I created a create_form in the controller without adding submit button.
$createForm = $this->createForm(new SlideCreate(), $slide, array(
'action' => $this->generateUrl('ws_admin_slide_create'),
'method' => 'POST',
'attr' => array(
'id' => 'create_form',
'class' => 'form-vertical'),)
);
I use a link to submit my form
<a onclick="document.forms['create_form'].submit();" class="btn green">
The problem is that local validation of the form doesn't work(Client-Side).

So I'm trying to send a few pieces of data from a form in cake's form builder but for some reason none of the data being submitted is showing up when I print out $this->data or $this->request->data
I've tried creating the form myself and using cake's Form Builder and I need to send this data via POST. The data shows up if I send it as a GET parameter.
view.ctp
echo $this->Form->create(null, array('action' => 'downloadbgc', 'type' => 'get'));
echo $this->Form->input('userId', ['type' => 'text' , 'id' => 'userId', 'name' => 'userId', 'value' => $user->id]);
echo $this->Form->input('product_id', ['type' => 'hidden' , 'id' => 'product_id', 'name' => 'product_id', 'value' => $user->product_id]);
echo $this->Form->submit('Download PDF', array('class' => 'btn btn-icon btn-primary', 'title' => 'Download'));
echo $this->Form->end();
controller.php
...
public function downloadbgc() {
$this->autoRender = false;
print_r("Data: ");
print_r($this->data); die();
}
}
...
When printing this out I get Data: Array() instead of Array('userId' => X, 'product_id' => Y) And I'm positive that these values aren't null since they print to the console.
Use the FormHelper's create() in a correct way:
echo $this->Form->create(false, ['url' => 'downloadbgc']);
echo $this->Form->input('userId', ['type' => 'text' , 'id' => 'userId', 'name' => 'userId', 'value' => 123]);
echo $this->Form->input('product_id', ['type' => 'hidden' , 'id' => 'product_id', 'name' => 'product_id', 'value' => 4456]);
echo $this->Form->submit('Download PDF', array('class' => 'btn btn-icon btn-primary', 'title' => 'Download'));
echo $this->Form->end();
Like the Docs point out the create() method can take the Model as first parameter or false, if you want to access the data without Model. Also use the url option as action is deprecated
In your Controller you can then use $this->request->data to access your data.
I am trying to make a combo box for an edit page.
echo $this->Form->select('status',
['empty' => 'Select Status'],
['class' => 'form-control', 'required']
);
Here I want to add 2 things :
$options = array('0' => 'Inactive',
'1' => 'Active',
);
and selected value. suppose that is $status;
I tried with different options but sometime it do not add classes and sometime it shows options in tag
It will be great if somebody give clue.
Thanks
<?= $this->Form->input('status', [
'type' => 'select',
'options' => ['0' => __('Inactive') , '1' => __('Active')],
'empty' => __('Select Status'),
'class' => 'form-control',
'required' => true, 'label' => __('Type')
])
?>
I am creating form inputs with the CakePHP Form helper and some inputs (Most of the time 'username' and 'password') are being autocompleted on create actions, login actions, etc.. this is annoying. I am guessing those are just more common so the browser is using its cookies to try to complete the inputs.
Anyways.. how do I disable this?
In my view:
...
echo $this->Form->input('username', array(
'label' => 'Please enter your username',
'class' => 'pure-u-1-2'
));
echo $this->Form->input('password', array(
'label' => 'Please enter your password',
'class' => 'pure-u-1-2'
));
...
What am I missing?
You can specify attributes to be sent to the form helper. Specify the attribute 'autocomplete' and set its value to 'off'.
...
echo $this->Form->input('username', array(
'label' => 'Please enter your username',
'class' => 'pure-u-1-2',
'autocomplete' => 'off'
));
echo $this->Form->input('password', array(
'label' => 'Please enter your password',
'class' => 'pure-u-1-2',
'autocomplete' => 'off'
));
...
Which results in something like this for your HTML:
<input name="data[Model][username]" autocomplete="off" class="pure-u-1-2" id="ModelUsername" type="text">
You may also do this on the whole form instead of just each input. Just specify the same attribute and value in the form create like so:
...
echo $this->Form->create('Model', array(
'class' => 'class',
'autocomplete' => 'off'
));
This will give you something like this in your HTML:
<form action=".../Model/Action" class="class" autocomplete="off" id="ModelActionForm" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">
NOTE Several browsers will now ignore autocomplete="off" or autocomplete="false". The workaround is to place a hidden text and password field before all other inputs on your form. The browsers will fill those instead of the ones you want to leave alone.
The best solution is to use autocomplete = new-password
It works great in Chrome and Firefox
Like this:
$this->Form->input('password', array('type' => 'password', 'autocomplete' => 'new-password'));
Hi I am new in zend framework.
I want to set ready only property on input box in zend Form.
example as we do in html
<input type ="text" readonly="readonly" />
this is my zend code:
$this->addElement('text', 'name', array(
'label' => '',
'required' => true,
'filters' => array('StringTrim'),
'style' => array('width:338px'),
'autocomplete' => 'off',
'decorators'=>Array(
'ViewHelper',
'Errors',
),
help mee
Try this
$this->getElement('text')->setAttrib('readonly', 'readonly');
Try something like this:
$this->addElement('text','text_field',array('attribs' => array('readonly' => 'true')));
In ZF2 you can create a form by extending Zend\Form and then add form element in the constructor. there you can set the attributes as follows.
use Zend\Form\Form;
class MyForm extends Form {
public function __construct() {
$this->add(array(
'name' => 'name',
'type' => 'Text',
'attributes' => array(
'id' => 'name',
'class' => 'form-control',
'readonly' => TRUE,
),
'options' => array(
'label' => 'Name : '
)
));
}
}
Does anyone know how to display two radio buttons in a form in CakePHP and have them save to a boolean field in the DB?
I can get my boolean value to display as a checkbox (default behaviour) but I need to display two radio buttons, however when I do this the changes don't get saved to the DB.
I feel like it's something very simple. Here's my code:
<h1>Edit Content</h1>
<?php
$thisVal = $this->data['LessonContent']['is_exercise'] ? "1" : "0";
$options = array(
'0' => 'Learning Material',
'1' => 'Exercise'
);
echo $this->Form->create('LessonContent', array('action'=>'edit'));
echo $this->Form->input('name', array('label' => 'Name'));
echo $this->Form->input('description', array('label' => 'Description'));
echo $this->Form->input('is_exercise', array(
'type' => 'radio',
'class' => 'radio',
'legend' => false,
'name' => 'Type',
'options' => $options,
'value' => $thisVal
));
echo $this->Form->input('id', array('type'=>'hidden'));
echo $this->Form->input('lesson_id', array('type'=>'hidden'));
echo $this->Form->end('Save Content');
echo $this->Html->link('Cancel', array('controller'=>'Lessons', 'action'=>'view', $this->data['Lesson']['id']));
?>
Thanks
You're overriding the name of the input, therefore the value for is_excercise will be sent as Type.
Remove the name option;
echo $this->Form->input('is_exercise', array(
'type' => 'radio',
'class' => 'radio',
'legend' => false,
'options' => $options,
'value' => $thisVal
));
note after making this change, you probably don't even have to manually set the value of the radio-button.
debugging
In situations like this, always check/debug the posted form-data, either via FireBug or by debugging it in CakePHP, by putting this in your controller;
debug($this->request);
Even better, install the CakePHP DebugKit Plugin this plugin shows all the information (request data, queries, session variables etc.) without having to add debug-lines
