I looked through the developer blogs and I can only find ways to create a custom global form button or to replace a field with custom code. I don't want to replace the field, I want to add a button beside a field.
Here's what I have in mind:
[Date Field][date_picker_button] [time field][time_is_now]
The button I want to add is the time_is_now, allowing the user to populate the time field with the current time.
I have tried updating custom/modules/Notes/metadata/quickcreatedefs.php with:
array (
'name' => 'billable_start_c',
'label' => 'LBL_BILLABLE_START',
'customCode' => '<button</button>',
)
But this replaces the input field with the custom code. I could just put in the stock code and then my custom code, but date fields use yui and a widget, so I'd prefer not to.
Is there anyway to do something like:
'customCode' => '{default} <button></button>',
so that the default code gets output and then the custom code?
You could create a new SugarField template, which will essentially allow you to create the markup for your field. If you named your SugarField TimeIsNow, you could create a field with that type (instead of text,int, date or whatever). You should take a look at some of the other SugarFields to see how they are formatted, but it's really just HTML. When the field is set to that type, it pulls in that HTML template. You can tie your JS to the onclick function. Sugar is very easy to customize, so I definitely wouldn't get in the habit of solving all your customization needs this way...It's another way to look at it though.
Don't use custom code if you can help it. Either copy over the tpl to custom/modules/[yourmodule]/tpls/[yourtemplate] and code the bitton in there or use an after_ui_frame hook and some js to insert you custom button into the DOM.

I want to save a datetime value, but when I try to render the form, it does not display a date/time picker, just an empty field. If I only use a DateType class, it displays the picker, but not with a DateTimeType. Here's the form:
->add('datetimestart',
DateTimeType::class,
array(
'widget'=> 'single_text',
"attr" => array
('class' => 'form-control col-7')))
Is there a way to show a datetime picker? Or do I have to create a form field for date and another one for time?
You can use an html datepicker more info here
Actually I'm not sure if the Symfomy form engine supports this type natively, but you should be able to create a custom one extending the standard Input class.
Or if you are using a js datepicker, you should trigger that code on the twig template in which you are rendering the form.
I ended up separating both fields: One for date and another one for time. Using the HTML datepicker mentioned by Carlos is better way to do that, but I don't have enough time
I am building a multi-step application form with React. Having first built it with pure internal state I am now in the process of refactoring to Redux using redux-form.
Having used the example here as a basis: http://redux-form.com/5.2.5/#/examples/wizard?_k=oftw7a we have come a good way.
However the problem appears when i have two forms which are supposed to have the same value. During one of the pages i have a name field, that is supposed to be duplicated on the name field of the next page. The opposite should happen if you go back from the last page. Any tips to how this could be achieved?
Using the wizard, you are basically working with the exact same form that's split into multiple pieces. Ultimately it's the same form, because redux-form tracks them by name. It is how the library identifies the pieces of the same form - using the name.
form: 'wizard',
Here you can see that the exact same instance of the form will be shared throughout the pieces. fields work in a similar manner. Each field is defined as part of a form.
As long as you use the same field constants inside the fields object that you pass into the reduxForm function and as long as the value for form is the same, so that they use the same underlying form object, it should work for you just fine.
On one page you should pass in
export default reduxForm({
form: 'wizard',
fields : {
'fieldIWantOnBothPartsOfTheForm',
'someOtherFieldThatShouldOnlyBeHere',
},
...
And then on the other page:
export default reduxForm({
form: 'wizard',
fields : {
'fieldIWantOnBothPartsOfTheForm',
'thirdFieldHere',
},
...
Also, make sure you keep destroyOnUnmount equal to false if you want to navigate back-and-forth.
Hope that helps.
In Drupal 7, is there a way to change the standard edit form for a content type based on a certain content?
For example:
I have a content type with a checkbox...once it it checked and the form is saved, I do not want this checkbox to be visible anymore...therefore based on the checkboxes value in the Database I want to hide form fields when showing the form.
I am building a small specific project site, where a company wants to add projects, and their customers are supposed to follow certain steps (upload some content, provide information etc.), and also should be able to check off certain requirements, and once these are checked off, they should not be visible/editable to them.
Also the displayed form fields should depend on an user's role, and then FURTHER be limited depending on the content's database entries.
Is there a module, which could achieve this behaviour? "rules" and "field/permissions" come close to what I need, but are not sufficient. Or did I just miss the option to change a form field's accessibility based on conditions?
What I need is some place to define a logic like "IF (VALUEOF(CHECKBOX_1) == TRUE) THEN DO_NOT_SHOW(CHECKBOX_1)"
hook_form_alter is the way to do this, as explained by Mihaela, but what options do you have inside that function?
If you want just to disable field (it will be visible, but user can't change it) you can do it like this:
$form['field_myfield']['#disabled'] = TRUE;
And if you want it to be hidden, but to keep value it has before editing the way to do that is:
$form['field_myfield']['#access'] = FALSE;
I.e. hiding it (somewhere I saw someone suggesting that):
hide($form['field_myfield']);
really hides the field, but after that, when form is saved this field has empty value, validation fails, etc, so that's not a good way to do this. Hiding makes sense only if you want to print separately that field later, at some other place.
function your_module_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id){
switch($form_id) {
case 'nameOfTheNode_node_form':
//your code here. check the value from from_state.
break;
}
}
In this case, I use module Conditional Fields https://www.drupal.org/project/conditional_fields
For example: If my Dependees field has a value, Dependent field can be visible/invisible, enabled/disabled, required/optional, checked/unchecked
I need a custom field to be FulltextSearchable. Therefore I tried this code as described in the FulltextSearchable class:
Object::add_extension('Page', "FulltextSearchable('SearchableContent')");
then run dev/build.
Basically Fulltext Search seems to work. But the content of the custom Field 'SearchableContent' seems never to be checked.
Of course I enabled FulltextSearch first by:
FulltextSearchable::enable();
Thx,
Florian
All SiteTree classes have their search columns define in FulltextSearchable like:
$defaultColumns = array(
'SiteTree' => '"Title","MenuTitle","Content","MetaTitle","MetaDescription","MetaKeywords"',
'File' => '"Title","Filename","Content"'
);
so I don't think SilverStripe will pick up on your extra column. Unless you edit the FulltextSearchable but that's probably a bad idea... or just create a custom search function like for plain DataObject so you can specify exactly which columns to search on:
silverstripe dataobject searchable
I'm trying to add a plain text node in a custom drupal form. The purpose is to only dispay some static text.
The problem is - im not aware of any such way to do it.
I have used 'description' but that HAS to be attached to a form element.
Is there any way to simply display some text as part of a form?
Eg:
The following will test your ability on so and so. . . .
etc...
Any thoughts?
You should be able to add text using the markup form element.
Description: Generate generic markup for display inside forms.
Example from the documentation:
$form['contact_information'] = array(
'#markup' => variable_get('contact_form_information',
t('You can leave us a message using the contact form
below.')),
);
