Making radio button labels clickable part deux...can someone pls explain why the example in book 1.3 isn't doing what it says...??
Hi... I posted a couple of days ago re making radio button labels
clickable...but guess my question was too long...and reading it back,
whilst accurate, it was pretty bloody boring too...sorry guys!
(note after writing this...this too has become long - maybe not quite
as boring (I hope), but left me bamboozled.)
I've resorted to removing id from the input altogether as I think it's
better to have nothing take place at all when clicking a label rather
than the top radio button been selected irrespective of which label in
the group is clicked.
However...can someone please explain this to me. I'd still like to
make radio labels clickable for the appropriate radio
button...*sighs*.
On this page: http://book.cakephp.org/view/1390/Automagic-Form-Elements
, about a third of the way down (second para in 7.3.3.3), is an
example of radio buttons with ---between--- text etc. Not really
interested in the --betweens-- or --afters-- etc. Am VERY interested
in the input ids and label fors however...as they seem to render as I
want them to be...
It looks like this:
?php echo $this-Form-input('field', array(
'before' = '--before--',
'after' = '--after--',
'between' = '--between---',
'separator' = '--separator--',
'options' = array('1', '2')
));?
And claims to output this (note the input-id and the label-for are
the same, thus rendering the labels clickable):
Output:
div class=input
--before--
input name=data[User][field] type=radio value=1
id=UserField1 /
label for=UserField11/label
--separator--
input name=data[User][field] type=radio value=2
id=UserField2 /
label for=UserField22/label
--between---
--after--
/div
It doesn't do this for me. Firstly I had to add a type-radio,
otherwise I get a select...which is ok, I added 'type' =
'radio'...but, and this is the frustrating bit...I see this being
generated:
div class=input radio
--beforebetween---
fieldset
legendField/legend
input type=hidden name=data[Member][field]
id=MemberField_
value=
input type=radio name=data[Member][field] id=MemberField
value=0
label for=MemberField1/label
--separator--
input type=radio name=data[Member][field] id=MemberField
value=1
label for=MemberField2/label
/fieldset
--after--
/div
I'm in my members controller here...hence the MemberField rather than
UserField, but that's all...
See my input-ids and label-fors? All identical. Like peas in a pod.
Like things that are indistinguishable from each other. Like twins.
Like..like...like...pah!
Any ideas?? If anyone can help, I'd be eternally grateful...well, for
a bit anyway.
Thanks in advance
Dave
Ok, so this has become long too...and it's about to get longer...
After more trial and error, I've managed to get the labels working,
with this format:
echo $this-Form-input('field1', array(
'type' = 'radio',
'options' = array('Y'=' Yes nbsp;','N' = ' No')
));
which gives:
input type=radio name=data[Member][field1] id=MemberField1
value=Y
label for=MemberField1 Yes nbsp;/label
input type=radio name=data[Member][field1] id=MemberField1N
value=N
label for=MemberField1N No/label/div
(ie appends the N to the MemberField id. By no means ideal, but it
works.)
...but this doesn't work (changed N to M)
echo $this-Form-input('field2', array(
'type' = 'radio',
'options' = array('Y'=' Yes nbsp;','M' = ' No')
));
gives
input type=radio name=data[Member][field2] id=MemberField2
value=Y
label for=MemberField2 Yes nbsp;/label
input type=radio name=data[Member][field2] id=MemberField2
value=M
label for=MemberField2 No/label/div
A I tried a few more examples...
echo $this-Form-input('field3', array(
'legend' = false,
'type' = 'radio',
'options' = array('Y'=' Yes nbsp;','A' = ' Ao')
));
echo $this-Form-input('field4', array(
'legend' = false,
'type' = 'radio',
'options' = array('Y'=' Yes nbsp;','n' = ' no')
));
echo $this-Form-input('field5', array(
'legend' = false,
'type' = 'radio',
'options' = array('Y'=' Yes nbsp;','m' = ' no')
));
echo $this-Form-input('field6', array(
'legend' = false,
'type' = 'radio',
'options' = array('Y'=' Yes nbsp;','a' = ' ao')
));
AND WHAT HAPPENS? field3, 4 and 6 don't work, but, unbelievably field5
does.
For what its worth, here's the html generated by the 4 statements
above:
input type=radio name=data[Member][field3] id=MemberField3
value=Y
label for=MemberField3 Yes nbsp;/label
input type=radio name=data[Member][field3] id=MemberField3
value=A
label for=MemberField3 Ao/label/div
input type=radio name=data[Member][field4] id=MemberField4
value=Y
label for=MemberField4 Yes nbsp;/label
input type=radio name=data[Member][field4] id=MemberField4
value=n
label for=MemberField4 no/label/div
input type=radio name=data[Member][field5] id
Re: Making radio button labels clickable part deux...can someone pls explain why the example in book 1.3 isn't doing what it says...??
Just a quick typo fix on that last statement...after the
Sooadded the number 6 on the input id. That's how
it should read...
input type=radio name=data[Member][field6] id=MemberField6Yes
value=Y
label for=MemberField6YesYes/label
input type=radio name=data[Member][field6] id=MemberField6No
value=N
label for=MemberField6NoNo/label/div

