How to pass object data in email template?
Object data:
object(App\Model\Entity\NewsletterTemplate) {
'id' => (int) 1,
'title' => 'Newsletter 1',
'publish' => '21.04.2016',
'box_title1' => 'Aenean id erat ut leo semper viverra',
'box_text1' => 'Integer eu orci viverra',
...
}
E-mail function:
private function _send_mail($data,$user,$sender)
{
$email = new Email('default');
$email->template('newsletter_template','newsletter_body')
->emailFormat('html')
->subject('Newsletter')
->to($user)
->from([$sender => 'Some Name'])
->viewVars($data)
->send();
}
I tried this but it does not work (E-mail template newsletter_template.ctp):
...
<td class="mcnTextContent mcnTextContentLeft" style="padding-top:0; padding-left:18px; padding-bottom:9px; padding-right:18px;" valign="top">
<?php echo $title; ?>, <?php echo $publish; ?>
...
</td>
as the manual reports
you can set email view variables in this way:
$email->viewVars([
'title' => $title,
'publish' => $publish
]);
of course you can pass the whole entity too using this method

First issue is I have the following validators and public function in my table
UsersTable.php
$validator
->scalar('name')
->maxLength('name', 45)
->requirePresence('name', 'create')
->notEmptyString('name', 'You must enter a name for the user.');
$validator
->add('name', 'custom', array('rule' => 'checkExistingUser', 'message' => 'This user already appears to be in the system.', 'on' => 'create'));
public function checkExistingUser($value,$context)
{
return $this->find('all', ['conditions' => ['Users.name' => $context['data']['name'], 'Users.user_type_id' => $context['data']['user_type_id']]])->count() < 1 ;
}
When I save the form below I receive the message "Method checkExistingUser does not exist". Why doesn't it recognize the method when it's clearly defined in the table model? Am I missing something?
add.ctp
<?php echo $this->Form->create($user);?>
<fieldset>
<legend><?php echo __('Add User'); ?></legend>
<?php
echo $this->Form->control('name', ['type' => 'text']);
echo $this->Form->control('user_type_id');
echo $this->Form->control('owner', array('type' => 'text', 'label' => "Owner Name"));
echo $this->Form->control('owner_contact', array('type' => 'text', 'label' => "Owner Contact (phone, email etc)"));
echo $this->Form->control('description', ['type' => 'textarea']);
echo $this->Form->control('ia_exception', array('type' => 'text', 'label' => "IA Exception Number"));
echo $this->Form->control('is_manual', array('type' => 'checkbox', 'label' => "Password Updated Manually"));
echo $this->Form->control('Environment', ['type' => 'select', 'multiple' => 'true', 'label' => 'Environment(s)']);
?>
</fieldset>
<div class="buttons">
<?php
echo $this->Form->button('Save', ['type'=> 'submit', 'name' => 'submit']);
echo $this->Form->button('Cancel', ['type' => 'button', 'name'=>'cancel', 'onClick' => 'history.go(-1);return true;']);
echo $this->Form->end();
?>
</div>
UsersController.php
function add() {
$user = $this->Users->newEntity();
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$user = $this->Users->patchEntity($user, $this->request->data);
if ($this->Users->save($user)) {
$this->Flash->set('The user has been saved');
return $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
} else {
$this->Flash->set('The user could not be saved. Please, try again.');
}
}
$userTypes = $this->Users->UserTypes->find('list');
$changeSteps = $this->Users->ChangeSteps->find('list');
$environments = $this->Users->Environments->find('list');
$this->set(compact('user','userTypes', 'changeSteps', 'environments'));
}
Second issue is when I try to submit my form to check that the validator is working correctly for an empty name field I don't receive the message 'You must enter a name for the user'. Instead I receive a message stating 'This field is required'. Why is it not showing my message from notEmptyString? And where is 'This field is required' coming from?
For the first issue, I had to add a provider in my validator.
I changed
$validator
->add('name', 'custom', array('rule' => 'checkExistingUser', 'message' => 'This user already appears to be in the system.', 'on' => 'create'));
To this
$validator
->add('name', 'custom', ['rule' => 'checkExistingUser', 'provider' => 'table', 'message' => 'This user already appears to be in the system.', 'on' => 'create']);
Be careful with custom methods for validation during patching, because Cake expects string to be returned, otherwise it will rendere default meassage.
So for example, if we use a custom validation function during patching
// in a Controller
$this->Users->patchEntity($user, $data, ['validate' => 'custom');
Same applies for closures.
