Form Validation: Require that one item of a SelectionGroup is selected

Fri, 29 Sep 2017 02:52:44 +1300

I want customers to rate a product from 1-4. I've made a form with a SelectionGroup containing 4 SelectionGroup_Item fields. I'm trying to validate if the customer has made a selection. Server-side it seems to work, the form only goes through when an option is selected. But no error-message is shown if none are selected, so the customer is left in the dark as to why their form wasn't sent.

Any ideas? Thanks very much!

$gradeBoxes = array(
new SelectionGroup_Item($this->Note4, '', $this->Note4),
new SelectionGroup_Item($this->Note3, '', $this->Note3),
new SelectionGroup_Item($this->Note2, '', $this->Note2),
new SelectionGroup_Item($this->Note1, '', $this->Note1),
);
$gradeField = new SelectionGroup('Grade', $gradeBoxes);
$gradeField->setCustomValidationMessage('Please select one.');
$fields->push($gradeField);
$required = new RequiredFields(array('Grade'));
$form = new Form($this, 'FeedbackForm', $fields, $actions, $required);

Silverstripe CMS login not showing input or password fields

Tue, 19 Sep 2017 08:49:58 +1200

I've just started using the Silverstripe framework and up until now the templates have been showing the CMS admin login page. Today something's changed and now I can't login to the CMS dashboard because the login form doesn't show the username or password fields - just the login button and password retrieval link!! I've tried to find a similar issue that's been solved and can't find anything in any of the forums.

Checkboxsetfield and its name attribute

Thu, 17 Aug 2017 18:00:52 +1200

Hey folks,
first i wanna say HELLO to everyone. I am a silverstripe user for almost a year and a half and now i joined the cummunity because i need your help.

So lets go: i am using a checkboxfieldset for a frontend form. Additionally i am using the jquery validate plugin for this form. The plugin wants to have its rules in a form like this...

rules{
Fieldname:{
required:true,
minlength:1
}
}

My problem is that silverstripe generates the fieldset with name-attributes like so:

name=Fieldname[Value A]

name=Fieldname[Value B]

and These dont fit to the rules-syntax of the validate plugin. Which has to be

name=Fieldname[]

Either i am using the checkboxfield wrong or i missed to learn a basic html-form-pattern regarding array-name-attributes :D

I hope you can help me!! ;)

Hi all,
Is it possible to use include within CustomFormTemplate.ss file?
I wanted to display some template data within <form> and </form>, and I followed the steps from How to Create Lightweight Form and put

<% include CustomBlock %>

in CustomFormTemplate.ss , but it is not working

CustomFormTemplate.ss file is in templates directory not in Include.

How to know which Form was used when a DataObject is saved?

Tue, 06 Jun 2017 23:15:43 +1200

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the correct category for this question. I have a DataObject upon which I have created an onBeforeWrite() method. Inside that method I need to somehow know where the current saving request came from. If I knew the Form that was used during the request, I could know which fields are available and which are not.

I can't just use Controller::curr()->getRequest()->postVars() to find out which fields were submitted because, well... that would create a security vulnerability. For example I might have an advanced form in the backend that has all kind of fields that are meant for administrators only. Then I might have a more simpler form in the frontend - designed for logged in users but not necessarily admins - that is supposed to change a small set of fields. In this case a hacker could add his own fields to the HTML form and she would be able to alter values that were not designed to be altered a) by non admins and/or b) from the frontend.

Another considerable way would be to check which Controller is currently in use. This way I could tell if the request originates from the backend or from the frontend. But I might need something more sophisticated just in case if there will be multiple forms inside the backend that would write stuff to this object.

Thanks for your support! :)

How to call a function from checkboxSetField template

Fri, 02 Jun 2017 12:14:53 +1200

I have a form with a checkboxSetField list which works as expected.
For each checkbox item in the loop I want to call a method, I know this is out of scope so I have created an extension.

