I need to save the IP address of a user who fills out my form.
I have tried to do it like this:
'userip' => [
'exclude' => true,
'label' => 'LLL:EXT:myExtension/Resources/Private/Language/locallang_db.xlf:tx_myextension_domain_model_myextension.userip',
'config' => [
'type' => 'input',
'size' => 30,
'eval' => 'trim',
'default' => '12345'.$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]
]
],
But that doesn't work. What would be the right way?
$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] is not available in TCA cause this is BE related stuff.
Use the setter from the model, setUserip($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]), in your createAction() or initializeCreateAction() to save the value in DB.
I hava a Collection, in which a field User (a multiselect) depends on a previous Select, the Department. Therefore each User select contain a different "value_options".
How can I set different "value_options" when retrieving the form for each row of the Collection?
You have different options:
You create an API endpoint to retrieve form options
You make this into two different pages, the first one you choose the department and the second one you choose the user (ew)
You populate the form in server-side and you filter the selects on client side
I personally discourage the second option. Is there just to say that it is a possible solution, but NO.
The first option, the API, is interesting, but requires actually more work, especially if it is the only endpoint in your application.
The third option is the one I always use, since it requires the less code and it quite simple to implement.
In your form, you have your two elements:
$this->add([
'name' => 'department_id',
'type' => 'Select',
'attributes' => [
'id' => 'department_id'
],
'options' => [
'value_options' => [
1 => 'Marketing',
2 => 'IT',
3 => 'Logistic'
]
]
]);
$this->add([
'name' => 'user_id',
'type' => 'Select',
'attributes' => [
'id' => 'user_id',
'multiple' => true
],
'options' => [
'value_options' => [
[
'value' => 1,
'label' => 'John Doe - Marketing',
'attributes' => ['data-department-id' => 1]
],
[
'value' => 2,
'label' => 'Jane Doe - Marketing',
'attributes' => ['data-department-id' => 1]
],
[
'value' => 3,
'label' => 'Jack Doe - IT',
'attributes' => ['data-department-id' => 2]
],
[
'value' => 4,
'label' => 'Dana Doe - IT',
'attributes' => ['data-department-id' => 2]
],
[
'value' => 5,
'label' => 'Frank Doe - Logistic',
'attributes' => ['data-department-id' => 3]
],
[
'value' => 6,
'label' => 'Lara Doe - Logistic',
'attributes' => ['data-department-id' => 3]
]
]
]
]);
As you can see, all the users are put in the value_options. Keep in mind that this is just an example, you should use custom elements to populate this kind of selects ;)
Then, in your view, you render the elements:
<?= $this->formElement($this->form->get('department_id')); ?>
<?= $this->formElement($this->form->get('user_id')); ?>
And you finally add the JS code to handle the filter. Here I use jQuery, but it's not necessary to use it:
$(function () {
// Filter users when you load the page
filterUsers(false);
// Filter users when you change value on multiselect
$('#department_id').on('change', function () {
filterUsers(true);
});
});
function filterUsers(resetValue) {
var departmentId = $('#department_id').val();
// Remove previous value only when filter is changed
if (resetValue) {
$('#user_id').val(null);
}
// Disable all options
$('#user_id option').attr('disabled', 'disabled').attr('hidden', true);
// Enable only those that respect the criteria
$('#user_id option[data-department-id=' + departmentId + ']').attr('disabled', false).attr('hidden', false);
}
Final tip: don't forget to create and add to the form a Validator to check the couple department_id - user_id is correct, just to avoid (on my example) to accept Lara Doe (logistic) with IT department ;)
I created a new content element which adds a field called heroslider to tt_content.
The TCA looks like this:
'heroslider' => [
'config' => [
'type' => 'inline',
'allowed' => 'tx_ext_domain_model_heroslider_item',
'foreign_table' => 'tx_ext_domain_model_heroslider_item',
'foreign_field' => 'tt_content_uid',
'foreign_sortby' => 'sorting',
'foreign_label' => 'header',
'maxitems' => 99,
'appearance' => [
'collapseAll' => 1,
'expandSingle' => 1,
],
],
],
Now when I add a heroslider_item in the BE, it gets stored properly, except for the field tt_content_uid. This fields contains a zero instead of the uid of the content element.
Do you have any idea what I am missing?
Thanks in advance!
In your table tx_ext_domain_model_heroslider_item you miss a field for the reverse table name. at least you have not declared it in your relation:
foreign_table_field = parent_table
You know that your parent records always are tt_content, but TYPO3 needs some help.
ANFSCD:
why do you have
'allowed' => 'tx_ext_domain_model_heroslider_item',
I can not find any documentation about an option allowed.
We have added custom field under shipping address in checkout page.
It's select field and we are showing custom option from database. It's working fine but when we click next and move to payment option to place an order at that time value not posting. selected dropdown value not showing in console.
If we add text field instead then it shows value posted in console. What could be the issue?
