In an angular form with pre-populated value, I would want to create an object that is consist of fields that are dirty and valid, that is when user change the holder value and that change is valid.
I have no problem with simple validation, as I found some examples in the doc, but how can one handle such an object that is conditioned on dirty and valid?
I found good example where we can see validation status:

Hope it will help you,

When I submit my form I am getting an error from my cfinsert function because there is not a database column name "SEARCHFIELD". The problem is "SEARCHFIELD" is not an input in the form I am submitting.
Both forms have close and open tags so I am not sure why my search form input is being referenced in my main forms submission?
Any thoughts?
Two ways I can think of to avoid this, without seeing your actual code it is hard to guess where SEARCHFIELD is coming from. As some of the comments pointed out it would most likely be from a CFPARAM or the name of your submit button in the form.
The first way you could tackle this is the CFINSERT tag has an attribute named formfields where you can list off the columns you wish to insert with. You can see that here in this doc link:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/CFMLRef/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24-7c78.html
Another way you could do this is you could add code to remove SEARCHFIELD from the FORM scope prior to running the CFINSERT. Which would be as simple as:
<cfset StructDelete(FORM, "SEARCHFIELD") />
You could check to see if it exists and if so then delete it but the StructDelete() will run without issues even if the field does not exist.
I personally do not use CFINSERT/CFUPDATE and I know the default opinion in the community is not to. They do have some benefits though that often are overlooked in that they do parameterise the SQL and offer at least some safety from malicious people. Without knowing anything about what you are doing it is hard to say if using them is actually a shot in your foot in the long run or something just fine to be doing.
I'm working with Symfony2 to set up a form, where a Shelf-Entity can be edited.
A shelf contains a collection of Readable-Entities (e.g. Book, Magazine, etc. - all inherit from Readable).
The user has the possibility to add more Readable-Entities (the form is extended via JavaScript) and from a dropdown he can select the type of Readable he wants to add. Depending on the selected dropdown-value, different form fields are rendered. So far so good.
Now, when the form is submitted to the server, depending on the Readable-Type the user selected in the form, a different entity-type should be instantiated.
If I don't do anything, Symfony just instantiates the base class Readable (and not Book, Magazine, etc.).
How can I tell Symfony to instantiate the correct type of Readable depending on the selected value from the dropdown?
I tried with FormEvent-Listeners, but:
in PRE_SUBMIT I only get an array containing the "raw" form data with $event->getData(), i.e. no entities have been instatiated so far. However, at this stage, I still have access to value of the dropdown.
in SUBMIT the form data was already assigned to the appropriate entities. Also the new Readable was already instatiated with the base Readable-Class. But now, I cannot access anymore the value from the dropdown.
What is the correct way to do this?
EDIT
Added a minimal Code-Example for the Shelf FormType:

Code for infinite_form_polycollection:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/b5f0ed10ca9c52177f01
Have you tried looking at this part of the doc? As "embedding a form" seems to fit your needs.
It seems that there was something wrong with the PHP-Files of the PolyCollection in the vendor-directory, because after removing everything related to the Infinite Form Bundle from the vendor-dir and reinstalling it with composer, everything is working now. But thanks for your efforts YoannCh
I am facing a special scenario here on some of my forms.
I have settled a permission system over some fields many of which are required.
When removing the permission to view the field on a form, I set:
$field->setDecorators('disableLoadDefaultDecorators', true);
The problem in that case is that I get prompted with the validation error over the required field, which is logical.
The other option would be to set the $field to hidden but the issue turns to become an html problem where any person can retrieve the hidden value through the source code.
Hopefully someone can offer me a suggestion on how to hide the element from the form and metadata but return it on form validation as if it was displayed.
Thank you in advance!
Change the field validation rules so that it is not required:
$field->setRequired(false)->setDecorators('disableLoadDefaultDecorators', true);
Could anyone advice on the correct way to retrieve and check the value of a textfield with Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase? The assert conditions are fine for css selectors, but I cannot see a way of checking that a textfield or other form element is correctly populated? any clues much appreciated!
you should validate data entry with Zend_Validate (which is part of the production code). you then would unit test that the value is retrieved correctly after it was stored in the DB.
I'm creating my form using the Form helper, so the action of the form is specified automatically....
this form is used for editing a post..
so, the URL has the structure: mywebsite.com/posts/edit/id
and the form's action should be automatically generated as posts/edit/id
but the problem is, in some cases, I open the HTML code and I find that the form's action is only posts/edit without the id which causes the update to fail...
I spent a lot of time to figure out what situation brings this wrong action:
i'm generating fields dynamically (using javascript & ajax) depending on the post's category..
when the value of one of the dynamically generated fields is invalid, the generated action becomes posts/edit !!
I really need help, cuz I don't know why this is happening !!!
and I don't wanna waste more time digging into the core of cakephp...
so, if any of cakephp experts has an idea about this, plz help me !!
thank you in advance !
Use the url parameter, which allows you to explicitly define a url for the form:
echo $form->create('Post', array('url' => $html->url(array('action'=>'edit', $id))));
It sounds like $id probably isn't getting set, because it should be getting passed along if it is. You need to make sure it's set to edit the record in question. Make sure your javascript is including the hidden field with the record's id in it.
Normally done like this, with the form helper: echo $this->Form->input('id');
Also, if one of the fields is invalid, the form shouldn't actually be submitting properly, if you are using cake's validation, so this is to be expected.