// in UserTable.php
public function validationCustom(Validator $validator) {
$validator = $this->validationDefault($validator);
$validator
->minLength('password',8,'At least 8 digits');
$validator->add('password',
'strength_light',[
'rule' => 'passwordCheck',
'provider' => 'table',
'message' => 'At least a number and a capital letter'
]
);
return $validator;
}
public function passwordCheck ($value = "") {
return preg_match("/^(?=.*?[A-Z])(?=.*?[a-z])(?=.*?[0-9])(?=.*?[#?!#$%^&*-]).{8,}/",$value);
}
This will return default message and not the custom one ("At least..") because we set a callable not-cakephp function as rule for custom validation, so the message should be returned by the called function:
public function passwordCheck ($value = "") {
if (!preg_match("/^(?=.*?[A-Z])(?=.*?[a-z])(?=.*?[0-9])(?=.*?[#?!#$%^&*-]).{8,}/",$value))
return "At least a number and a capital letter";
}
Hi I have the following form in zend
<?php
/**
* Admin/modules/admin/forms/TransportRoute.php
* #uses TransportRoute Admission Form
*/
class Admin_Form_TransportRoute extends Zend_Form
{
public function init()
{
$this->setMethod('post');
$stopageDetailsForm = new Zend_Form_SubForm();
$stopageDetailsForm->setElementsBelongTo('transport_route_stopage');
$sd_stopage = $this->CreateElement('text','stopage')
->setAttribs(array('placeholder'=>'Stopage Name', 'mendatory'=>'true'))
->setRequired(true)
->addFilter(new Zend_Filter_StringTrim())
->setDecorators(array( array('ViewHelper') ))
->setIsArray(true)
->addValidators(array(
array('NotEmpty', true, array('messages' => 'Please enter Stopage Name')),
array('stringLength',true,array(1, 6, 'messages'=> 'Stopage Name must be 2 to 40 characters long.'))
));
$sd_stopage_fee = $this->CreateElement('text','stopage_fee')
->setAttribs(array('placeholder'=>'Route Fee', 'mendatory'=>'true'))
->setRequired(true)
->addFilter(new Zend_Filter_StringTrim())
->setDecorators(array( array('ViewHelper') ))
->setIsArray(true)
->addValidators(array(
array('NotEmpty', true, array('messages' => 'Please enter Stopage Fee')),
));
$stopageDetailsForm->addElements ( array (
$sd_stopage,
$sd_stopage_fee,
) );
$this->addSubForm($stopageDetailsForm, 'transport_route_stopage');
//all sub form end here
$id = $this->CreateElement('hidden','id')
->setDecorators(array( array('ViewHelper') ));
$this->addElement($id);
$this->setDecorators(
array(
'PrepareElements',
array('viewScript'))
);
}
}
This is absolutely working fine when I render this form as below:
<div class="row-fluid stopage_block">
<div class="span5">
<?php echo $stopageDetail->stopage;?>
</div>
<div class="span4">
<?php echo $stopageDetail->stopage_fee;?>
</div>
</div>
But at the time of adding a record, I make clones of the div of class "stopage_block" and save them in the database. Now all my concerns are how to populate all the values by using a foreach loop that were inserted through clones of the div.
I have the following arrays
array('stopage' => 'India','stopage_fee' => 5000);
array('stopage' => 'US','stopage_fee' => 50000);
array('stopage' => 'Nepal','stopage_fee' => 2000);
How to populate back these values in my current form by using any loop or something else.
Thanks.
There is a method getSubForms in Zend_Form, you can use it.
Also, I would recommend you to take a look at the following article http://framework.zend.com/manual/1.11/en/zend.form.advanced.html. I guess it's exactly what you are looking for.
I am creating a magento custom admin module and a form. I want update this form but not updating. In Controller, under SaveAction() I print $this->getRequest()->getPost() and get empty array. please help me. Below code for form declination..