$jsLayout['components']['checkout']['children']['steps']['children']['shipping-step']['children']
['shippingAddress']['children']['shipping-address-fieldset']['children']['custom-field'] = [
'component' => 'Magento_Ui/js/form/element/abstract',
'config' => [
'customScope' => 'shippingAddress.custom_attributes',
'template' => 'ui/form/field',
'elementTmpl' => 'ui/form/element/select',
'id' => 'custom-field',
'options' => $optionarray
],
'dataScope' => 'shippingAddress.custom_attributes.custom_field',
'label' => 'Custom Field',
'provider' => 'checkoutProvider',
'visible' => true,
'validation' => [],
'sortOrder' => 250,
'id' => 'custom-field'
];
return $jsLayout;
Any help would be appreciated.
I've read numerous workarounds for Zend Framework's lack of default checkbox validation.
I have recently started using ZF2 and the documentation is a bit lacking out there.
Can someone please demonstrate how I can validate a checkbox to ensure it was ticked, using the Zend Form and Validation mechanism? I'm using the array configuration for my Forms (using the default set-up found in the example app on the ZF website).
Try this
Form element :
$this->add(array(
'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\Checkbox',
'name' => 'agreeterms',
'options' => array(
'label' => 'I agree to all terms and conditions',
'use_hidden_element' => true,
'checked_value' => 1,
'unchecked_value' => 'no'
),
));
In filters, add digit validation
use Zend\Validator\Digits; // at top
$inputFilter->add($factory->createInput(array(
'name' => 'agreeterms',
'validators' => array(
array(
'name' => 'Digits',
'break_chain_on_failure' => true,
'options' => array(
'messages' => array(
Digits::NOT_DIGITS => 'You must agree to the terms of use.',
),
),
),
),
)));
You could also just drop the hidden form field (which I find a bit weird from a purist HTML point of view) from the options instead of setting its value to 'no' like this:
$this->add(array(
'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\Checkbox',
'name' => 'agreeterms',
'options' => array(
'label' => 'I agree to all terms and conditions',
'use_hidden_element' => false
),
));
I had the same problem and did something similar to Optimus Crew's suggestion but used the Identical Validator.
If you don't set the checked_value option of the checkbox and leave it as the default it should pass in a '1' when the data is POSTed. You can set it if you require, but make sure you're checking for the same value in the token option of the validator.
$this->filter->add(array(
'name' => 'agreeterms',
'validators' => array(
array(
'name' => 'Identical',
'options' => array(
'token' => '1',
'messages' => array(
Identical::NOT_SAME => 'You must agree to the terms of use.',
),
),
),
),
));
This won't work if you use the option 'use_hidden_element' => false for the checkbox for the form. If you do this, you'll end up displaying the default NotEmpty message Value is required and can't be empty
This isn't directly related to the question, but here's some zf2 checkbox tips if you're looking to store a user's response in the database...
DO use '1' and '0' strings, don't bother trying to get anything else to work. Plus, you can use those values directly as SQL values for a bit/boolean column.
DO use hidden elements. If you don't, no value will get posted with the form and no one wants that.
DO NOT try to filter the value to a boolean. For some reason, when the boolean value comes out to be false, the form doesn't validate despite having 'required' => false;
Example element creation in form:
$this->add([
'name' => 'cellPhoneHasWhatsApp',
'type' => 'Checkbox',
'options' => [
'label' => 'Cell phone has WhatsApp?',
'checked_value' => '1',
'unchecked_value' => '0',
'use_hidden_element' => true,
],
]);
Example input filter spec:
[
'cellPhoneHasWhatsApp' => [
'required' => false,
],
]
And here's an example if you want to hide some other form fields using bootstrap:
$this->add([
'name' => 'automaticTitle',
'type' => 'Checkbox',
'options' => [
'label' => 'Automatically generate title',
'checked_value' => '1',
'unchecked_value' => '0',
'use_hidden_element' => true,
],
'attributes' => [
'data-toggle' => 'collapse',
'data-target' => '#titleGroup',
'aria-expanded' => 'false',
'aria-controls' => 'titleGroup'
],
]);
I'm a ZF2 fan, but at the end of the day, you just have to find out what works with it and what doesn't (especially with Forms). Hope this helps somebody!
Very old question, but figured it might still be used/referenced by people, like me, still using Zend Framework 2. (Using ZF 2.5.3 in my case)
Jeff's answer above helped me out getting the right config here for what I'm using. In my use case I require the Checkbox, though leaving it empty will count as a 'false' value, which is allowed. His answer helped me allow the false values, especially his:
DO NOT try to filter the value to a boolean. For some reason, when the boolean value comes out to be false
The use case is to enable/disable certain entities, such as Countries or Languages so they won't show up in a getEnabled[...]() Repository function.
Form element
$this->add([
'name' => 'enabled',
'required' => true,
'type' => Checkbox::class,
'options' => [
'label' => _('Enabled'),
'label_attributes' => [
'class' => '',
],
'use_hidden_element' => true,
'checked_value' => 1,
'unchecked_value' => 0,
],
'attributes' => [
'id' => '',
'class' => '',
],
]);
Input filter
$this->add([
'name' => 'enabled',
'required' => true,
'validators' => [
[
'name' => InArray::class,
'options' => [
'haystack' => [true, false],
],
],
],
])
