I have this form with a date input.
echo $this->Form->create('Nodata');
echo $this->Form->input('date1', array('type' => 'date', 'label' => 'From:'));
echo $this->Form->input('date2', array('type' => 'date', 'label' => 'To:'));
echo $this->Form->end('Get Hours');
When the form is submitted, I'm showing the results in the same view, below the form.
My problem is I have a link that is not part of the form and need to read the value (in the view) from the date field on the form to use it as a param
on this link.
// date1 is the param I need to take the value from date input
<th> <?php echo $this->Html->link(__('Agents Detail'), array('controller' => 'qcas', 'action' => 'hours', 'paramProject' => $hour['Qca']['dir_id'], 'date1' => $this->data)); ?> </th>
Note this link is outside the form and I need a way to read a input on the form to use as param in my link.
Instead of just using $this->data for your date1 element, you need to refer the field in the $this->data object.
CakePHP < 2.0
'date1' => $this->data['Nodata']['date1']
CakePHP 2.0+
'date1' => $this->request->data['Nodata']['date1']
I'm not sure what you're trying to do at the destination link, but you may need to format the date as well:
'date1' => date('Y-m-d', $this->request->data['Nodata']['date1']) // you may need strtotime

I'm developing a website using cakephp 2.x.
Now, I create a form using Cakedc/search. This form has input(select/dropdown list).
But the list is too long, so I want the dropdown to be view as unordered list (< ul >< li >).
Like in the lazada (search for brand): http://www.lazada.com.my/womens-watches-bags-accessories/.
the code:
<?php echo $this->Form->create('Product', array(
'url' => array_merge(array('action' => 'search'), $this->params['pass'])));
echo $this->Form->input('brand_id', array('label' => 'Brand', 'options' => $brands, 'empty' => 'Select Brand'));
<?php echo $this->Form->submit(__('Search', true), array('div' => false));
echo $this->Form->end();
?>
Please someone help me. Thanks in advance..
You'll have to use javascript to get the id of the clicked li element or the link inside, use data attributes for that for example. Then set this value to a hidden form field or directly submit the whole form using ajax to update your results.
Your example URL is a simple list by the way that is just doing redirect on click.
I've searched the web and have come up with nothing. (Multiple search engines too - I have looked!)
I'm trying to have a text link as the 'form submit' button. Any ideas if this is possible in CakePHP?
Current view code below!
<?php
echo $this->Form->create('trainees', array(
'action' => 'reassign'
));
echo $this->Form->input('emailaddress', array(
'value' => 'scott#something',
'type' => 'hidden',
));
echo $this->Form->submit('Re-Assign Mentor', array(
'class' => 'submit mid',
'before' => '<p>',
'after' => '</p>'
));
echo $this->Form->end();
?>
You need to use the HtmlHelper to output a link. In it's simplest form you use the text you want displayed with the URL that it should link to. In this case it will be JavaScript:
$this->Html->link('Submit Form', 'javascript:document.forms["myform"].submit();');
There are two additional parameters (a $options array and $confirmMessage boolean), but they along with the URL are optional.
You can also call your own JavaScript function if you need to do client side verification and call the submit function from there (also verify on the server as clients can lie).

I am new in zend framework. I want to populate company name and company id from database to select box. in zend
example as we do it PHP
<option value="<?php echo id ?>" > <?php echo $comapnyName ?>
this is my form
$this->addElement('select', 'companyName', array(
'required' => true,
'filters' => array('StringTrim'),
'style' => array('width:103px'),
'decorators'=> array(
'ViewHelper','Errors'
)
));
help me
The parameter name is multiOptions and requires an array with the value=>companyName pairs for your option elements.
So either add it to your statement above when you create the element or later with $element->setMultiOptions($options)
According to the manual, I should be able to do this which is to leave Model as null
<?php
echo $this->Form->create(null, array('url' => '/recipes/add'));
// or
echo $this->Form->create(null, array(
'url' => array('controller' => 'recipes', 'action' => 'add')
));
But in reality, I got error saying missing database table? Why?
I have my Model which is not directly mapping to any table. Why can't I leave it as null? Something like this:
<?php echo $this->Form->create(null,array('url' => array('my_account','action' => 'change_avatar'),'type' => 'file'));?>
Try passing false for the model instead of null:
<?php
echo $this->Form->create(false, array('url' => '/recipes/add'));
// or
echo $this->Form->create(false, array(
'url' => array('controller' => 'recipes', 'action' => 'add')
));
From the manual:
You can also pass false for $model. This will place your form data into the array: $this->request->data (instead of in the sub-array: $this->request->data['Model']). This can be handy for short forms that may not represent anything in your database.
make a table with name recipes in your database. The submitted date from the form will be saved at recipes table.
I'm writing my first CakePHP application and am just writing the second part of a password reset form where a user has received an email containing a link to the site and when they click it they're asked to enter and confirm a new password.
The url of the page is like this:
/users/reset_password_confirm/23f9a5d7d1a2c952c01afacbefaba41a26062b17
The view is like:
<?php echo $form->create('User', array('action' => 'reset_password_confirm')); ?>
<?php
echo $form->input('password', array('label' => 'Password'));
echo $form->input('confirm_password', array('type' => 'password', 'label' => 'Confirm password'));
echo $form->hidden('static_hash');
?>
<?php echo $form->end('Reset password'); ?>
However this produces a form like:
<form id="UserResetPasswordConfirmForm" method="post" action="/users/reset_password_confirm/8">
The problem is the user id (8 in this case) is being added to the form action. It's not really a problem here, but when I want to pass through the hash to my controller:
function reset_password_confirm($static_hash=null) {
// function body
}
$static_hash is now populated with 8 rather than the hash from the URL.
I know I could sort this out by creating the form tag myself rather than using $form->create but is there a more cakey way of doing this?
$form->create('User', array('action' => '…', 'id' => false));
Just explicitly set params you don't want passed to null or false. This is unfortunately a case where Cake tries to be a little too intelligent for its own good. ;o)
You could probably also do something like this to POST to the same URL again:
$form->create('User', $this->here);
How about passing it as a parameter instead of form data :
<?php
echo $form->create('User', array('action' => 'reset_password_confirm', $static_hash));
echo $form->input('password', array('label' => 'Password'));
echo $form->input('confirm_password', array('type' => 'password', 'label' => 'Confirm password'));
echo $form->end('Reset password');
?>
and in the controller :
function reset_password_confirm($static_hash = null) {
// Check if form is submitted
if (!empty($this->data)) {
// if it submitted then do your logic
} else {
$this->set('static_hash', $static_hash); // Else, pass the hash to the view, so it can be passed again when form is submitted
}
}
Hope this help :)
