduxForm({
form: 'wizard',
fields : {
'fieldIWantOnBothPartsOfTheForm',
'someOtherFieldThatShouldOnlyBeHere',
},
...
And then on the other page:
export default reduxForm({
form: 'wizard',
fields : {
'fieldIWantOnBothPartsOfTheForm',
'thirdFieldHere',
},
...
Also, make sure you keep destroyOnUnmount equal to false if you want to navigate back-and-forth.
Hope that helps.
In Drupal 7, is there a way to change the standard edit form for a content type based on a certain content?
For example:
I have a content type with a checkbox...once it it checked and the form is saved, I do not want this checkbox to be visible anymore...therefore based on the checkboxes value in the Database I want to hide form fields when showing the form.
I am building a small specific project site, where a company wants to add projects, and their customers are supposed to follow certain steps (upload some content, provide information etc.), and also should be able to check off certain requirements, and once these are checked off, they should not be visible/editable to them.
Also the displayed form fields should depend on an user's role, and then FURTHER be limited depending on the content's database entries.
Is there a module, which could achieve this behaviour? "rules" and "field/permissions" come close to what I need, but are not sufficient. Or did I just miss the option to change a form field's accessibility based on conditions?
What I need is some place to define a logic like "IF (VALUEOF(CHECKBOX_1) == TRUE) THEN DO_NOT_SHOW(CHECKBOX_1)"
hook_form_alter is the way to do this, as explained by Mihaela, but what options do you have inside that function?
If you want just to disable field (it will be visible, but user can't change it) you can do it like this:
$form['field_myfield']['#disabled'] = TRUE;
And if you want it to be hidden, but to keep value it has before editing the way to do that is:
$form['field_myfield']['#access'] = FALSE;
I.e. hiding it (somewhere I saw someone suggesting that):
hide($form['field_myfield']);
really hides the field, but after that, when form is saved this field has empty value, validation fails, etc, so that's not a good way to do this. Hiding makes sense only if you want to print separately that field later, at some other place.
function your_module_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id){
switch($form_id) {
case 'nameOfTheNode_node_form':
//your code here. check the value from from_state.
break;
}
}
In this case, I use module Conditional Fields https://www.drupal.org/project/conditional_fields
For example: If my Dependees field has a value, Dependent field can be visible/invisible, enabled/disabled, required/optional, checked/unchecked
I am working in drupal 7. I need a field in the user registration form which needs to be unique. It is an integer field which stores the ID of the user. I have been searching around for a few hours now without any development. Can someone guide me through this?
Thank You.
You can add a custom "staff id" field to the user entity type from admin/config/people/account/fields (configuration->people->account settings). You can add a new integer field, and mark it to display in the registration form, and/or required.
To check that the field value is unqiue you will need to use a custom module. In your custom module use the form_id_form_alter hook to add a custom validation to the registration form. Then during validation you can check that the value does not already exist in the database and return a form error.
Example of the custom module:
<?php
function mymodule_form_user_register_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id){
$form['#validate'][] = 'mymodule_user_registration_validate';
}
function mymodule_user_registration_validate(&$form,&$form_state){
$staff_id = $form_state['values']['staff_id_field'];
$check_unique_query = 'SELECT field_staff_id_value FROM {field_data_staff_id} WHERE field_staff_id_value = :staff_id LIMIT 1';
//if a result is returned, that means the $staff_id exists
if (db_query($check_unique_query,array(':staff_id'=>$staff_id))->fetchField()){
form_set_error('staff_id_field','This Staff ID is already in use');
}
}
Have you tried the Unique field module? Pretty sure it does what you need here.
Field validation does the trick https://drupal.org/project/field_validation. You can set any rules per field even on the registration form
I don't really know how to word the title well, but here's my issue. I decided instead of having 25 controllers to handle pages, I have one PageController with a viewAction that takes in a :page parameter - for example, http://localhost/website/page/about-us would direct to PageController::viewAction() with a parameter of page = about-us. All of the pages are stored in a templates folder, so the viewrenderer is set to render application\templates\default\about-us.phtml.
I did this so I can consolidate and it seemed like a better approach. My question is the following: lets say when the page request is contact-us, I would need a Zend_Form to be used within the contact page. So, I would need a way within PageController::viewAction() to recognize that the page needs to have a form built, build the form, and also upon submission the need to process it (maybe this should be handled in an abstract process method - not sure).
I have no idea how to implement this. I thought maybe I can store a column with the name of a form and a connecting page identifier. Even better, create a one-to-many page to forms, and then in the submission loop through the forms and check if submitted and if so then process it (maybe there is a isSubmitted() method within zend_form. I really don't know how to handle this, and am looking for any help i can get.
Thanks!
Here is something that came to mind that may work or help point you in a direction that works for you.
This may only work well assuming you were to have no more than one form per page, if you need more than one form on a page, you would have to do something beyond this automatic form handling.
Create a standard location for forms that are attached to pages (e.g. application/forms/page). This is where the automatic forms associated with pages will be kept.
In your viewAction, you could take advantage of the autoloader to see if a form for that page exists. For example:
$page = $this->getParam('page');
$page = ucfirst(preg_replace('/-(\w)/ie', "strtoupper('$1')", $page)); // contact-us -> ContactUs
$class = 'Application_Form_Page_' . $page;
// class_exists will invoke the autoloader to map a class to a file
if (class_exists($class)) {
// a form is defined for this page
$form = new $class();
// check if form was posted
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
if ($form->isValid($this->getRequest()->getPost()) {
// form is valid - determine how to process it
}
}
// assign the form to the view
$this->view->pageForm = $form;
}
All this really leaves out is the action you take to process a specific form. Since the contact form will likely generate an email, and another form may insert data into a database, you will need some sort of callback system or perhaps another class that can be mapped automatically which contains the form processor code.
Anyway something along those lines is what came to mind first, I hope that helps give you some more ideas.
