Hi Matthew
I wanted to know if this is a known issue, or an expected behaviour
(or neither?!)
I'm creating a form composed of a subform and a submit element. The
idea is to create a long list of skills that are returned in array
notation so I can more easily aggregate the results and store in a
database. So the subform works well for this. However I also wanted to
use the display group feature within the subform to group sub-
categories together to make the form more readable. The expected
output should be:-
<form enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" action=""
method="post">
<dl class="zend_form">
<dt></dt>
<dd>
<fieldset id="category6">
<legend>3d Design</legend>
<dl>
<dt><label for="skill-39"
class="optional">Architecture</label></dt>
<dd><input type="checkbox" name="skill[39]"
id="skill-39" value="1"></dd>
<dt><label for="skill-38"
class="optional">Environmental design</label></dt>
<dd><input type="checkbox" name="skill[38]"
id="skill-38" value="1"></dd>
</dl>
</fieldset>
<fieldset id="category7">
<legend>Brand experience</legend>
<dl>
<dt><label for="skill-42"
class="optional">Architecture</label></dt>
<dd><input type="checkbox" name="skill[42]"
id="skill-42" value="1"></dd>
<dt><label for="skill-43"
class="optional">Environmental design</label></dt>
<dd><input type="checkbox" name="skill[43]"
id="skill-43" value="1"></dd>
</dl>
</fieldset>
...etc...
However if I try and add the $this->addDisplayGroup() method to
logically group these categories, all my elements are losing their
array notation and are simply named with their id. Snippet:-
<fieldset id="category6">
<legend>3d Design</legend>
<dl>
<dt><label for="39"
class="optional">Architecture</label></dt>
<dd><input type="checkbox" name="39" id="39"
value="1"></dd>
<dt><label for="38"
class="optional">Environmental design</label></dt>
<dd><input type="checkbox" name="38" id="38"
value="1"></dd>
</dl>
</fieldset>
...etc...
If I disable that line, the elements are named correctly but I lose my
fieldset groupings. Here's my form code example as a reference:-
class My_Form_AccountSkills extends Zend_Form
{
public function init()
{
$this->addSubForm(new My_Form_AccountSkillsSubform(), 'skill');
$submit = new Zend_Form_Element_Submit('login');
$submit->class = 'formsubmit';
$submit->setValue('Login')
->setDecorators(array(
array('ViewHelper', array('helper' => 'formSubmit'))
));
$this->addElements(array(
$submit
));
}
}
class My_Form_AccountSkillsSubform extends Zend_Form_SubForm
{
public function init()
{
$skillModel = new My_Skill_Category();
$skills = array();
$elements = array();
// Loads categories and skills from a database
foreach ($skillModel->fetchAll() as $skill) {
$key = 'category' . $skill->id;
$skills = array();
foreach ($skill->findMy_Skill_List() as $list) {
$checkbox = new Zend_Form_Element_Checkbox($list->id);
$checkbox->setLabel($list->name);
$skills[] = $list->id;
$this->addElement($checkbox);
}
$this->addDisplayGroup($skills, $key, array('legend' =>
$skill->name));
}
}
}
Is this a bug or something that needs to be solved with alternative/
custom decorators? I can pop this into JIRA if it is a bug, however.
Cheers
