Additional Form submit button with redirection - forms

I have added additional submit button on node create page via form_alter:
$form['check_data'] = array(
'#type' => 'submit',
'#access' => TRUE,
'#value' => 'Check',
'#validate' => array('node_form_validate'),
'#submit' => array('node_form_submit', 'custom_redirect'),
);
So the button now validates the form and saves the node, but it doesn't redirect it afterwards:
function custom_redirect($form, &$form_state) {
$form_state['redirect'] = 'node/%nid/check';
}
Any ideas how to redirect it after submission?

in _form_alter add the following:
$form['actions']['check_data']['#submit'][] = 'custom_redirect';
and/or check does form_state have nid and use it from there, like
$form_state['nid'], $form_state['redirect'] = 'node/' . $form_state['nid'] . '/check';

Drupal 7: Show fields on a form based on another field and a database lookup

I have a form I created in a custom module using the Form API. It is a fairly basic form with only 4 fields. It basically signs a user up for a job alert system. We are basing it only by email address with a few search parameters. We want people to be able to setup a search agent quickly and anonymously meaning they will NOT be creating a Drupal user account as we don't want them to have to deal with a password etc. They will just put in their email address, check off a few preferences and we will save the data.
Now the issue I need to deal with is allowing the user to edit their preferences later on and/or unsubscribe. Again this is not high security and it doesn't need to be. What I would like to do is initially ask ONLY for their email address in the form and allow them to submit it. I would then check the database to see if we already have an entry for that email address and if so, display the pre-filled form for them to edit or unsubsribe, other wise just show them the blank form. So I am just trying to figure out the best way to go about this. I'm thinking I just have one form with all of the fields including email address, but somehow only display the other fields besides the email address after a successful call to the database. I'm just tripping up on how to accomplish this.
EDIT:
I'm wondering if I can use Drupal's AJAX functionality to accomplish this? I tried this, but I couldn't get it to work. I put an Ajax attribute on my submit button with a wrapper ID and a callback function. I created a form element in my form with blank markup and used a prefix and suffix that created a wrapper div with the ID I used in my AJAX parameter. Then I am thinking in my callback function I can do the database lookup and then return the form elements I need either pre-filled or not into the wrapper div that was created, but when I do this, the form does submit via AJAX and I get the spinning wheel, but no matter what I return in my callback, it does not appear in my output wrapper div. Am I going about this the right way? I also made sure I have $form_state['rebuild'] = TRUE; on my original form.
Here is what I tried and it didn't work.
/**
* Implements hook_form().
*/
function _vista_form($form, &$form_state) {
$form = array();
$form_state['rebuild'] = TRUE;
$form['email'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => 'Email',
'#required' => TRUE,
);
$form['render_area'] = array(
'#type' => 'markup',
'#markup' => '',
'#prefix' => '<div id="job-agent-form">',
'#suffix' => '</div>',
);
$form['submit'] = array(
'#type' => 'submit',
'#value' => t('Submit'),
'#attributes' => array('class' => array('submit')),
'#ajax' => array(
'callback' => '_display_form',
'wrapper' => 'job-agent-form',
'method' => 'replace',
'effect' => 'fade',
),
return $form;
}
function _display_form($form, &$form_state) {
// there are other form elements that would go here also, I just added two for example
$type_options = array(
'VISTA-HealthCare-Partners-Government' => 'Vista Healthcare Partners',
'International' => 'International Locum Tenens',
'Permanent' => 'Permanent Physician',
'US-Locum-Tenens' => 'US Locum Tenens',
);
$form['job_type'] = array(
'#type' => 'checkboxes',
'#multiple' => TRUE,
'#title' => 'Type of Job',
'#options' => $type_options,
'#empty_option' => 'Choose a placement type',
'#empty_value' => 'all',
//'#default_value' => $type_selected,
);
$form['active'] = array(
'#type' => 'checkbox',
'#title' => 'Subscribe/Unsubscribe',
'#default_value' => 1,
);
return $form;
}
I would go for creating all fields in the form than use hook_form_alter() to hide the unneeded ones with ['#access'] = FALSE.