CheckboxSetField::add_extension('OperatorFormExtension');

OperatorFormExtension.php

class OperatorFormExtension extends DataExtension {
public function testing($ID) {
return 'hello - '.$ID;
}
}

checkboxSetField.ss

<% loop $Options %>
<input id="$ID" class="checkbox" name="$Name" type="checkbox" value="$Value.ATT"<% if $isChecked %> checked="checked"<% end_if %><% if $isDisabled %> disabled="disabled"<% end_if %> />
<label for="$ID">$Title, testing('myParam')</label><br>
<% end_loop %>

When I call the method as above I don't get anything displayed on the page.
If I extend the Form class instead of CheckboxSetField I can call the testing method from the form but still not from the checkboxSetField template.

How do I call a method from the CheckboxSetField.ss template?

Re: Sign Up Form that upon submition adds and entry in a custom Dataobject

Thu, 01 Jun 2017 02:24:05 +1200

Hi @Michael J James,

Thank you very much for your response. This has been very helpful, it works.

Just for my curiosity:
I was looking in the DataObject class to find how does a DataObject adds entries when you add the from the CMS and use the same php code. Is it by chance the second way you said ?

Have a great day Michael !

Re: Sign Up Form that upon submition adds and entry in a custom Dataobject

Thu, 01 Jun 2017 00:17:37 +1200

Hi @SilverstripeLearner

You can do this two ways

First:

public function SendSignUpForm($data, $form) {

$data_FirstName = $data['FirstName'];
$data_LastName = $data['LastName'];
$data_Email = $data['Email'];

$signup = new SignUpper();
$signup->FirstName = $data_FirstName;
$signup->LastName = $data_LastName;
$signup->Email = $data_Email;
$signup->write();

return $this->redirect($this->Link('?name=' . $data_FirstName . ' ' . $data_LastName . '&email=' . $data_Email));
}

Second:

The Second option will only work if the field names are the same as the object db fields

public function SendSignUpForm($data, $form) {

$data_FirstName = $data['FirstName'];
$data_LastName = $data['LastName'];
$data_Email = $data['Email'];

$signup = new SignUpper();
$form->saveInto($signup);
$signup->write();

return $this->redirect($this->Link('?name=' . $data_FirstName . ' ' . $data_LastName . '&email=' . $data_Email));
}

Thanks
Michael

Sign Up Form that upon submition adds and entry in a custom Dataobject

Wed, 31 May 2017 23:05:15 +1200

Hello,

I have the following Form:

public function SignUpForm() {
      $form = Form::create(
         $this,
         __FUNCTION__,
         FieldList::create(
            TextareaField::create('FirstName', '')
               ->setAttribute('placeholder', 'First Name')
               ->addExtraClass('form-control'),
            TextareaField::create('LastName', '')
               ->setAttribute('placeholder', 'Last Name')
               ->addExtraClass('form-control'),
            EmailField::create('Email', '')
               ->setAttribute('placeholder', 'Email Address')
               ->addExtraClass('form-control')
         ),
         FieldList::create(
            FormAction::create('SendSignUpForm', 'Submit')
         ),

         RequiredFields::create('FirstName', 'LastName', 'Email')
      );

      return $form;
   }

   public function SendSignUpForm($data, $form) {
      $data_FirstName = $data['FirstName'];
      $data_LastName = $data['LastName'];
      $data_Email     = $data['Email'];
      new SignUpper();

      return $this->redirect($this->Link('?name=' . $data_FirstName . ' ' . $data_LastName . '&email=' . $data_Email));
   }

SignUpper is a custom object. Everytime someone completes the form, I want a Signupper entry to be added. I don't really know how to continue this. And also
later I would like to create a ModelAdmin to see all those entries.

