I have a form with a single text field.
On submit I would like to display another form.
I can use RESPONSE.redirect() and pass it in the query string but I would rather not.
I don't want to use a SESSION variable.
I would like to display a second form which can read this value from the request variable.
I have looked at collective.z3cform.wizard but it is not obvious how to do this.
Trying to call the view() from the button handler does not seem to have any effect.
I fall in the same lack of functionality.
For what I know, z3c.form does not support this kind of traversing.
You may remember that this functionality worked well with CMFFormController.
Actually to do this, cmfformcontroller used session machinery.
So, you don't want to use session but that's the way. At least I do so, and I'm happy.
In this way there's no need of a wrapping tool like z3c.form.wizard.
hth,
alessandro.
collective.singing has a non-session based wizard which uses hidden fields to store results of intermediate steps.

I am looking for best practices on SYMFONY FORM handling to achieve the following standard page (surprisingly I haven't found anything similar existing yet on SO).
Here is a shema of what I want to achieve:
As you can see at the top there is a SYMFONY FORM to filter the results that should be displayed.
It displays a table and each tuple of the table should permit to open another SYMFONY FORM kind linked to the tuple.
I am in the process of learning SYMFONY FORM, so far, I can manage to create the top row FORM to set the filter that'll apply to the table display.
But I wonder if anyone has experience on the second part: Displaying the table that embed as well many forms of a similar kind -That seems a bit more complex. I read about TWIG.EXTENSION and FORM.COLLECTION, I'll investigate that. But if someone could save me to re-invent the wheel and lead me to some direct shortcut, I'd be really grateful.
No idea if it's the best practice, but one way to do it would be to create a new property for your entity being listed in this table, called $editionForm (without mapping it to the database) for example.
Then, either throught a custom loop or by listening to a doctrine (or any ORM you use) hydration event (or triggering such an event if you don't use any ORM), fill the property with the generated form, probably within a dedicated service.
Then, just use it in your template like this :
$entity->getEditionForm()->render()
if we use setEnabled(false) say on text input type it disables and not take part in form validation so how can i enoforce this right before onsubmit
As a general rule browsers do not submit the value of disabled fields at all. (As mandated by the HTML standard)
It's important to see that because of the browser sending no data, the problem is framework-neutral. The solution is also independent of your framework:
Double-fielding: each text field that you intend to disable should have a "shadow" hidden field where its value is copied.
In the Javascript function that does the submitting you can re-enable the fields for the time of submit only. I haven't tried this option yet so I'm not sure if this is a good idea or indeed if it works (it should though).
A separate, Wicket-specific issue is that even if the browser submits the values, any Wicket component which has setEnabled(false) called will refuse to process them. So you'll have to extend double-fielding into your Wicket component structure as well, which won't look very nice.
So it's doable but you should know that users will not expect disabled fields to be submitted and you're likely to cause confusion by changing the standard behaviour of form inputs. You might want to think about redesigning your UI as an alternative option.
If the component is disabled it won't have any input to be validated. I'll assume from now on that you want to execute a FormValidator which involves some other components' user input and this disabled TextField's model object.
Unless you return the disabled TextField in FormValidator.getDependentFormComponents(), the FormValidator will continue to execute. Take into account that FormComponent.getConvertedInput() won't return anything, because there's no input. You can get the Modelobject instead by using FormComponent.getValue().
I need set value in Hidden inputfield of my webpage, I am using Selenium 2.
I tried with webelement.sendKeys(value), but its not working.
Can anybody tell me how to do this ?
Thanks.
That question seems a little bit out of the box. Selenium is simulating user-based interactions. So, that's pointless to expecting from a user editing hidden elements on the page. But may be you should say why do you need this and what are you trying to do with this function, it can be more easy to finding some workarounds for it.
You can't modify the hidden object using element methods. Instead, send script to the driver:
#driver.execute_script("document.getElementById('context-menu-upload').value=#{value}")
Here is the documentation: execute_script(script, *args)
To use xpath instead, try this:
Is there a way to get element by XPath using JavaScript in Selenium WebDriver?
In my Manager controller's add action I want to intercept the form submission, perform a search using the submitted data, and (if the query returns any results) display a list of results to the user.
My question is: what is the best way to display the results to the user? Should I just redirect to a different action (say search), or is there a nice way to display the data while remaining in the add action (session flash maybe)?
I know this can easily be done with the ajaxHelper and I am approaching this from that angle too, but I also need this functionality for my non-javascript users.
Any ideas appreciated!
badp,
you could just have a look at one of the generated (by cake bake controller ..., resp. cake bake view) controller methods named edit and look at the dataflow there.
It should be easy to adept it to your needs from there, as you can compare the dataflow and its outcome visually.
I want to know if there is a way to submit a form but at the same time keep the values selected and edited(without reset).
Thanks.
One is to use ajax.
Your question is very vague... You will likely need to use PHP (cookies) to store the entries / changes.
In ASP.Net MVC, you may set the page with the form to submit to inherit an instance of a class which properties are set automatically.
In order to keep the values after the submit, you just have to place the object model as the same object that you received as an argument in the action, like this return View("ViewName", object).
But anyway, your question could have been a little more specific. Hope that if you are using .Net, this may be useful.
