according to this post: Zend Framework 2 - Form Element Decorators , i've tried the solution from iroybot (thanks to him) and it worked.
but new problem occurs. Here the details:
In the render method in FormCollection.php (View Helper) i throw object like this:
<?php
namespace Cust\View\Helper;
use Zend\Form\ElementInterface;
use Zend\Form\View\Helper\FormCollection as BaseFormCollection;
class FormCollection extends BaseFormCollection
{
public function render(ElementInterface $element)
{
return sprintf('<table class="table table-condensed">%s</table>',parent::render($element));
}
}
and in the render method in FormElement.php (View Helper), i throw :
<?php
namespace Cust\View\Helper;
use Zend\Form\ElementInterface;
use Zend\Form\View\Helper\FormElement as BaseFormElement;
class FormElement extends BaseFormElement
{
public function render(ElementInterface $element)
{
$req = '';
if($element->getOption('required')){
$req = 'required';
}
return sprintf('<tr><td>%s</td><td>%s</td> </tr>',$element->getLabel(),parent::render($element));
}
}
and the form render in the table perfectly. but before table, the label show in the tag label. so the label display twice, first in span tag, and the second in the row of the table...
i don't know how to solve this..
please give me advice..
thanks
bestregards

I currently have a custom form field with a bunch of optional parameters in the constructor. I want to change this and have the field use setter functions but I can't find any way to include my templated JavaScript except during construction
class CustomField extends FormField {
protected $myField;
public function __construct($name, $title = null, $myField = null)
{
parent::__construct($name, $title);
$this->setMyField($myField);
Requirements::javascriptTemplate('path/to/script.js', ['Field' => $this->myField]);
}
/**
* I can update the value of myField but the value is already baked into the JavaScript and wont be updated
*/
public function setMyField($value) {
$this->myField = $value;
return $this;
}
I found a solution but it does feel a little hacky. I added a RequireJs() function to the form field as such:
<?php
function RequireJs() {
Requirements::javascriptTemplate('path/to/script.js', ['Field' => $this->myField]);
}
The added $RequireJs to the top of my template file so it would be called when the template is being rendered.
What I want to do with Zend Framework is to render the action Y from the action X and to obtain the html:
Example:
public xAction(){
$html = some_function_that_render_action('y');
}
public yAction(){
$this->view->somedata = 'sometext';
}
where the y view is something like:
<h1>Y View</h1>
<p>Somedata = <?php echo $this->somedata ?></p>
I fount the action helper, but I cannot use it from a controller. How can I solve it?
It is possible?
Here is one possible way to do what you want.
public function xAction()
{
$this->_helper
->viewRenderer
->setRender('y'); // render y.phtml viewscript instead of x.phtml
$this->yAction();
// now yAction has been called and zend view will render y.phtml instead of x.phtml
}
public function yAction()
{
// action code here that assigns to the view.
}
Instead of using the ViewRenderer to set the view script to use, you could also call yAction as I showed above, but get the html by calling $html = $this->view->render('controller/y.phtml');
See also the ActionStack helper.
You can use the Action View Helper from the controller
public function xAction()
{
$html = $this->view->action(
'y',
$this->getRequest()->getControllerName(),
null,
$this->getRequest()->getParams()
);
}
public function yAction()
{
// action code here that assigns to the view.
}
It's not very beautiful but it works well and you don't have to use $view->setScriptPath($this->view->getScriptPaths());
This helper creates a new Zend_Controller_Request for yAction(), so you can give your own parameters as 4th argument or use $this->getRequest()->getParams() to spread the request parameters of xAction().
http://framework.zend.com/manual/1.12/en/zend.view.helpers.html#zend.view.helpers.initial.action
Finally I found this "solution", it's not what I want to do, but it works, if someone found the real solution, please answer here.
public function xAction(){
$data = $this->_prepareData();
$view = new Zend_View();
$view->somedata = $data;
$view->setScriptPath($this->view->getScriptPaths());
$html = $view->render('controller/y.phtml');
}
I've just (as in today) started working on some ZF stuff.
I have a Form that needs to have some text in a div appear at the top of the form, but I have no idea how to include it.
The structure of the form is:
class MyForm extends \app\forms\FormType {
public function init() {
// gets all the form elements of the parent
parent::init();
// A few additional form elements for MyForm created here
}
}
Any help would be apprecaited!
In your controller where you instantiate the form object just set it with the view object like this:
public function actionNameAction()
{
// ...
if (/* some condition to check form page */) {
$this->view->divText = 'your text';
}
}
Then put the div in the action-name.phtml script:
views/scripts/controller/action-name.phtml
Contents:
<?php if (!empty($this->divText)): ?>
<div><?php echo $this->divText; ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>
Additionally, you could pass the view object by reference to your form class. Just overload the construct function like so:
public function __construct($options = null, &$view)
{
parent::__construct($options);
$this->view = $view;
}
Then in your controller when you instantiate your form object do this:
$form = new MyForm(null, $this->view);
Let's go back to your form class once again and modify the init() method:
public function init()
{
// ...