I'll post here the SignUpper.php file as well:

class SignUpper extends Dataobject {
   public static $db = array(
      'FirstName' => 'Varchar(100)',
      'LastName'   => 'Varchar(120)',
      'Email'   => 'Varchar(120)'
   );
}

EDIT: A custom SQL query would work but I would like that solution to be a last resort situation. I want to do this the right way

Re: "$.entwine is not a function" error with TreeMultiSelectField in a Front End Form

Tue, 30 May 2017 00:14:31 +1200

I'm not entirely sure this would resolve your issue, because I ran into this error message in a different context (using zenvalidator, newest version, which ships with parsley 2.5 and interacts with SS's version of entwine but my site uses jquery 2+). It turns out that in my case the jquery version was so new, it no longer had browser detection built in. So I solved it by adding the jquery browser plugin as suggested through this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14793331/uncaught-typeerror-cannot-read-property-msie-of-undefined

ListboxField not showing disabled values

Sat, 27 May 2017 01:52:25 +1200

I have the following field:

ListboxField::create('ArrayValues', 'ArrayValues:')->setMultiple(true)->setSource($formatted_data)->addExtraClass

in the $formatted_data variable I stored the values I want to disable. The problem is when i want to select from my dropdown I want to see
those disabled values.

After doing some research with the browser's inspector, I noticed that there is a select that it's actually hidden, and the <option> tags inside have
the correct disabled attribute AND SilverStripe actually displays those whithin an ul and somehow this ul in linked with the select.

Anyway, does anyone know what I can do to still be able to see those disabled values ?

Optionset fields and taxonomies

Tue, 18 Apr 2017 12:33:10 +1200

This seems the best place to post this, but if I've misjudged that please move it (if you're a moderator) or let me know.

We're using User Defined Forms and the Taxonomy module. We want to integrate the two. Specifically, we want content editors to be able to select any existing taxonomy instead of manually entering options for drop-down lists, checkbox lists or radio button lists. There are two business requirement that make this tricky:

the options must be included dynamically, not saved in the EditableOption table
we can't fork and edit either module - we'll have to use extensions or derive replacement classes

Has anyone done something similar? All input is welcome.

Testing email contact forms from local server

Wed, 05 Apr 2017 09:56:00 +1200

Hi there,

I am building a contact form which sends an email upon submission using a combination of approaches provided in SilverStripe documentation (Introduction to frontend forms, and Simple contact form).

The code (included below) seems to be working fine, however I am wondering if it is possible to send test emails from a local server (in my case, MAMP) to properly test the functionality.

Many thanks in advance,
racht

public function ContactForm() {
         $form = Form::create(
            $this,
            __FUNCTION__,
            FieldList::create(
               TextField::create('Name','')
                  ->setAttribute('placeholder','Name*')
                  ->addExtraClass('form-field'),
               EmailField::create('Email','')
                  ->setAttribute('placeholder','Email*')
                  ->addExtraClass('form-field'),
               TextareaField::create('Message','')
                  ->setAttribute('placeholder','Message*')
                  ->addExtraClass('form-field')
            ),
            FieldList::create(
               FormAction::create('submit', 'Send Message')
                  ->setUseButtonTag(true)
                  ->addExtraClass('text-button')
            ),
            RequiredFields::create('Name','Email','Message')
         );

$form->addExtraClass('contact-form');

return $form;
}

public function submit($data, $form){
$email = new Email();

         $email->setTo('email@email.com');
         $email->setFrom($data['Email']);
         $email->setSubject("Contact Message from {$data["Name"]}");

         $messageBody = "
            <p><strong>Name:</strong> {$data['Name']}</p>
            <p><strong>Message:</strong> {$data['Message']}</p>
         ";
         $email->setBody($messageBody);
         $email->send();

$form->sessionMessage("Thanks for your message, I'll get back to you as soon as I can",'good');

return $this->redirectBack();

Re: UserForms validation error + Upload field missing

Wed, 22 Mar 2017 05:17:53 +1300

I'm guessing this issue for you quanto has either been resolved or you have moved on?

Nevertheless, for anyone landing on this question with the same issue, you will need to install the 'secureassets' module for the UploadField to become available within the CMS Form Builder. This is security precaution for all versions of Userforms from version 3.0.0 Final.

See below for reference:

[SOLVED] ItemEditForm returns "empty tab space" after creating new item

Fri, 24 Feb 2017 02:22:46 +1300

Hi,
my version is 3.5.1,

I have this problem, after I create a new item in model admin, ItemEditForm will return "empty tab space" after ajax call and therefore it is handled as "not empty" and it is handled in wrong way what ends in blank page scenario.

