I'm building a multi-step form in Drupal 6. For some reason, the id attribute of the form element have an extra "-1" the first time the step 1 form is displayed.
For example, if the form name is "user-registration", the first time I access the step 1 form, the id is "user-registration-1". Then, if I go to step 2, the id is "user-registration". If I go back to step 1, the id remains "user-registration".
I'd like to know if there's a way for me to set the id attribute or to prevent Drupal from adding the extra "-1".
Thanks.
You can set the id yourself.
$form['#attributes'] = array('id' => 'user-registration');
Drupal 6.x has a form API property for both '#id' an '#attribute'. I had the same problem and found that the '#id' property was blank, which accounted for the blank 'id' in the form field. Then I used '#attribute' => array('id' => 'name of id'), which gave me a second 'id' in the form field. Remove the id in the '#attribute' and add another form API property for '#id'.
$form['foo'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => t('Foo'),
'#required' => FALSE,
'#id' => 'text-foo',
);
This worked for me:
$form = array( '#id' => 'myformid' );

I get something strange with Symfony2 forms. I create a form with a propel entity, values are fine except the "select" (choices) field, that have no selected value.
I tried few tricks like:
$params['choices'] = array('N/A'=> 'N/A');
$params['data'] = array('N/A');
$params['preferred_choices'] = array('N/A');
Even with this, there is no preselected value. What's wrong ?
You can use data attribute for default selected item.
$param['data'] = 'N/A'
This is part of the Abstract "field" type ?
Fore example form,
$form = $this->createFormBuilder()
->add('category', 'choice', array(
'choices' => array(
0 => 'Books',
1 => 'Electronics',
2 => 'Hardware`
),
'data' => 1
))
->getForm();
In this example when the form loads the option Electronics should be selected as default
'empty_value' => 'Select Choice',
$builder->add('gender', 'choice', array(
'choices' => array('m' => 'Male', 'f' => 'Female')
'empty_value' => 'Select Choice',
));
I finally solved my problem. There were 2 things:
* reloading with Firefox, the previously selected value seems to be kept, so I coulnd't really test the changes until I closed the current tab and reopened one;
* I passed a single dimension array as values for the "choice" field, so Symfony2 re-indexed it with integer and my entity string value couldn't be hydrated to the symfony2 integer value of the field.
In my form I have a input field with multiple checkboxes.
This works as expected.
When for some reason (eg an obligated field in the form is empty upon submit) the form after submit is not posted, all other fields maintain there input except the field below, all checkboxes become unchecked.
What can I do to make this field remember it's settings?
$options = array(
'1' => 'one',
'2' => 'two',
'3' => 'three'
);
echo $this->Form->input('checkboxes',array(
'type' => 'select',
'multiple' => 'checkbox',
'options' => $options,
'default' => array(1,2,3)
));
FormHelper uses the $this->request->data to fill the fields. You need to keep (or fill) your data in request data array and the cakephp will maintain your data.
I have a form I created in a custom module using the Form API. It is a fairly basic form with only 4 fields. It basically signs a user up for a job alert system. We are basing it only by email address with a few search parameters. We want people to be able to setup a search agent quickly and anonymously meaning they will NOT be creating a Drupal user account as we don't want them to have to deal with a password etc. They will just put in their email address, check off a few preferences and we will save the data.
Now the issue I need to deal with is allowing the user to edit their preferences later on and/or unsubscribe. Again this is not high security and it doesn't need to be. What I would like to do is initially ask ONLY for their email address in the form and allow them to submit it. I would then check the database to see if we already have an entry for that email address and if so, display the pre-filled form for them to edit or unsubsribe, other wise just show them the blank form. So I am just trying to figure out the best way to go about this. I'm thinking I just have one form with all of the fields including email address, but somehow only display the other fields besides the email address after a successful call to the database. I'm just tripping up on how to accomplish this.
EDIT:
I'm wondering if I can use Drupal's AJAX functionality to accomplish this? I tried this, but I couldn't get it to work. I put an Ajax attribute on my submit button with a wrapper ID and a callback function. I created a form element in my form with blank markup and used a prefix and suffix that created a wrapper div with the ID I used in my AJAX parameter. Then I am thinking in my callback function I can do the database lookup and then return the form elements I need either pre-filled or not into the wrapper div that was created, but when I do this, the form does submit via AJAX and I get the spinning wheel, but no matter what I return in my callback, it does not appear in my output wrapper div. Am I going about this the right way? I also made sure I have $form_state['rebuild'] = TRUE; on my original form.
Here is what I tried and it didn't work.
/**
* Implements hook_form().
*/
function _vista_form($form, &$form_state) {
$form = array();
$form_state['rebuild'] = TRUE;
$form['email'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => 'Email',
'#required' => TRUE,
);
$form['render_area'] = array(
'#type' => 'markup',
'#markup' => '',
'#prefix' => '<div id="job-agent-form">',
'#suffix' => '</div>',
);
$form['submit'] = array(
'#type' => 'submit',
'#value' => t('Submit'),
'#attributes' => array('class' => array('submit')),
'#ajax' => array(
'callback' => '_display_form',
'wrapper' => 'job-agent-form',
'method' => 'replace',
'effect' => 'fade',
),
return $form;
}
function _display_form($form, &$form_state) {
// there are other form elements that would go here also, I just added two for example
$type_options = array(
'VISTA-HealthCare-Partners-Government' => 'Vista Healthcare Partners',
'International' => 'International Locum Tenens',
'Permanent' => 'Permanent Physician',
'US-Locum-Tenens' => 'US Locum Tenens',
);
$form['job_type'] = array(
'#type' => 'checkboxes',
'#multiple' => TRUE,
'#title' => 'Type of Job',
'#options' => $type_options,
'#empty_option' => 'Choose a placement type',
'#empty_value' => 'all',
//'#default_value' => $type_selected,
);
$form['active'] = array(
'#type' => 'checkbox',
'#title' => 'Subscribe/Unsubscribe',
'#default_value' => 1,
);
return $form;
}
I would go for creating all fields in the form than use hook_form_alter() to hide the unneeded ones with ['#access'] = FALSE.
I have a form which has some disabled fields, when the form is submitted both $this->request->data and $_POST is empty, removing the disabled fields and it is fine again. I would have though it would still pass though the non-disabled fields. I've even tried to remove the disabled field attribute when the submit button is pushed but this still returns an empty array.
Is there something cake related that might be causing this?
Thanks
// SNIPPET FROM THE VIEW CODE:

// JS FROM THE VIEW
$(function () {
var $adminOnly = $('.adminOnlyField');
$adminOnly.prop('disabled',true).prop('readonly',true);
$adminOnly.attr("onclick","return false");
$adminOnly.attr("onkeydown","return false");
$adminOnly.removeClass('required');
$adminOnly.removeClass('date_picker');
$('.clear_ready_only').click(function(e)

e.preventDefault();
$adminOnly.prop('disabled',false).prop('readonly',false);
$adminOnly.attr("onclick","return true");
$adminOnly.attr("onkeydown","return true");
$('#CardModifysaleForm').submit();
});
});
That's the way HTML works, disabled don't get posted. CakePHP can't change what is sent from the browser. If you still want the value you can set it as a hidden element.
Update
Some problems I see:
Missing Form::end() in view (always a good idea to insert it).
You never said your form was submitted from JS, first test with a simple form POST then JS.
Your JS code is set to submit a form by ID CardModifysaleForm. There's no such ID in your supplied view code and you're not setting your form to that ID from the snippet you supply.
I ended up removing the disabled option from this, leaving the ready only and added some addition CSS stylings so it looked disabled to the user. This is not the exact answer to the question but works as a different approach.
Hi there I have a table in which combination of three fields is unique. I want to put the check of duplication on this combination. Table looks like
I know how to validate single field, But how to validate the combination is not know. To validate one field I use the following function
public function isValid($data) {
// Options for name field validation
$options = array(
'adapter' => Zend_Db_Table::getDefaultAdapter(),
'table' => 'currencies',
'field' => 'name',
'message'=> ('this currency name already exists in our DB'),
);
// Exclude if a id is given (edit action)
if (isset($data['id'])) {
$options['exclude'] = array('field' => 'id', 'value' => $data['id']);
}
// Validate that name is not already in use
$this->getElement('name')
->addValidator('Db_NoRecordExists', false, $options
);
return parent::isValid($data);
}
Will any body guide me how can I validate duplication on combined fields?
There is no ready to use validator for this, as far as I know. You have either to write your own, or do a check with SQL-query with three conditions (one for each field).
you have to Apply a validation on name element of zend form.
Here is code for add validation on name field.
$name->addValidator(
'Db_NoRecordExists',
true,
array(
'table' => 'currencies',
'field' => 'name',
'messages' => array( "recordFound" => "This Currency Name already exists in our DB") ,
)
);
And you must set required true.