$this->view->divText = 'Text set from within ' . __CLASS__;
}
Using this way, you won't have to put any conditional if statements checking anything in the controller. You're already checking if $this->divText is not empty in the view, so by passing the view object to your form class you can ensure that that text will only be set when the form is being used.
So I've created myself a custom form element which has a custom view helper. Now I want to be able to set certain parameters/variables on this form element and be able to access them in my element's view helper. How can I do that?
Here's an example of what I am talking about:
adding the element to the form:
$element = new My_Form_Element_Picker('elementname');
$element->setFoobar('hello');
// or
$form->addElement('Picker', 'elementname', array('foobar' => 'hello'));
form element:
class My_Form_Element_Picker extends Zend_Form_Element_Xhtml
{
public $helper = 'pickerElement';
}
view helper:
class My_View_Helper_PickerElement extends Zend_View_Helper_FormElement
{
public function pickerElement($name, $value = null, $attribs = null)
{
//now I want to check if the 'foobar' option was set, otherwise use a default value
$foobar = 'default';
}
}
There is a fourth optional argument to the view helper that might do the trick for you.
if you define your view helper like this:
public function pickerElement( $name, $value=null, $attribs=null, $options=null ) { }
And then inside your actual form element you define it like this:
class My_Form_Element_Picker extends Zend_Form_Element_Xhtml {
public $helper = 'pickerElement';
public $options = array();
public function setFoobar( $foobar ) {
$this->options['foobar'] = $foobar;
}
}
You will find that the options are passed into the view helper and can be used.
This code is from memory so please forgive any mistakes, this method definitely works for me though.
I want to display a page that has 2 forms. The top form is unique to this page, but the bottom form can already be rendered from a different controller. I'm using the following code to call the action of the other form but keep getting this error:
"Message: id is not specified"
#0 .../library/Zend/Controller/Router/Rewrite.php(441): Zend_Controller_Router_Route->assemble(Array, true, true)
My code:
First controller:
abc_Controller
public function someAction()
{
$this->_helper->actionStack('other','xyz');
}
Second controller:
xyz_Controller
public function otherAction()
{
// code
}
Desired results:
When calling /abc/some, i want to render the "some" content along with the xyz/other content. I think I followed the doc correctly (http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.controller.actionhelpers.html) but can't find any help on why that error occurs. When I trace the code (using XDebug), the xyz/other action completes ok but when the abc/some action reaches the end, the error is thrown somewhere during the dispatch or the routing.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
You can accomplish this in your phtml for your someAction. So in some.phtml put <?php echo $this->action('other','xyz');?> this will render the form found in the otherAction of XyzController
The urge to do something like this is an indication you're going about it in totally the wrong way. If you have the urge to re-use content, it should likely belong in the model. If it is truly controller code it should be encapsulated by an action controller plugin
In phtml file u can use the $this->action() ; to render the page and that response would be added to current response ..
The syntax for action is as follows::
public function action($action, $controller, $module = null, array $params = array())
You can create new object with second controller and call its method (but it`s not the best way).
You can extend your first controller with the second one and call $this->methodFromSecond(); - it will render second form too with its template.
BTW - what type of code you want to execute in both controllers ?
Just an update. The error had absolutely nothing to do with how the action was being called from the second controller. It turns out that in the layout of the second controller, there was a separate phtml call that was throwing the error (layout/abc.phtml):
<?php echo $this->render('userNavigation.phtml') ?>
line of error:
echo $this->navigation()->menu()->renderMenu(...)
I'll be debugging this separately as not to muddy this thread.
Thanks to Akeem and hsz for the prompt response. I learned from your responses.
To summarize, there were 3 different ways to call an action from an external controller:
Instantiate the second controller from the first controller and call the action.
Use $this->_helper->actionStack
In the phtml of the first controller, action('other','xyz');?> (as Akeem pointed out above)
Hope this helps other Zend noobs out there.
Hm I can't find and idea why you need to use diffrent Controlers for one view. Better practise is to have all in one Controller. I using this like in this example
DemoController extends My_Controller_Action() {
....
public function indexAction() {
$this->view->oForm = new Form_Registration();
}
}
My_Controller_Action extends Zend_Controller_Action() {
public function init() {
parent::init();
$this->setGeneralStuf();
}
public function setGeneralStuf() {
$this->view->oLoginForm = new Form_Login();
}
}
This kind of route definition:
routes.abc.route = "abc/buy/:id/*"
routes.abc.defaults.controller = "deal"
routes.abc.defaults.action = "buy"
routes.abc.reqs.id = "\d+"
requires a parameter in order to function. You can do this with actionStack but you can also specify a default id in case that none is provided:
$this->_helper->actionStack('Action',
'Controller',
'Route',
array('param' => 'value')
);
routes.abc.defaults.id = "1"
For Me this worked like a charm
class abcController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
public function dashBoardAction()
{
$this->_helper->actionStack('list-User-Data', 'xyz');
}
}
class XyzController extends Zend_Controller_Action {
public function listUserDataAction()
{
$data = array('red','green','blue','yellow');
return $data;
}
}