drupal form api file upload

I have a form with file attachment. Once i load the file and submit the form, if validation errors occur the form is loaded again, but the file i had uploaded is not rendered and I have to load it again.
I tried using file_save_upload but it doesnot seem to work.
$file_attach_set= file_save_upload('file_attachment1', array());
//$file_attach_setII = $form_state['values']['attc'];
$contextid = 150;
if(empty($file_attach_setII)){
$form['file_attachment' . $i] = array(
'#type' => 'file',
"#title" =>'kik'
'#default_value'=> $file_attach_set->fid,
//'#title_display' => $file_attach_set->uri,
''
);
}
The file element doesn't have a #default_value property. Try using the managed_file type which has this property.
https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer%21topics%21forms_api_reference.html/7#file
$form['file_attachment' . $i] = array(
'#type' => 'managed_file',
'#title' =>'kik',
'#default_value'=> array(
'fid' => $file_attach_set->fid,
),
);

sending form values $form_state['redirect'] Form API Drupal

I want to send my form values using form API drupal. I have following value
$form['billing']["cardholders_name"] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t("Cardholder's Name"),
'#required' => TRUE,
'#prefix' => '<div class="field-wrapper-w1 card-name">'
);
I am writing following code in my form submit function
function test_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {
$form_state['redirect'] = 'www.test.com/page' . '?cname=' . $form_state['values']['billing[cardholders_name]'];
}
But it seems like it is not working. Please help
The following example appears in
http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes%21form.inc/function/drupal_redirect_form/7
$form_state['redirect'] = array(
'node/123',
array(
'query' => array(
'foo' => 'bar',
),
'fragment' => 'baz',
),
);
Any value for form element will be in $form_state under values so in your function test_form_submit you can access cardholders_name
$form_state['values']['cardholders_name']
also you can do it in this way using drupal_goto()
drupal_goto('www.test.com/page' . '?cname=' . $form_state['values']['cardholders_name]);

In Drupal 7, how do I show a new form that can edit data selected from a different form?

I have a tableselect form that lists several items. When a user selects one or more items, and clicks the edit button, I want a new form to show up that lets them edit the items.
I have the new form structure being generated, but I can't get it to show up after the edit button is clicked.
Currently, nothing seems to happen. I know that the tableselect form is being submitted correctly, and the function to create the edit term form is working correctly. I tested it with drupal_set_message and var export.
So, how do I get the new form to show?
Here is my relevant code:
/**
* Generate form for listing terms
*/
function markit_form_terms_list()
{
$form = array();
$form['terms'] = array(
'#type' => 'fieldset',
'#title' => t('List of Terms'),
);
$header = array(t('Name'), t('ID'), t('SetID'));
$form['terms']['items'] = array(
'#type' => 'tableselect',
'#header' => $header,
'#title' => t('Terms'),
'#options' => markit_get_array_terms(),//drupal_map_assoc($header, 'markit_get_array_terms'),
'#tree' => TRUE,
);
$form['terms']['submit'] = array(
'#type' => 'submit',
'#value' => t('Edit Term'),
'#submit' => array('markit_form_terms_list_submit'),
);
/*$form['terms']['delete'] = array(
'#type' => 'submit',
'#value' => t('Delete Term'),
'#submit' => 'markit_form_terms_delete'
);*/
return $form;
}
/**
* Generate form to edit the terms.
* #param <type> $form
* #param <type> $form_state
* #return string
*/
function markit_form_term_edit($form, $form_state)
{
$newform = array();
$newform['termstoedit'] = array(
'#type' => 'fieldset',
'#title' => t('Edit Term/s'),
);
foreach($form_state['values']['items'] as $row)
{
if($row!=0)//if a row is not selected, it will be 0. So don't select rows equal to 0.
{
$terminfo = markit_get_markterms($row);
drupal_set_message(var_export($terminfo,true));//['term_name']);
drupal_set_message($terminfo[0]['term_name']);
$newform['termstoedit'][$terminfo[0]['term_id']] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t('Term:'),
'#default_value' => $terminfo[0]['term_name'],
'#size' => 60,
'#maxlength' => 128,
'#required' => TRUE,
);
}
}
$newform['termstoedit']['submit'] = array(
'#type' => 'submit',
'#value' => t('Edit Term'),
'#submit' => array('markit_form_term_edit_submit'),
);
drupal_set_message(var_export($newform,true));
return $newform;
}
function markit_form_terms_list_submit($form,$form_state)
{
drupal_set_page_content(drupal_build_form('markit_form_term_edit', $form_state));
}
I believe I am not using the correct code in the markit_form_terms_list_submit function. I've tried several different things, but it hasn't worked yet. And the Google searches I've done haven't helped either. I also have searched the Drupal API and Drupal Form API sites extensively.
Anyway, I think that's all the info you might need in order to help me. Thanks in advance!
I believe you may have better luck if you have one form function with differing fields being shown depending on the output.
If you do this you will even be able to use the form ajax methods to auto update your form.
Have a look at this howto to see if you think the approach will work for you.

