I thought of a structure like this:

   elements:
      - type: Text
        name: forename
      - type: Text
        name: surname
      - type: Hidden
        name: fullname
        filters:
           - type: Join
             fields: [forename, surname]
             join_by: " "


and if fullname is a column in the dbic model it'll be saved.

bad idea?

I'm writing a filter right now but I have no idea how I can get the values
of other fields in the filter() method.

cheers

Hi,

I looked at all elements and filters but I couldn't find one which joins
two fields.

Example:
I have the fields "street" and "street number". The database has only one
field for both (address). The individual fields will not be stored.
Can FormFu join these two fields?

If there is no such thing I'll write a filter and publish it.
cheers,

This is quite good timing, as I'm just this minute looking at zby's
work on "Composed" elements.

I thing this would probably be the correct approach to achieve this,
as there would be major limitations on using just a Filter - for
example, it wouldn't work with HTML-FormFu-Model-DBIC - because there
would be no field named 'address', it still wouldn't get saved to the
database.

Carl
