I would like a Zend_Form object to be output as essentially
array('name' => 'input username in db', 'description' => 'description thats in the database');
so far If I do
print_r((array) $form);
I get:
{"\u0000*\u0000_attribs":{"name":"add","enctype":"multipart\/form-data","method":"post"},"\u0000*\u0000_decorators":{"FormElements":{"decorator":"FormElements","options":null},"HtmlTag":{"decorator":"HtmlTag","options":{"tag":"dl","class":"zend_form"}},"Form":{"decorator":"Form","options":null}},"\u0000*\u0000_defaultDisplayGroupClass":"Zend_Form_DisplayGroup","\u0000*\u0000_description":null,"\u0000*\u0000_disableLoadDefaultDecorators":false,"\u0000*\u0000_displayGroupPrefixPaths":[],"\u0000*\u0000_displayGroups":[],"\u0000*\u0000_elementDecorators":null,"\u0000*\u0000_elementPrefixPaths":[],"\u0000*\u0000_elements":{"name":{"helper":"formText"},"name_url":{"helper":"formText"},"description":{"helper":"formTextarea","rows":"10"}
etcetc, alot of Zend storage
If I do:
$form = new Form_Administration_Movie_Add();
$elements = $form->getElements();
foreach($elements as $key => $element) {
echo $key;
}
I get a list of the fields, however I cannot do $element->getValue() as I just get 0 or 1 and no the actual data.
Ideas?
$array = $form->getValues();
Does this work? :)
Edit: You might need to use either $form->isValid($_POST) or $form->populate($_POST) before calling the getValues() method.

I want to create a redirect using a query string in Zend 1.12. The optional parameters should be in the form of a query string.
This is my code:
if ($this->_request->getParam('partner')){
$controller = $this->getRequest()->getControllerName();
$action = $this->getRequest()->getActionName();
$module = $this->getRequest()->getModuleName();
$params = array(
"utm_source" => "affiliate",
"utm_medium" => "cpa",
"utm_term" => $this->_request->getParam('partner'),
"utm_campaign" => "partners",
"url" => $this->_request->getParam('url')
);¬
$this->_helper->redirector($action, $controller, $module, $params);
return false;
}
}
This produces an URL like
/content/agb/utm_source/affiliate/utm_medium/cpa/utm_term/foo
However I want this to look like:
/content/agb?utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=cpa&utm_term=foo
How could I do that?
Thanks!
I've had better success with building the URL myself and using gotoUrlAndExit()
$this->_helper->redirector->gotoUrlAndExit('place?thing=value');
I am using Zend Framework1.11. In my Zend Form I have two zend sub form, I have added these two sub form using addSubForm function.
Now when I call this zend form in controller then isValid function is not working. I have called it as follow..
public function registeredAction(){
$form = new Application_Form_RegisteredForm();
$form->setAction('registered');
$formData = $this->_request->getPost();
if($form->isValid($formData)){
// save into database using model class.
} else {
$form->populate($formData);
}
$this->view->form = $form;
}
In following code isValid is not working, while I print_r the $fotmData requested array, it print array like:-
Array(
[personal] => Array
(
[firstname] => 'Example',
[lastname] => 'Solution'
)
[MAX_FILE_SIZE] => 8388608
[address] => Array
(
[country] => 'IND',
[state] => 'RAJ'
)
);
I have also used the setData() function but it is not working, it's give exceptional error "Message: Method setData does not exist", I have used php array_merge function but return array is not working with isValid().
Can anyone help me to solve this problem. so I can easily store form data into database.
Thanks!
Take a look at array_merge
http://php.net/manual/de/function.array-merge.php
$newFormData=array_merge($formData["personal"],$formData["address"]);
My solution is to create new base form with new method getSubFormsValues(), i.e.:
class My_Form extends Zend_Form
{
public function getSubFormsValues()
{
$values = array();
foreach ($this->getSubForms() as $form) {
$name = $form->getName();
$value = $form->getValues();
$values = array_merge($value[$name], $values);
}
return $values;
}
}
When you can call $my_form_obj->getSubFormValues() in your code.
I am a Yii Beginner and I am currently working on a Tagging system where I have 3 tables:
Issue (id,content,create_d,...etc)
Tag (id,tag)
Issue_tag_map (id,tag_id_fk,issue_id_fk)
In my /Views/Issue/_form I have added a MultiComplete Extension to retrieve multiple tag ids and labels,
I have used an afterSave function in order to directly store the Issue_id and the autocompleted Tag_ids in the Issue_tag_map table, where it is a HAS_MANY relation.
Unfortunately Nothing is being returned.
