i want to add a dropdown menu to my layout .
i have a list of hotels . i want to change the hotel from a dropdown , i need to keep that drop down in my layout.phtml .
problem is hotel list is dynamic.
can i do this , is this possible in zend ,
here is my layout,phtml
i need to add a dropdown to <div class="floatright wid35 textaligncenter padtop5">
<html>
<head>
<?php echo $this->docType(); ?>
<?php echo $this->headTitle(); ?>
<?php echo $this->headScript(); ?>
<?php echo $this->headLink(); ?>
<?php echo $this->headStyle(); ?>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo $this->render('admin/header.phtml'); ?>
<div id="contentColumns" class="columns">
<div id="columnRight" class="column-right"></div>
<div id="columnLeft" class="column-right">
<div class="link-guide">
<div id="breadcrumbs" class="floatleft wid60">
<?php echo $this->navigation()->breadcrumbs()->setLinkLast(false)->setMinDepth(0)->render(); ?>
</div>
<div class="floatright wid35 textaligncenter padtop5">
</div>
</div>
<div class="padding-box">
<?php echo $this->layout()->content; ?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
<?php echo $this->render('admin/footer.phtml'); ?>
</body>
</html>
No. Layout files represent the static structure of a page like header and footer and everything you wrap around your dynamic content.
So this is not recommended. However you could solve that implementing the _init method of your main controller and extend any controller with that main controller:
class MainController extends Zend_Action_Controller{
function init(){
$this->view->foo = "Show everywhere!";
}
}
class IndexController extends MainController{
public function indexAction(){
$this->view->bar = "Show only on index/index";
}
}
Or you can use a plugin which would be the more elegant way
class MyPlugin extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract{
public function preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request){
$view = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::
getStaticHelper('viewRenderer')->view;
$view->foo = "bar";
}
}
and in your bootstrap process register that plugin
Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->registerPlugin(new MyPlugin);
You can create preDispatch function in your base controller class.
Then you get hotel list and send it to view:
$this->view->hotels = $hotels;
And in your layout you can parse it as you wish.
I see two issues here:
Using your hotel list in a dropdown suggests that you will have a form My_Form_Hotels extending Zend_Form which accepts the hotel list as a constructor parameter.
Where should you populate the hotel list, instantiate the form, and communicate all this to the view/layout for rendering?
Sounds like a front controller plugin would do the job. Since the layout resource functions as a plugin that runs late in postDispatch(), you need to run yours before that. dispatchLoopStartup() should be fine.
Something like this in library/My/Plugin/HotelForm.php:
class My_Plugin_HotelForm extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract
{
public function dispatchLoopStartup(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
{
$hotelModel = new My_Model_Hotel();
$hotels = $hotelModel->getAllHotels();
$form = new My_Form_Hotels($hotels);
$viewRenderer = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('viewRenderer');
$view = $viewRenderer->getView();
$view->hotelForm = $form;
}
}
Then in your layout, simply dump the form using $this->hotelForm.
To enable your plugin, add to application/configs/application.ini:
autoloaderNamespaces[] = 'My_"
resources.frontcontroller.plugins[] = "My_Plugin_HotelForm"

I am facing problems with yii2 form get method. Here is my form:
<form class="search-form" method="get" action="<?php echo Yii::$app->urlManager->createAbsoluteUrl(['search/index']); ?>" id="search-form">
<div class="row search-box">
<div class="12u search-box-inner">
<input class="search-input" type="text" id="search-query" placeholder="Search" name="search_key" autocomplete="off" >
</div>
</div>
</form>
Here is my SearchController with actionIndex():
public function actionIndex()
{
$request = Yii::$app->request;
$search_key = $request->get('search_key');
return $this->render('index', ['search_key'=>$search_key]);
}
I want to submit to web/index?r=search/index&&search_key='something', but when I submit this form always returns web/index?searchkey='something'.
What need I do?
If you want use a parameter in your SearchController/Index
return $this->render('index', ['search_key'=>$search_key]);
You should declare in function declaration
public function actionIndex($search_key)
in this way you can use the value of $search_key passsed in render call
by your form submit action
<form class="search-form" method="get" action="
<?php echo Yii::$app->urlManager->createAbsoluteUrl(['search/index']); ?>"
id="search-form">
the resulting target is should be
web/index.php?r=search&id=search-form
and for use this get submit in your SearchController/Index
Your actionIndex function should be
public function actionIndex($id)
{
// $id contain the value you assigne in form action
// in you case you should obtain the value 'search-form'
.......
}
First of all, you need to configuring-web-servers correctly.
The url should not include 'web/index'.
