Write hyperlink inside the Zend Form? - zend-framework

Question

I am using Zend-Framework in my project. I made a login form using the Zend Form that contains the User Id and Passwords fields with a submit button. Everything is working fine in the login form.
How do I add two hyperlinks inside the login form that is one for the Sign-Up and other for the Forget Password?

Answer 1

I've faced the same problem before, and solved it by creating a custom Zend_Form_Element_Html, as follows:
class Zend_Form_Element_Html extends Zend_Form_Element_Xhtml {
/**
* Default form view helper to use for rendering
* #var string
*/
public $helper = 'formNote';
public function isValid($value, $context = null) {
return true;
}
}
So, in your form you just have to do the following:
$tag = new Zend_Form_Element_Html('forgetPassword');
$tag->setValue('Forgotten your password?');
$this->addElement($tag);
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

In your viewscript file where you print the form, e.g. login.phtml
echo $this->form;
you can specify any other html markup, e.g. links
echo "<p><a href='".$this->url ( array ('controller' => 'authentication',
'action' => 'lostPW' ) )."'>
Lost pw </a></p>";
So you actually do not write it in the form itself but in the view script where you echo the form.

Answer 3

Try this:
$passwordElement->setDescription('Forgot password?');
$passwordElement->getDecorator('Description')->setOption('escape', false);
Description decorator will add this text beside your field.

Answer 4

You can use Zend_Form_Decorator_ViewScript
Or, create a custom Zend_Form_Element to render HTML elements or ViewScript.

Answer 5

For only decorators use directly in the form try:
$this->addElement(new Zend_Form_Element_Note(array(
'name' => 'forgotten',
'value' => __('Forgot your password?'),
'decorators' => array(
array('ViewHelper'),
array('HtmlTag', array(
'tag' => 'a',
'href' => $this->getView()->url(array(
'remind'
))
)),
)
)), 'forgotten');