I wondered if there might be a way to store the autocompleted Tag_ids in a temporary attribute and then pass it to the model's afterSave() function.
I have been searching for a while, and this has been driving me crazy because I feel I have missed a very simple step!
Any Help or advices of any kind are deeply appreciated!
MultiComplete in Views/Issue/_form:
<?php
echo $form->labelEx($model, 'Tag');
$this->widget('application.extension.MultiComplete', array(
'model' => $model,
'attribute' => '', //Was thinking of creating a temporary here
'name' => 'tag_autocomplete',
'splitter' => ',',
'sourceUrl' => $this->createUrl('Issue/tagAutoComplete'),
// Controller/Action path for action we created in step 4.
// additional javascript options for the autocomplete plugin
'options' => array(
'minLength' => '2',
),
'htmlOptions' => array(
'style' => 'height:20px;',
),
));
echo $form->error($model, 'issue_comment_id_fk');
?>
AfterSave in /model/Issue:
protected function afterSave() {
parent::afterSave();
$issue_id = Yii::app()->db->getLastInsertID();
$tag; //here I would explode the attribute retrieved by the view form
// an SQL with two placeholders ":issue_id" and ":tag_id"
if (is_array($tag))
foreach ($tag as $tag_id) {
$sql = "INSERT INTO issue_tag_map (issue_id_fk, tag_id_fk)VALUES(:issue_id,:tag_id)";
$command = Yii::app()->db->createCommand($sql);
// replace the placeholder ":issue_id" with the actual issue value
$command->bindValue(":issue_id", $issue_id, PDO::PARAM_STR);
// replace the placeholder ":tag_id" with the actual tag_id value
$command->bindValue(":tag_id", $tag_id, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$command->execute();
}
}
And this is the Auto Complete sourceUrl in the Issue model for populating the tags:
public static function tagAutoComplete($name = '') {
$sql = 'SELECT id ,tag AS label FROM tag WHERE tag LIKE :tag';
$name = $name . '%';
return Yii::app()->db->createCommand($sql)->queryAll(true, array(':tag' => $name));
actionTagAutoComplete in /controllers/IssueController:
// This function will echo a JSON object
// of this format:
// [{id:id, name: 'name'}]
function actionTagAutocomplete() {
$term = trim($_GET['term']);
if ($term != '') {
$tags = issue::tagAutoComplete($term);
echo CJSON::encode($tags);
Yii::app()->end();
}
}
EDIT
Widget in form:
<div class="row" id="checks" >
<?php
echo $form->labelEx($model, 'company',array('title'=>'File Company Distrubution; Companies can be edited by Admins'));
?>
<?php
$this->widget('application.extension.MultiComplete', array(
'model' => $model,
'attribute' => 'company',
'splitter' => ',',
'name' => 'company_autocomplete',
'sourceUrl' => $this->createUrl('becomEn/CompanyAutocomplete'),
'options' => array(
'minLength' => '1',
),
'htmlOptions' => array(
'style' => 'height:20px;',
'size' => '45',
),
));
echo $form->error($model, 'company');
?>
</div>
Update function:
$model = $this->loadModel($id);
.....
if (isset($_POST['News'])) {
$model->attributes = $_POST['News'];
$model->companies = $this->getRecordsFromAutocompleteString($_POST['News']
['company']);
......
......
getRecordsFromAutocompleteString():
public static cordsFromAutocompleteString($string) {
$string = trim($string);
$stringArray = explode(", ", $string);
$stringArray[count($stringArray) - 1] = str_replace(",", "", $stringArray[count($stringArray) - 1]);
$criteria = new CDbCriteria();
$criteria->select = 'id';
$criteria->condition = 'company =:company';
$companies = array();
foreach ($stringArray as $company) {
$criteria->params = array(':company' => $company);
$companies[] = Company::model()->find($criteria);
}
return $companies;
}
UPDATE
since the "value" porperty is not implemented properly in this extension I referred to extending this function to the model:
public function afterFind() {
//tag is the attribute used in form
$this->tag = $this->getAllTagNames();
parent::afterFind();
}
You should have a relation between Issue and Tags defined in both Issue and Tag models ( should be a many_many relation).
So in IssueController when you send the data to create or update the model Issue, you'll get the related tags (in my case I get a string like 'bug, problem, ...').
Then you need to parse this string in your controller, get the corresponding models and assigned them to the related tags.