Then change your form with ActiveForm
<?php
use yii\widgets\ActiveForm;
?>
<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin(); ?>
Your form content here.
<?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>
OR
Just change url.
<?php echo Url::to(['search/index']); ?>
in my EditController I have indexAction :
public function indexAction()
{
$delete = new DeleteForm();
$view = new ViewModel(array('delete' => $delete ));
return $view;
}
and the view
<?php
$formDelete = $this->delete;
$formDelete->prepare();
$formDelete->setAttribute('action', $this->url(NULL, array('controller'=>'Register', 'action' => 'process')));
?>
<?php echo $this->form()->openTag($formDelete);?>
<div class="form-group">
<?=$this->formLabel($formDelete->get('reason')); ?>
<?=$this->formElement($formDelete->get('reason'))?>
<?=$this->formElementErrors($formDelete->get('reason'))?>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<?=$this->formElement($formDelete->get('delete-button'))?>
</div>
<?php echo $this->form()->closeTag();?>
Despite I have action attribute set to RegisterController and processAction in page source I see always the same action. In setAttribute $this->url I can type whatever I want, in the code source always is
<form method="post" name="deleteForm" enctype="multipart/formdata" action="/App/public/element/edit" id="deleteForm">
The first parameter of the URL helper should be the name of the route you want to use, not NULL. By using NULL, ZF will fall back on using the current route, which I'd guess is not correct in your case.
I have problem with Zend Framework 2 and ViewModel with which i can not deal.
I want to do really simple thing, but this framework is not helping with that...
I have for example simple layout:
<html>
<div id="window">
<?php echo $this->window;
// or whatever working....
?>
</div>
<div id="content">
<?php echo $this->content; ?>
</div>
</html>
I want to add content of window in a place, where $this->window is printed.
I have tried by:
$view = new ViewModel();
$window = new ViewModel();
$window->setTemplate('window/window_error222'); // Template with error to include on layout
$view->addChild($window, 'window');
It works fine on content file, but i cannot access 'window' variable in layout file. Is there any solution for that? I dont want to create another template for window div.
I have resolved my problem by this:
$layout = $this->layout();
$layout->addChild($window, 'window');
I am new to zendframework . I am trying to implement two step view lay out:
Bootstrap.php(view/Bootstrap.php)
<?php
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
public function _initRoutes()
{
$options = array(
'layout' => 'layout',
'layoutPath' => '/layout/layout.phtml',);
$layout = Zend_Layout::startMvc($options);
}
}?>
layout.phtml(application/view/scripts/layout/layout.phtml)
<?php
include "header.php";
?>
// view contents goes here.
<?php
$this->layout()->content;
?>
// footer goes here.
<?php
include "footer.phtml";
?>
i am a absolute beginner step by step explanation is more appreciated .Thanks.
The easiest way to enable layouts is to run the Zend_Tool command from the command line zf enable layout, this will add the line
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts/scripts/"
to your application.ini and build the directory for the layout and the default file layout.phtml.
Alternatively you can specify your layout path and default layout name with 2 lines in your application.ini file:
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts" //path to layout
resources.layout.layout = master //name of layout without extension
other layout/view options may be set in your application.ini to be callled in your view:
;View Settings
;*************
resources.view[]=
resources.view.charset = "UTF-8"
resources.view.encoding = "UTF-8"
resources.view.doctype = "HTML5"
resources.view.language = "en"
resources.view.contentType = "text/html; charset=UTF-8"
then in your bootstrap.php you can call on these resources to initialize your view:
/**
* initialize the registry and asign application.ini to config namespace
*/
protected function _initRegistry() {
//make application.ini configuration available in registry
$config = new Zend_Config($this->getOptions());
Zend_Registry::set('config', $config);
}
/**
* initialize the view and return it
* #return \Zend_View
*/
protected function _initView() {
//Initialize view
$view = new Zend_View();
//add custom view helper path
$view->addHelperPath('/../library/Application/View/Helper');
//set doctype for default layout
$view->doctype(Zend_Registry::get('config')->resources->view->doctype);
//set default title
$view->headTitle('Our Home');
//set head meta data
$view->headMeta()->appendHttpEquiv('Content-Type', Zend_Registry::get(
'config')->resources->view->contentType);
//set css includes
$view->headLink()->setStylesheet('/css/normalize.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/blueprint/src/liquid.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/blueprint/src/typography.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet(
'/javascript/mediaelement/build/mediaelementplayer.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/main.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/nav.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/table.css');
//add javascript files
$view->headScript()->setFile('/javascript/mediaelement/build/jquery.js');
//add it to the view renderer
$viewRenderer = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper(
'ViewRenderer');
$viewRenderer->setView($view);
//Return it, so that it can be stored by the bootstrap
return $view;
}
I also included a convenience method _initRegistry() to make config options available everywhere with minimal code.