What I have found out yet:
1. I submit create new item button
2. ajax request is fired:
http://localhost/mysite/admin/some-modeladmin/MyItem/EditForm/field/MyItem/item/new/ItemEditForm
LeftAndMain.js #498
3. on success it gets "nothing" like it should get
LeftAndMain.php #514 - return ''; // Actual response will be re-requested by client
However somehow there is "empty tab space" before this (in front of it) in returning data and I do not know why yet
LeftAndMain.js #506 - success(data, ..) -> data looks like '{empty tab}'.'' and not just like ''
So at this point it will "fail" here:
LeftAndMain.js #744 - if(!data) return; -> "empty tab space" is not considered as empty so it will continue
And finaly it will change content to update to "Content" from "CurrentForm,Breadcrumbs" at
LeftAndMain.js #602
Blank page is here :-)

Is this issue fixed in newer releases or? Could you give me a hand where can I trace this "tab"?

Thanks!

P.S. It will disappear when I use silverstripe-debugbar module.

Edit: To clarify, when I move MyItem into another admin it works normally

FinalEdit: Problem was with tab space before opening php tag in another DataObject file from the ModelAdmin. You can google some details about ajax response data whitespace or take a quick look here.

Log in form field showing FormField.ss

My admin log in page is now showing "FormField.ss" instead of the form box. This is the second time it has happened. I have not edited code, just installed and removed modules with composer.
Searching has not resulted in any help.
Thanks.

This problem has now occurred in four fresh installs. I haven't been able to pinpoint the cause as not doing the same things when it happens. Going backwards removing modules and changes hasn't worked. Changing the theme has. Any ideas at all please.

How i added the Recaptcha in mysite/_Config/config.yml

FormSpamProtectionExtension:
default_spam_protector: RecaptchaProtector
RecaptchaField:
public_api_key: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
private_api_key: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

The strange thing is if I use Math Spam protection it shows up but this does not

Re: Setting the default value for OptionsetField derived from a list of DataObjects

Tue, 10 Jan 2017 11:29:42 +1300

The reason it is not working is because the source you are using from LotteryFeed is going to be an array with the ID of the dataobject as the element key.
So try something like this

$map = LotteryFeed::get()->map('ID','Title');
$fields = new FieldList(
OptionsetField::create('LotteryFeedID', 'LotteryFeed', $map, LotteryFeed::get()->first()->ID)
);

Setting the default value for OptionsetField derived from a list of DataObjects

Fri, 06 Jan 2017 18:59:39 +1300

Hey all,

I have a front end form which requires the selection of a lottery feed using OptionsetField. I need to check the first item by default but I can't get it to work.
Before i go completely bonkers, Is there anyone out there able to set me right please?

Initially this was my field code .

OptionsetField::create('LotteryFeedID', 'LotteryFeed')
->setSource(LotteryFeed::get()->map('ID','Title'))

I attempted defining the source as a variable ($map) outside the FieldList and then calling it as follows; using the api example for OptionsetField:

$map = LotteryFeed::get()->map('ID','Title');
$fields = new FieldList(
OptionsetField::create('LotteryFeedID', 'LotteryFeed', $map, $map[0])
);

No error on build this time, but it fails to actually check the first item in the list on the template.

I then attempted to set the default value in the class itself

private static $defaults = array (
'LotteryFeed' => '[0]' // not sure of the syntax here
);

Banging my head against the wall isn't helping, it's no doubt super easy but I cannot find reference to the correct answer.

Thanks in advance

Ben

Re: Global error message if custom form fails validation...

Legend.

I have very little hair left to pull out, but this seemingly insane workaround did the trick. The Form class should really have some way to intercept its internal validation routine.

Re: Clear Password Field after wrong validation

I would probably try and call the setValue method with a parameter of null on the Password FormField in your validator.
You could also achieve this with Javascript as well by checking for a css error class on the Password field and clearing it with Javascript.