Drupal Form:want to show previous form value as default_value on page

My Goal is if user is submitting this form with "Product Name" value as "YYY". On submit page should reload but this time "Product Name" should show previous valye as default as in this case "YYY".
Here is my code...
function addnewproduct_page () {
return drupal_get_form('addnewproduct_form',&$form_state);
}
function addnewproduct_form(&$form_state) {
$form = array();
$formproductname['productname'] = array (
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t('Product Name'),
'#required' => TRUE,
'#size' => '20',
);
if (isset($form_state['values']['productname']))
{
$form['productname']['#default_value'] = $form_state['values']['productname'];
}
//a "submit" button
$form['submit'] = array (
'#type' => 'submit',
'#value' => t('Add new Product'),
);
return $form;
}
You can use $form_state['storage'] in your submit handler to hoard values between steps. So add a submit function like so:
function addnewproduct_form_submit ($form, &$form_state) {
// Store values
$form_state['storage']['addnewproduct_productname'] = $form_state['values']['productname'];
// Rebuild the form
$form_state['rebuild'] = TRUE;
}
Then your form builder function would become:
function addnewproduct_form(&$form_state) {
$form = array();
$form['productname'] = array (
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t('Product Name'),
'#required' => TRUE,
'#size' => '20',
);
if (isset($form_state['storage']['addnewproduct_productname'])) {
$form['productname']['#default_value'] = $form_state['storage']['addnewproduct_productname'];
}
return $form;
}
Just remember that your form will keep being generated as long as your $form_state['storage'] is stuffed. So you will need to adjust your submit handler and unset($form_state['storage']) when are ready to save values to the database etc.
If your form is more like a filter ie. used for displaying rather than storing info, then you can get away with just
function addnewproduct_form_submit ($form, &$form_state) {
// Rebuild the form
$form_state['rebuild'] = TRUE;
}
When the form rebuilds it will have access to $form_state['values'] from the previous iteration.
Drupal will do this by default if you include:
$formproductname['#redirect'] = FALSE;
In your $formproductname array.
I prefer to save all values in one time when we are speaking about complex forms :
foreach ($form_state['values'] as $form_state_key => $form_state_value) {
$form_state['storage'][$form_state_key] = $form_state['values'][$form_state_value];
}
simply adding rebuilt = true will do the job:
$form_state['rebuild'] = TRUE;
version: Drupal 7
For anyone looking for an answer here while using webform (which I just struggled through), here's what I ended up doing:
//in hook_form_alter
$form['#submit'][] = custom_booking_form_submit;
function custom_booking_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {
// drupal_set_message("in form submit");
// dpm($form_state, 'form_state');
foreach ($form_state['values']['submitted_tree'] as $form_state_key => $form_state_value) {
$form_state['storage'][$form_state_key] = $form_state_value;
}
}
Note: added the ' as it was lost
In my case I had a couple of drop-downs. Submitting the form posted back to the same page, where I could filter a view and I wanted to show the previously selected options. On submitting the form I built a query string in the submit hook:
function myform_submit($form, &$form_state) {
$CourseCat = $form_state['values']['coursecat'];
drupal_goto("courses" , array('query' =>
array('cat'=>$CourseCat))
);
}
In the form build hook, all I did was get the current query string and used those as default values, like so:
function myform_form($form, &$form_state) {
$Params = drupal_get_query_parameters ();
$CatTree = taxonomy_get_tree(taxonomy_vocabulary_machine_name_load ('category')->vid);
$Options = array ();
$Options ['all'] = 'Select Category';
foreach ($CatTree as $term) {
$Options [$term->tid] = $term->name;
}
$form['cat'] = array(
'#type' => 'select',
'#default_value' => $Params['cat'],
'#options' => $Options
);
$form['submit'] = array(
'#type' => 'submit',
'#default_value' => 'all',
'#value' => t('Filter'),
);
return $form;
}
I usually solve this by putting the submitted value in the $_SESSION variable in the submit hook. Then the next time the form is loaded, I check the $_SESSION variable for the appropriate key, and put the value into the #default_value slot if there's anything present.
Not sure if this would work for you, but you could try adding the #default_value key to the form array
$form['productname'] = array (
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t('Product Name'),
'#required' => TRUE,
'#size' => '20',
'#default_value' => variable_get('productname', ''),
);
That way if the variable is set it will grab whatever it is, but if not you can use a default value.