The layout in ZF is a simple html page with placeholder added for dynamic or configured options:
<?php
echo $this->doctype() . "\n"; //placeholder assigned in bootstrap $view->doctype
?>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<?php echo $this->headMeta() . "\n" //placeholder assigned in bootstrap ?>
<?php echo $this->headLink() . "\n" //placeholder assigned in bootstrap ?>
<?php echo $this->headscript(). "\n" //placeholder assigned in bootstrap?>
</head>
<body>
<section class="container">
<header class="block">
<hgroup id="header" class ="column span-24">
<h1>Our Page</h1>
</hgroup>
<nav>
<div id="nav" class="column span-24">
<?php echo $this->layout()->nav //custom placeholder ?>
</div>
</nav>
</header>
<section class="block">
<div id="main" class="column span-18 border">
<div id="flash">
<?php
//flash messenger display location
if (count($this->messages) > 0) {
printf("<h3 id='flash'>%s</h3>", $this->messages[0]);
}
?>
</div>
<?php echo $this->layout()->content; //placeholder for redering views ?>
</div>
<aside id="sidebar" class="column span-4 last">
<?php echo $this->layout()->search //custom placeholder ?>
<div id="subNav">
<?php echo $this->layout()->subNav //custom placeholder ?>
</div>
<div id="adminMenu">
<?php echo $this->layout()->adminMenu //custom placeholder ?>
</div>
</aside>
</section>
<footer class="block">
<div id="footer" class="column span-24">
<p>Created by <em>Your Name</em> with Zend Framework. © </p>
</div>
</footer>
</section>
</body>
</html>
<?php echo $this->inlineScript() ?> //javascript includes at bottom of page
Hope this helps.
Well first off, youre initializing the layout in a method that would seem to be for your routing - probably a bad idea. Secondly if youre using the full stack with Zend_Application then you can use the provided Zend_Application_Resource_Layout and set all your options from configuration.
Additionally you dont want to use a raw include statement to pull in content you should use $this->render('thetemplate.phtml') from within your layout file. Check out the Zend_Layout Quickstart for more info on that.
My zend layout and scripts are detecting fine. but when in init function of my IndexController I write $this->view->render("header.phtml") It does not show anything one the screen, whereas when I write echo ($this->view->render("header.phtml"); it displays my header.phtml file. Here is my IndexController
class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
public function init()
{
$layout = $this->_helper->layout();
//$this->view = $this->getResource('View');
echo ($this->view->render("header.phtml"));
//echo"<pre>";
//var_dump($this->view);
//var_dump(APPICATION_PATH);
}
public function indexAction()
{
// action body
echo "In default index con";
}
}
Also when Igive my url to/mypath/index It does not display the simple line "I'm in index controller" which I'm just echoing. In my bootstrap here is my Zend_Layout settings.
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_View');
$this->view = new Zend_View();
$this->view->setEncoding('UTF-8');
$this->view->setScriptPath($this->root .'/application/default/views/scripts');
$viewRenderer=new Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer();
// Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addHelper($viewRenderer);
// $view->setScriptPath($this->root.'/'.$theme.'/views/scripts/');
//$view->setScriptPath($this->root.'/application/default/views/scripts/');
$this->view->addScriptPath($this->root.'/application/admin/views/scripts');
$this->view->addScriptPath($this->root.'/application/business/views/scripts');
// $this->view->setHelperPath($this->root .'/application/default/views/helpers');
$this->layout = Zend_Layout::startMvc(
array(
'layoutPath' => $this->root . '/application/default/views/'.$crt_theme.'/layouts',
'layout' => 'layout'
)
);
$this->registry->set("theme", $crt_theme);
variable $crt_theme is set to 'default'.
Rob' answer is correct although you may need some more information as you appear to be working hard at making this complicated. ZF when used as an MVC has a place to put layouts and defaults for using them.
If you are using the Zend_Tool command line interface start with the commmand: zf enable layout and the tool will add the default directory and a default layout.phtml to your project.
in the application.ini it will add the line:
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts/scripts/"
and at that path it will add the file layout.phtml
If you need to change the name of the default layout add this line with the name of your script without the .phtml
resources.layout.layout = master
There are as many ways as you can think of to use this file, but here is an example of how I use it.
I like to set my project defaults in my application.ini file so if I need to change anything it's easy.