Clear Password Field after wrong validation

Sat, 10 Dec 2016 04:09:52 +1300

Hello. I have big problem with my validation. I have register form and validator extending RequiredFields. Validation works but I cant figure out how to clear password fields after every wrong submit. Password is ConfirmedPasswordField with default validator.

public function RegisterForm() {
      $form = new Form (
         $this,
         'RegisterForm',
         $this->getProfileFields('Registration'),
         new FieldList(
            new LiteralField ('content', $this->obj('RegistrationContent')),
            new FormAction('register', _t('MemberProfiles.REGISTER', 'Register'))
         ),
         new MemberProfileValidator($this->Fields())
      );
      return $form;
   }

Submitting form sometimes does a 302 redirect instead of posting

Mon, 28 Nov 2016 18:19:51 +1300

Hi,

I am currently developing a user profile form with a set of 4 checkboxes in a checkboxsetfield. When selecting all 4 the form posts fine and removing the first 2 works fine. For some reason when I have the 3rd and 4th preselected, and decide to remove the 3rd the site does a 302 redirect when I refresh both 3rd and 4th are still selected. When I uncheck the 4th its the same issue. but if I uncheck both it submits fine. I've tried a various number of combinations with the checkboxes but its something too do with the 3rd and 4th checkbox which is performing a 302 redirect on submit. Has anyone else run into this issue before?

Search matches with less than 4 characters

Fri, 14 Oct 2016 13:57:33 +1300

It appears that the built-in search is skipping some possible results because the word is too short (4 characters or less, from what I can see.) Example: I have a page containing the following text:

The GTD Library folder which these and other library documents are in is replicated in each office.

If I search for GTD, the page isn't listed in the results. If I search for library, the page is listed in the results.

Any ideas on how to enable a search of everything down to 2 characters?

Form with SS_HTTPRequest could not be converted to string

Fri, 23 Sep 2016 00:32:45 +1200

I have a form that would work if i wouldn't have da Dataobject in it.

public function AntwortForm($ID) {

$Nummer=Vortest_Fragen::get()->byID($ID);
      if ($Nummer) { $Art=$Nummer->Art;}
      if ($Art == "Normal"){
$fields = new FieldList(
TextAreaField::create('Antwort'),
HiddenField::create('ID','ID',$ID),
HiddenField::create('VortestID','VortestID',$this->request->param("ID")),
HiddenField::create('Aktion','Aktion',$this->request->param("Action"))

);
      } else {
         $Optionen = explode(";",$Nummer->Optionen);
         $a = "A";

         for ( $i=0 ; $i<count ($Optionen); $i++) {
         $Op[$a] ='<div style="width:25px;display:inline;">'.$a.')</div> '.$Optionen[$i];

            $a++;
         }


         $fields = new FieldList(
CheckboxSetField::create('Antwort',"Antwort",$Op),
HiddenField::create('ID','ID',$ID),
HiddenField::create('VortestID','VortestID',$this->request->param("ID")),
HiddenField::create('Aktion','Aktion',$this->request->param("Action")),
HiddenField::create('Art','Art',$Nummer->Art)

);
      }
$actions = new FieldList(
FormAction::create('AntwortEintragen', 'Eintragen')
);

$form = new Form($this, 'AntwortForm', $fields, $actions);
return $form;
}
function AntwortEintragen($data, $form) {

       //Aktion für Schaltfläche, Formulardaten in DB speichern
       //existiert der Satz schon?
       $Antwort = Vortest_Antwort::get()->filter(array('FrageID' => $data['ID'], 'SchreiberID' => Member::currentUserID()));
       //wenn nicht: neu anlegen
       foreach($Antwort as $item) {
          $item->delete();
         }

       foreach ($data['Antwort'] as $Antwort) {
          $Ant.=$Antwort.',';
          }
         $Antwort = new Vortest_Antwort();