protected function _prepareForm() {
$form = new Varien_Data_Form(array(
'id' => 'edit_form1',
'action' => $this->getUrl('*/*/save', array('id' => $this->getRequest()->getParam('id'))),
'method' => 'post',
'enctype' => 'multipart/form-data'
)
);
$form->setUseContainer(true);
$this->setForm($form);
return parent::_prepareForm();
}
And Create a from filed set like
protected function _prepareForm() {
$form = new Varien_Data_Form();
$this->setForm($form);
$fieldset = $form->addFieldset('qbanner_form', array('legend' => Mage::helper('qbanner')->__('Art information')));
$fieldset->addField('name', 'text', array(
'label' => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Product'),
'required' => false,
'name' => 'name',
));
$fieldset->addField('artist_name', 'text', array(
'label' => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Artist Name'),
// 'name' => 'artist_name',
'value' => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Art Name value'),
));
$fieldset->addField('bca_status', 'select', array(
'label' => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Art status'),
'name' => 'bca_status',
'values' =>$this->_getAttributeOptions('bca_status'),
));
$fieldset->addField('reason', 'editor', array(
'name' => 'reason',
'label' => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Reason'),
'title' => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Reason'),
'style' => 'width:440px; height:300px;',
'wysiwyg' => true,
'required' => false,
));
$fieldset->addField('thumbnail', 'text', array(
'label' => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Art status'),
'name' => 'thumbnail',
//'values' =>$this->_getAttributeOptions('thumbnail'),
//'renderer' => 'Qaz_Qbanner_Block_Adminhtml_Qbanner_Grid_Renderer_Image'
));
if (Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->getQbannerData()) {
$form->setValues(Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->getQbannerData());
Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->setQbannerData(null);
} elseif (Mage::registry('qbanner_data')) {
$form->setValues(Mage::registry('qbanner_data')->getData());
}
return parent::_prepareForm();
}
protected function _getAttributeOptions($attribute_code)
{
$attribute = Mage::getModel('eav/config')->getAttribute('catalog_product', $attribute_code);
$options = array();
foreach( $attribute->getSource()->getAllOptions(true, true) as $option ) {
$options[$option['value']] = $option['label'];
}
return $options;
}
Here my
SaveAction()
public function saveAction() {
echo print_r( $this->getRequest()->getPost());
}
I have tied verious post. Any ideas?
Common error for all. You just need to add form key to your form.
Just add this line below your form declaration.
<input type="hidden" name="form_key" value="<?php echo Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getFormKey(); ?>" />
Like this
<form action="<?php echo Mage::helper("adminhtml")->getUrl("demo/adminhtml_demo/demo");?>" method="post" id="custom-payment-form" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="form_key" value="<?php echo Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getFormKey(); ?>" />
Add this. Now you can get parameters by $this->getRequest()->getPost().
you can get variable of post and get method in magento with $this->getRequest()->getParams(); getParams() method But if you want to get exactly some variable data then use getParam('id');
/magento/catalog/product/view/id/406/category/14
$this->getRequest()->getParam('id') // 406
$this->getRequest()->getParams(); //get all get and post variables
I have a zend form:
// Email
$email = $this->createElement('text', 'email');
$email->setLabel('Адрес электронной почты:')
->addValidator('EmailAddress')
->addValidator('StringLength', FALSE, array(6, 30))
->setRequired(TRUE);
// Пароль
$password = $this->createElement('password', 'password');
$password->setLabel('Пароль:')
->addValidator('StringLength', FALSE, array(6, 30))
->setRequired(TRUE);
// Шрифт капчи
$fonts = scandir(APPLICATION_PATH . '/other/fonts/');
$font = APPLICATION_PATH . '/other/fonts/' . $fonts[rand(2, sizeof($fonts) - 1)];
// Инициализация капчи
$captcha = new Zend_Form_Element_Captcha(
md5($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] . date('d.m.Y')),
array('label' => 'Введите код с картинки:',
'required' => TRUE,
'captcha' => array(
'captcha' => 'Image',
'FontSize' => rand(25, 30),
'wordLen' => rand(4, 6),
'timeout' => 300,
'font' => $font,
'imgDir' => 'img/captcha/',
'imgUrl' => '/img/captcha/',
)));
$submit = $this->createElement('submit', 'submit_button', array(
'label' => 'Enter',
));
And I have a my own html code for this form, it contained in view script, but captcha element is dynamic. Is there any way to display only captcha element html code? Like this:
<!-- my html code -->
<?php $this->myForm->captcha; ?>
<!-- my html code -->
Thanks.
yes you can use like below
You need to pass the form to your view script to make it work.
public function someAction()
{
$this->view->form = new Form_Name(); // form class name
}
in your view script you can receive the elements via
<table>
<tr>
<td><?= $this->form->getElement('captcha'); ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
let me know if i can help you more.
I have two contact forms in my CakePHP application -- one with its own Controller, Model, and View, and another one in an element that can be accessed as a "quick" contact form from the footer of every page on the site.
The code for both forms is the same. The element is intended to access the Controller and Model that the other form uses. However, the element is not submitting the data or sending the email, while the regular page works just fine.