Here's a generic example:
//In the controller's method where you add/update the record
$issue->tags = getRecordsFromAutocompleteString($_POST['autocompleteAttribute'], 'Tag', 'tag');
Here the method I'm calling:
//parse your string ang fetch the related models
public static function getRecordsFromAutocompleteString($string, $model, $field)
{
$string = trim($string);
$stringArray = explode(", ", $string);
$stringArray[count($stringArray) - 1] = str_replace(",", "", $stringArray[count($stringArray) - 1]);
return CActiveRecord::model($model)->findAllByAttributes(array($field => $stringArray));
}
So now your $issue->tags is an array containing all the related Tags object.
In your afterSave method you'll be able to do:
protected function afterSave() {
parent::afterSave();
//$issue_id = Yii::app()->db->getLastInsertID(); Don't need it, yii is already doing it
foreach ($this->tags as $tag) {
$sql = "INSERT INTO issue_tag_map (issue_id_fk, tag_id_fk)VALUES(:issue_id,:tag_id)";
$command = Yii::app()->db->createCommand($sql);
$command->bindValue(":issue_id", $this->id, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$command->bindValue(":tag_id", $tag->id, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$command->execute();
}
}
Now the above code is a basic solution. I encourage you to use activerecord-relation-behavior's extension to save the related model.
Using this extension you won't have to define anything in the afterSave method, you'll simply have to do:
$issue->tags = getRecordsFromAutocompleteString($_POST['autocompleteAttribute'], 'Tag', 'tag');
$issue->save(); // all the related models are saved by the extension, no afterSave defined!
Then you can optimize the script by fetching the id along with the tag in your autocomplete and store the selected id's in a Json array. This way you won't have to perform the sql query getRecordsFromAutocompleteString to obtain the ids. With the extension mentioned above you'll be able to do:
$issue->tags = CJSON::Decode($_POST['idTags']);//will obtain array(1, 13, ...)
$issue->save(); // all the related models are saved by the extension, the extension is handling both models and array for the relation!
Edit:
If you want to fill the autocomplete field you could define the following function:
public static function appendModelstoString($models, $fieldName)
{
$list = array();
foreach($models as $model)
{
$list[] = $model->$fieldName;
}
return implode(', ', $list);
}
You give the name of the field (in your case tag) and the list of related models and it will generate the appropriate string. Then you pass the string to the view and put it as the default value of your autocomplete field.
Answer to your edit:
In your controller you say that the companies of this model are the one that you added from the Autocomplete form:
$model->companies = $this->getRecordsFromAutocompleteString($_POST['News']
['company']);
So if the related company is not in the form it won't be saved as a related model.
You have 2 solutions:
Each time you put the already existing related model in you autocomplete field in the form before displaying it so they will be saved again as a related model and it won't disapear from the related models
$this->widget('application.extensions.multicomplete.MultiComplete', array(
'name' => 'people',
'value' => (isset($people))?$people:'',
'sourceUrl' => array('searchAutocompletePeople'),
));
In your controller before calling the getRecordsFromAutocompleteString you add the already existing models of the model.
$model->companies = array_merge(
$model->companies,
$this->getRecordsFromAutocompleteString($_POST['News']['company'])
);
I have a Zend form below is the code

Because my form elements names are different then my table field names i have to declare a Array $UserAddressResult see above code to match the table field name with form element name.
Is there a another way to populate form without declaring this array.
Please don't suggest that i have to keep my table field name and form element name same. I cannot do that as per our naming convention standards.
Your naming convention is inconsistent. If it were consistent, you could perhaps use a simple regular expression to transform column names. But you can't, so you will have to do it manually one way or the other.
If you need to construct this array of values in more than one place in your code, you should consider moving the logic to the form itself (extend it with a public function populateFromUserAndResult($userResult, $userAddress)) or an action helper.
We decided to keep same name of form elements as per our table fields name. For now this is the only solutions i feel. if i come across any other solutions in future will update here...
Thanks for all your replies....
Edit:
I think it is because the action is the same or something. I tried to modify the action using this:
function mytheme_user_profile_form($form) {
global $user;
$uid = $user->uid;
//print '<pre>'; print_r($form); print '</pre>';
$category = $form['_category']['#value'];
switch($category) {
case 'account':
$form['#action'] = '/user/'.$uid.'/edit?destination=user/'.$uid;
break;
case 'education':
$form['#action'] = '/user/'.$uid.'/edit/education?destination=user/'.$uid;
break;
case 'experience':
$form['#action'] = '/user/'.$uid.'/edit/experience?destination=user/'.$uid;
break;
case 'publications':
$form['#action'] = '/user/'.$uid.'/edit/publications?destination=user/'.$uid;
break;
case 'conflicts':
$form['#action'] = '/user/'.$uid.'/edit/conflicts?destination=user/'.$uid;
break;
}
//print '<pre>'; print_r($form); print '</pre>';
//print $form['#action'];
$output .= drupal_render($form);
return $output;
}
But, the form action, when the form is actually rendered is unchanged. They're all /user/%uid
Can I modify the form action?