       // und immer speichern
       if ($data['Antwort']) {
       $form->saveInto($Antwort);
       if ($data['Art']=="Mechanics") {
          $Antwort->Antwort = $Ant;
       }
       $Antwort->SchreiberID=Member::currentUserID();
       $Antwort->FrageID=$data['ID'];
       $Antwort->write();
       }
       $VID=$data['VortestID'];
       // und zurück auf die Erfassungsseite mit leerem Formular
      if ($data['Aktion']=="AlleFragen") {
         $this->redirect('/vortest/AlleFragen/'.$VID.'#'.$data['FrageNr']);
      } elseif ($data['Aktion']=="Einzelfrage") {
         $this->redirect('/vortest/Einzelfrage/'.$VID);
      } else {
       $this->redirect('/vortest/Test/'.$VID.'#'.$data['FrageNr']);
       }
}

It works when I change the $ID to a number in this line $Nummer=Vortest_Fragen::get()->byID($ID);
When I don't change it I get this message.

[Notice] Array to string conversion in template form

Sat, 27 Aug 2016 01:18:00 +1200

Good day
I have received a [Notice] Array to string conversion error when trying to change one of my input fields to a array. I believe that it is because I do not have it set to a variable.
this is a field that i am getting the ID of my items and this works.

when i try to add this to the post I receive the notice.

If anyone has a idea of what i can do about this issue.
It would be much appreciated
Thanks

Re: Form + email question

Very possible that you don't have sendmail - as hackers would love that to send emails from your server so many hosts disable it. I'd contact the host first.

However I'd recommend using https://github.com/markguinn/silverstripe-email-helpers to convert to SMTP or use something like mailgun with this module https://github.com/kinglozzer/silverstripe-mailgunner

Form + email question

Mon, 15 Aug 2016 10:52:44 +1200

Hi guys,
I am new to SilverStripe and just finished/uploaded a SilverStripe site to a server. i have two issues, first is about the contact form and targeting each input field for customisation. i have used a custom form template and i needed to access each input field. i tried $Fields.dataFieldByName(name) and $Fields.FieldByName(email) but they don't work. i ended up using <% control Fields %> $Field <%end_control> which does not give me individual unique styling option for each of my form $Fields. this is what i like to do:
<div class="input-field col s12">
<i class="material-icons prefix">account_circle</i>
$Fields.dataFieldByName(name)
<label for="name">Name</label>
</div>

the other question is about me getting an email after form submission. i have used this:
$email = new Email();
$email->To = "me@myemail.co.nz";
$email->From = $data['email'];
$email->Subject = "A message from : ".$data['name'];;
$email->Body = $data['message'];
$email->send();
this works fine on my localhost but now that i have uploaded the project on my Digital Ocean server it does not send me emails upon form submission. am i missing something here?
thank you for your help
Beshad

Re: Creating a new custom form (Not using the CMS Controllers)

Mon, 01 Aug 2016 21:26:28 +1200

Hi,

I'm no expert, but I think I spot a few problems here.

The biggest issue I see is that the allowed action of 'addForm' does not match the name of the function which is just 'add'. Please try calling the function addForm to match the rest of the code.

Also I am wondering, if you are not using the CMS package can someone be logged in as ADMIN? For the allowed actions have you tried changing 'addForm' => 'ADMIN', to just 'addForm'?

Also where the form is defined $form = new Form($this, 'addForm', $fields, $actions, $required); the variable $required is not created/specified anywhere beforehand.

Hope this helps.

Re: Form Validation

Mon, 01 Aug 2016 16:31:11 +1200

Hi,

Take a look a the Zen Validator module. https://github.com/sheadawson/silverstripe-zenvalidator. In my opinion this is the best validator module for SilverStripe.

In particular the "Validation Logic - Conditional Constraints" near the end of the readme which mentions using "Display Logic" like conditions. You could use this to only require certain fields, such as when the delivery option is free or not free.

In your function which creates the form fields...