Here is the MVC Code for the regular form that IS working:
<!-- Model: Model/Contact.php -->
<?php
class Contact extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Contacts';
public $useTable = false; // Not using the database, of course.
var $validate = array(
'name' => array(
'rule' => '/.+/',
'allowEmpty' => false,
'required' => true,
),
'email' => array(
'allowEmpty' => false,
'required' => true,
)
);
function schema() {
return array (
'name' => array('type' => 'string', 'length' => 60, 'class' => 'contact input'),
'email' => array('type' => 'string', 'length' => 60, 'class' => 'contact input'),
'message' => array('type' => 'text', 'length' => 2000, 'class' => 'contact input'),
);
}
}
?>
<!-- Controller: Controller/ContactsController.php -->
class ContactsController extends AppController
{
var $name = 'Contacts';
/* var $uses = 'Contact'; */
var $helpers = array('Html', 'Form', 'Js');
var $components = array('Email', 'Session');
public function index() {
if(isset($this->data['Contact'])) {
$userEmail = $this->data['Contact']['email'];
$userMessage = $this->data['Contact']['message'];
$email = new CakeEmail();
$email->from(array($userEmail));
$email->to('email#example.com');
$email->subject('Website Contact Form Submission');
$email->send($userMessage);
if ($email->send($userMessage)) {
$this->Session->setFlash('Thank you for contacting us');
}
else {
$this->Session->setFlash('Mail Not Sent');
}
}
}
public function contact() {
if(isset($this->data['Contact'])) {
$userEmail = $this->data['Contact']['email'];
$userMessage = $this->data['Contact']['message'];
$email = new CakeEmail();
$email->from(array($userEmail));
$email->to('email#example.com');
$email->subject('Website Contact Form Submission');
$email->send($userMessage);
if ($email->send($userMessage)) {
$this->Session->setFlash('Thank you for contacting us');
// $this->redirect(array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'index'));
}
else {
$this->Session->setFlash('Mail Not Sent');
}
}
}
}
?>
<!-- View: Views/Contacts/index.ctp -->
<?
$main = 'contact';
$title = 'quick contact';
?>
<div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #ccc;">
<h1 style="position:relative; float:left;"><?php echo $main; ?></h1>
<h2 style="position:relative;float:left;margin-top:15px; color: #869c38"> • <?php echo $title;?></h2>
<br><br>
</div>
<div class="clear"><br></div>
<div id="interior-page">
<?php
echo $this->Form->create('Contact');
echo $this->Form->input('name', array('default' => 'name (required)', 'onfocus' => 'clearDefault(this)'));
echo $this->Form->input('email', array('default' => 'email (required)', 'onfocus' => 'clearDefault(this)'));
echo $this->Form->input('message', array('default' => 'message', 'onfocus' => 'clearDefault(this)'));
echo $this->Form->submit();
echo $this->Form->end();
?>
</div>
And here is the view for the quick contact form that is NOT working, located in an element displayed in the footer of the default layout:
<?php
echo $this->Form->create('Contact');
echo $this->Form->input('name', array('default' => 'name (required)', 'onfocus' => 'clearDefault(this)'));
echo $this->Form->input('email', array('default' => 'email (required)', 'onfocus' => 'clearDefault(this)'));
echo $this->Form->input('message', array('default' => 'message', 'onfocus' => 'clearDefault(this)'));
echo $this->Form->submit();
echo $this->Form->end();
?>
I tried different ways of changing the form action, but I couldn't figure that out.
Usually, cake "automagically" creates the action of the form based on where you call it from E.g. if called from the view Views/Contacts/index.ctp, it will set the action to /contacts/index. In case of an element, Cake can't really guess what you're trying to do, so you need to set the action manually:
$this->Form->create('Contact', array('action' => 'index'));
Or set the full URL alternatively:
$this->Form->create('Contact', array('url' => '/contacts/index'));
Make sure you're including the Contact model for use on every page you need to create that form. In your case, since it's in your layout, that likely means you should put it in your AppController, so every page has access to it.
You also need to specify where the form should submit to:
echo $this->Form->create('Contact', array(
'url' => array('controller'=>'contacts', 'action'=>'contact')
)
);
Off-note - You can combine the last 2 lines:
echo $this->Form->end('Submit');
This creates the submit button with text "Submit" and also closes the form.
Thanks for this! It helped me a lot.
Just a quick thing, you're sending the email twice.
Once here:
$email->send($userMessage);
And again here:
if ($email->send($userMessage))
The first instance ($email->send($userMessage)) isn't necessary.
Cheers