View Settings
;*************
resources.view[]=
resources.view.charset = "UTF-8"
resources.view.encoding = "UTF-8"
resources.view.doctype = "HTML5"
resources.view.language = "en"
resources.view.contentType = "text/html; charset=UTF-8"
then in my bootstrap I setup the view I want use, I do it here so that if I have multiple layouts (i usually do) it's easy to change css or js files in one place.
protected function _initView() {
//Initialize view
$view = new Zend_View();
$view->addHelperPath('/../library/Application/View/Helper');
$view->doctype(Zend_Registry::get('config')->resources->view->doctype);
$view->headTitle('Our Home');
$view->headMeta()->appendHttpEquiv('Content-Type', Zend_Registry::get(
'config')->resources->view->contentType);
$view->headLink()->setStylesheet('/css/normalize.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/blueprint/src/liquid.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/blueprint/src/typography.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet(
'/javascript/mediaelement/build/mediaelementplayer.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/main.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/nav.css');
$view->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/table.css');
//add javascript files
$view->headScript()->setFile('/javascript/mediaelement/build/jquery.js');
$view->headScript()->appendFile('/javascript/modernizr.js');
//add it to the view renderer
$viewRenderer = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper(
'ViewRenderer');
$viewRenderer->setView($view);
//Return it, so that it can be stored by the bootstrap
return $view;
}
Notice all of those headLink(), headScript() and docType() entries, these are where the data is set for placeholders, that will be used in the layout.
Now the layout, the actual content from your other action based scripts will typically be rendered by the placeholder $this->layout()->content
<?php
echo $this->doctype() . "\n";//placeholder
?>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<?php echo $this->headMeta() . "\n" ?><!-- displays all meta data passed -->
<?php echo $this->headLink() . "\n" ?><!-- displays all links passed -->
<?php echo $this->headscript(). "\n"?><!-- displays all scripts passed -->
</head>
<body>
<section class="container">
<header class="block">
<hgroup id="header" class ="column span-24">
<h1>Our Home</h1>
</hgroup>
<nav>
<div id="nav" class="column span-24">
<?php echo $this->layout()->nav ?> <!-- Custom Placeholder -->
</div>
</nav>
</header>
<section class="block">
<div id="main" class="column span-18 border">
<div id="flash">
<?php
//flash messenger display location
if (count($this->messages) > 0) {
printf("<h3 id='flash'>%s</h3>", $this->messages[0]);
}
?>
</div>
<?php echo $this->layout()->content; ?><!-- Default placeholder, where views are rendered -->
</div>
<aside id="sidebar" class="column span-4 last">
<?php echo $this->layout()->search ?><!-- Custom placeholder -->
<div id="subNav">
<?php echo $this->layout()->subNav ?> <!-- Custom placeholder -->
</div>
<div id="adminMenu">
<h4>Administration Links</h4>
<?php echo $this->layout()->adminMenu ?> <!-- Custom placeholder -->
</div>
</aside>
</section>
<footer class="block">
<div id="footer" class="column span-24">
<p>Created with Zend Framework. © </p>
</div>
</footer>
</section>
<?php echo $this->inlineScript() ?><!-- placeholder -->
</body>
</html>
Hope this helps!
[Edit]
One more thing, this always seems to be the next question. "How do I change my layout from the default in my controller/action?"
to change the layout from your controller you would typically do it with a preDispatch() method and just pass the name of your new layout to the layout helper.
$this->_helper->layout->setLayout('myOtherLayout');
doing just this will change the layout for every action in the controller. To be more selective you can use a conditional, like:
if ($this->getRequest()->getActionName() == 'player') {
$this->_helper->layout->setLayout('player');//reset layout
//add 2 new headscripts
$this->view->headScript()->appendFile(
'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.2/swfobject.js'
);
$this->view->headScript()->appendFile(
'/javascript/mediaplayer/jwplayer.js'
);
}
render() is working as intended; it returns a string that you should then echo.
It is very unusual to be rendering directly in a controller however. At a minimum, you should be rendering your header and footer from views/scripts/index/index.phtml, though using Zend_Layout would be even better. If you are using Zend_Application, then you can start using Zend_Layout simply by adding:
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts/scripts/"
to your application/config/application.ini file. You then need to create a application/layouts/scripts/layout.phtml file which could look something like this:
<?php
$this->headMeta()->appendHttpEquiv('Content-Type', 'text/html;charset=utf-8');
$this->headTitle()->setSeparator(' - ');
$this->headTitle('My website');
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<?php echo $this->headMeta(); ?>
<?php echo $this->headTitle(); ?>
<!-- Other <head> elements and view helpers here -->
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<?php echo $this->layout()->content; ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