$TradeAddress1->validateIf('DeliveryOption')->isEqualTo('free');
$TradeAddress2->validateIf('DeliveryOption')->isEqualTo('free');

$CustomerAddress1->validateIf('DeliveryOption')->isEqualTo('not-free');
$CustomerAddress2->validateIf('DeliveryOption')->isEqualTo('not-free');

Then create this function below the one which creates the form fields...

public function getCMSValidator()
{
$validator = ZenValidator::create();

$validator->addRequiredFields(
array(
'TradeAddress1',
'TradeAddress2',
'CustomerAddress1',
'CustomerAddress2',
)
);

return $validator;
}

setFormAction after form has been returned

Fri, 10 Jun 2016 22:39:06 +1200

Hi there,
Is there a way to send form data to an external URL after the form has been returned? setFormAction only works before.

public function PayForm() {

$fields = new FieldList(
TextField::create('USER1', 'Name and Surname'),
TextField::create('EMAIL', 'Email')
);

$actions = new FieldList(
FormAction::create("doPayment")->setTitle("Pay Now")
);

$required = new RequiredFields('Name');
$form = new Form($this, 'PayForm', $fields, $actions, $required);
$form->setFormMethod('GET');
return $form;
}

public function doPayment($data, Form $form) {
$data['CHECKSUM'] = md5($data['NAME'].$data['SURNAME']);
$form = new Form($this, 'doPayment', $fields, $actions, $required);

      //Send data to URL here

   }
}

Creating a new custom form (Not using the CMS Controllers)

Tue, 10 May 2016 10:49:56 +1200

Hi Experts,

I am trying to create a new custom form that is extended from the "Controller" class. I have seen many tutorials but all the controllers are extending from CMS Controllers. I am trying to use the case when the CMS bundle/package is not included and building it from scratch. Here is my code i.e.

Controller location: mysite/code/controllers/GalleryController.php

class GalleryController extends Controller {
private static $allowed_actions = array(
'index',
'addForm' => 'ADMIN',
);

public function index(SS_HTTPRequest $request)
{
return $this->getResponse();
}

public function add(SS_HTTPRequest $request){
$fields = new FieldList(
TextField::create('imageName', 'Image Name')
);

$actions = new FieldList(
FormAction::create("galleryActMsgs")->setTitle("Gallery Images Area")
);

$form = new Form($this, 'addForm', $fields, $actions, $required);

return $form;
}

public function galleryActMsgs($data, Form $form){
$form ->sessionMessage("Data Saved Successfully....", 'success');

return $this->redirectBack();
}

Template file created at: mysite/templates/GalleryController_add.ss

$addForm

URL to access the above controller i.e.

http://localhost:8011/ss_pac/gallery/addForm
NOTE: The above URL was working fine before adding form code.

Error by accessing the above url:
There seems to have been a technical problem. Please click the back button, refresh your browser, and try again.

I tried the following steps i.e.
http://localhost:8011/ss_pac/dev/build?flush=all The above url build everything without any error.
http://localhost:8011/ss_pac/gallery/addForm?flush=1 This gives the same above error.

Looking for a quick help on it and hope this will be helpful for others as well.

Cheers,
Naveed.

ModelAdmin - Intercept edit form submit

Wed, 04 May 2016 03:13:41 +1200

There is following Notification DataObject

class Notification extends DataObject {

      private static $db = array (
         'Message' => 'Text',
//...
      );

      private static $has_one = array(
         'Member' => 'Member', //the recipient
         //...
      );

//...
}

The important part is the has_one relationship with a member. This can't be changed to a many_many relationship.
But, for practical reasons, I want our customer to be able to send a notification to multiple customers at once. Therefore I added the following fields to the notification objects getCMSfields method:

HeaderField::create('SentToHeader', 'Notification senden an...'),
ListboxField::create('Member', '...folgende Mitglieder', $members)->setMultiple(true),
ListboxField::create('Membership', '...Mitglieder folgender Mitgliedschaften', $memberships)->setMultiple(true),

So far, everything is fine.
Now I need to somehow intercept the submit and instead of creating a single notification, create notifications foreach selected member (or for each member in each selected membership). I don't wan't to do this in the notifications onBeforeWrite because I feel like this is a very hacky solution.

Now to my question:
Can I somehow intercept the forms submit event in my model admin and prevent it's default behavior (creating a single new notification) and instead create as many new notification objects as needed?

Thanks in advance