I am including several different "categories" of the user profile form on one page, and the code will correctly output the forms I'm specifying. Each form is in a separate collapsible div.
My problem is twofold.
(1) The existing values for the fields aren't pre-populated and
(2) Clicking on "Save" for one section will result in a warning: Email field is required, regardless of which form you're actually saving
I am pretty sure that for problem #2, it is because the name of the button is the same in all cases, as is the form id.
print '<h3>– Account Settings</h3>';
print '<div class="expand">';
print(drupal_get_form('user_profile_form', $user, 'account'));
print '</div>';
print '<h3>– My Info</h3>';
print '<div class="expand">';
print(drupal_get_form('user_profile_form', $user, 'Personal'));
print '</div>';
print '<h3>– Experience</h3>';
print '<div class="expand">';
print(drupal_get_form('user_profile_form', $user, 'experience'));
print '</div>';
print '<h3>– Education</h3>';
print '<div class="expand">';
print(drupal_get_form('user_profile_form', $user, 'education'));
print '</div>';
Problem #1: ? Could you post the html source?
For problem #2:
OK, I'll step through the code here:
The validation handler for the user profile form (user_profile_form_validate()) calls
user_module_invoke('validate', $form_state['values'], $form_state['values']['_account'], $form_state['values']['_category']);
Which looks like
<?php
/**
* Invokes hook_user() in every module.
*
* We cannot use module_invoke() for this, because the arguments need to
* be passed by reference.
*/
function user_module_invoke($type, &$array, &$user, $category = NULL) {
foreach (module_list() as $module) {
$function = $module .'_user';
if (function_exists($function)) {
$function($type, $array, $user, $category);
}
}
}
?>
So, the validation handler for this form is going through every module looking for user hook functions and calling them with $type = 'validate'. (Note that 'category' param is optional here - contrib modules are not required to use it)
Let's look at user.module's user hook as an example to see what happens:
function user_user($type, &$edit, &$account, $category = NULL) {
if ($type == 'view') {
$account->content['user_picture'] = array(
'#value' => theme('user_picture', $account),
'#weight' => -10,
);
if (!isset($account->content['summary'])) {
$account->content['summary'] = array();
}
$account->content['summary'] += array(
'#type' => 'user_profile_category',
'#attributes' => array('class' => 'user-member'),
'#weight' => 5,
'#title' => t('History'),
);
$account->content['summary']['member_for'] = array(
'#type' => 'user_profile_item',
'#title' => t('Member for'),
'#value' => format_interval(time() - $account->created),
);
}
if ($type == 'form' && $category == 'account') {
$form_state = array();
return user_edit_form($form_state, (isset($account->uid) ? $account->uid : FALSE), $edit);
}
//<-- LOOK HERE -->
if ($type == 'validate' && $category == 'account') {
return _user_edit_validate((isset($account->uid) ? $account->uid : FALSE), $edit);
}
if ($type == 'submit' && $category == 'account') {
return _user_edit_submit((isset($account->uid) ? $account->uid : FALSE), $edit);
}
if ($type == 'categories') {
return array(array('name' => 'account', 'title' => t('Account settings'), 'weight' => 1));
}
}
So, it is only supposed to validate if the category == 'account'
In the function _use_edit_validate, we find:
// Validate the e-mail address:
if ($error = user_validate_mail($edit['mail'])) {
form_set_error('mail', $error);
}
There's your error message.
Since that form is only supposed to validate when the category == 'account', and your problem (#2) seems to be that it always validates regardless of the category, maybe your forms are not being rendered as unique form instances? Drupal might be rendering a complete form each time, and just setting a hidden form value to whatever the category is (like in this form's definition function in user_pages.inc $form['_category'] = array('#type' => 'value', '#value' => $category);)
It would be helpful to see the actual html source output.
==EDIT 10-15-09 in response to updated question===
OK, it looks like your method (editing $form['#action'] manually in the theme layer) may not be possible (see this post for reference). If you want to alter the form action you need to write a custom module that implements hook_form_alter() (it won't work in a theme template file). This function allows you to modify how a form is rendered, in your case the user modification form. There are more details on form modification here.
I am not 100% sure that's what you want to do though; (since it looks like you already must create a module) perhaps you want to hook into hook_user() instead; this function "... allows modules to react when operations are performed on user accounts.". You may be able to react to the category in this function and block/allow whichever user changes you like.
However, if it's just email address validation that is the problem, and if you are dealing with existing users, why don't you just make sure the email address is set before you save?
