form_fields values in advanced module

derozo · September 2016

Hi admin,

I've created advanced module for messages. I'm trying to retrieve form fileds, but when form is rendered, fields return with no values. so, please find below a short of my code and fields returned:

In controller:


function edit($id = NULL){ 
    $this->load->library('form_builder');
    
    $vars['instructions'] = 'Here instructions';
    $values = (array)$this->messages_model->get_message($id)[0];
    $fields = $this->messages_model->form_fields($values);
    
    $this->form_builder->load_custom_fields(APPPATH.'config/custom_fields.php');
    $this->form_builder->submit_value = lang('btn_upload');
    $this->form_builder->set_fields($fields);
    
    $vars['form'] = $this->form_builder->render();
    $this->fuel->admin->render('_blocks/module_create_edit', $vars, '', MESSAGES_FOLDER);
}

For above code, $id is id for mySql table and $values is loaded with :


Array
(
    [id] => 1
    [date_added] => 2016-09-25
    [last_modified] => 2016-09-26 19:12:52
    [title_message] => titulo mensaje
    [body_message] => El mensaje que se desea enviar
    [file] => 
    [all_operators] => 0
    [operators_list] => ["4","15","1","2","7","9","16","17"]
    [deleted] => 0
)

In model:


function form_fields($values = array()){
    $fields = parent::form_fields($values);
    return $fields;
}

Array $fields returned with no values:

Array
(
    [id] => Array
        (
            [name] => id
            [type] => int
            [default] => 
            [options] => 
            [max_length] => 10
            [primary_key] => 1
            [comment] => 
            [collation] => 
            [extra] => auto_increment
            [null] => 
            [required] => 
        )

    [date_added] => Array
        (
            [name] => date_added
            [type] => hidden
            [default] => 
            [options] => 
            [max_length] => 
            [primary_key] => 
            [comment] => 
            [collation] => 
            [extra] => 
            [null] => 1
            [required] => 
        )

    [last_modified] => Array
        (
            [name] => last_modified
            [type] => hidden
            [default] => CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
            [options] => 
            [max_length] => 
            [primary_key] => 
            [comment] => 
            [collation] => 
            [extra] => 
            [null] => 1
            [required] => 
        )

    [title_message] => Array
        (
            [name] => title_message
            [type] => string
            [default] => 
            [options] => 
            [max_length] => 100
            [primary_key] => 
            [comment] => 
            [collation] => latin1_swedish_ci
            [extra] => 
            [null] => 1
            [required] => 1
        )
    ...
    ...

What is your advise for above code? I'm forget something ?

Add the following line:
$this->form_builder->set_field_values($values);

Great, works fine, thank you !

Continuing with the form, I have a 2 new questions:
1. How can I set attrs into form tag, I tried with:


$this->form_builder->set_fields($fields);
$this->form_builder->form_attrs = 'method="post" action="some/url" enctype="multipart/form-data"'; 
$this->form_builder->set_field_values($values);

But it doesn't work.

2. When send javascript from controller to view, It seems no be rendered, or not printed
In controller:


$vars['js'] = '<script>alert("Message")</script>'

In view:

echo $js;

1. What is appearing instead and how are you displaying it in the view file?
2. How are you passing the $vars to the view?

derozo · October 2016

In admin form dashboard appears:

1. <form action="http://mysite.com/dashboard/messages/edit/1?inline="; method="post"; id="form"; enctype="multipart/form-data">...

In view I use:

<?php echo $form; ?>

In controler:

$vars['form'] = $this->form_builder->render();
        $this->fuel->admin->render('_blocks/module_create_edit', $vars, '', MESSAGES_FOLDER);

2. $this->fuel->admin->render('_blocks/module_create_edit', $vars, '', MESSAGES_FOLDER);

In item 2, problem solved removing a typo.

If you are using the main admin template, the form tag may already be in there so check to see if you actually have a form within a form already (which isn't valid HTML). You can pass the variable 'form_action' if you want to set a different action and remove the form tags of your form with:
$this->form_builder->use_form_tag = FALSE;

Unfortunately it doesn't work, I have only one form and put:


        $this->form_builder->use_form_tag = FALSE;
        $this->form_builder->form_action = 'some/action';
//        $this->form_builder->form_attrs = array ('method' =>'post', 'action' =>'some/url', 'enctype' =>'multipart/form-data');

And result is the same:


<form action="http://mysite.com/dashboard/messages/edit/1?inline="; method="post" id="form" enctype="multipart/form-data">

So, is there some method for remove ?inline get variable ?

Did you try setting the variable "form_action" to get passed to the view?

Howdy, Stranger!