On behalf of dave who accidentally emailed me personally: Hi This is entirely about how cakephp generates html, not the html itself...that's the easy bit. Why do you consider it to be otherwise? Because you didn't read it, clearly. I know how to make radio buttons clickable in html...it's simple. I agree about pointing to a page somewhere and will do this in future. Yes the message is long - I wanted to cover all aspects. I find your tone derisory and quite insulting. I don't appreciate it on a public forum. I won't publicly air my annoyance with you...just wanted to let you know. But as a new cake user how am I supposed to learn about cake without being able to ask the odd question? I've tried everything prior to asking...unlike a lot of people on here. Now then, would you like to read it thru and maybe shed any light on the problem? Or is this reply too long too?

Re: Rudeness (was: Re: Making radio button labels clickable)
Disagree. For starters - rather than creating a new thread by changing the subject, why didn't you just reply in the existing thread? I had to go back and take a look at what you were talking about. Secondly the responses in that thread don't look rude at all. Helpful suggestions for getting helpful responses (keep it brief, use pastebin etc). I've always gotten helpful, quick responses to questions - even when my questions have been borderline moronic. That said people are volunteers, and are busy - so they are entitled to be frustrated when people do silly things (like respond directly to people via mail, repeat questions that have been answered dozens of times etc). I've been on far less helpful lists (lists which are moderated - asking a simple question never even makes it to the list. Simple questions getting asked because of poor documentation never ever get answered). Don't confuse short, sharp, to the point responses as rudeness. People don't often have the time to reply to responses with essays...

Re: Rudeness (was: Re: Making radio button labels clickable)
I guess the main problem with this list is the lack of modern post markup. With too much code as plain text it gets really hard to read and comprehend. I start to think that a google group is not the right board for code related issues. at least consider the possibility to post your issue at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/cakephp you could still re-link it here or sth. but foreign links (pastebin,...) are still links outside of this context, can be unreachable etc. so that's not ideal, either. the group is perfect for more general topics or with only a few lines of code. but other than that it is not really made for developers (especially web developers). as for the rudeness: 99% of all questions asked in a appropriate way get an appropriate answer. I sometimes catch myself writing a little bit too rude and regret this some time later on. But in the heat of the moment I am asking myself How can someone have such a lack of communication skills and common sense if he posts sth like HELP ME. Please program me a messaging plugin. thank you. It's annoying - to all of those. Yes, its a good practice to test your own patience with this patient. But sometimes its just too annoying. I am certainly not saying that rudeness of a thread starter should be treated with rudeness. But it is not only the fault of administrators or contributors - the thread starter has a show a certain respect for the group and the members of it, as well. and this is most certainly not always the case. As I said: A serious and good outlines question (that also shows that you at least tried to come up with a solution yourself for trivial issues) has always been treated as one.

Re: Making radio button labels clickable part deux...can someone pls explain why the example in book 1.3 isn't doing what it says...??
I tried most of your code and all generated labels are clickable. So, I'm not sure what is your actual issue is. Maybe you're outputting inputs for the same field more than once?

Re: Making radio button labels clickable?
Thanks Ryan, I did wonder that before posting my issue yesterday...I
previously prefixed the 1 and 2 with 'reply', so the ids were reply1
and reply2, but to no avail... the code is below, the only change
being the prefix of 'reply' in the array creation. Please note, I've
reverted to the actual reply codes for male and female, 2520 and 2530
respectively, in place of 1 and 2, because I'm a little bemused by the
id cake has now given the inputs (see a little lower), guessing they
depend on the values in the $options array somehow? Where does the Pl
of MemberGenderPl come from? And why?:
$options = array();
$c = 0;
while ($c count($question['Reply'])) {
$options['reply'.$question['Reply'][$c]['id']] = $question['Reply']
[$c]['value'];
$c++;
}
echo $this-Form-input($question['Question']['name'], array(
'type' = 'radio',
'class' = 'list required',
'options' = $options
));
For info, the $options array looks like this after it's created:
Array ( [reply2520] = Male [reply2530] = Female )
This gives me:
input type=radio value=reply2520 class=list required
id=MemberGenderPl name=data[Member][gender]
label for=MemberGenderPlMale/label
input type=radio value=reply2530 class=list required
id=MemberGenderPl name=data[Member][gender]
label for=MemberGenderPlFemale/label/fieldset
Obviously I can see that the $options array value reply2520 and
reply2530 are now set as the value of the inputs.
What I'm trying to achieve (with the real values of 2520 and 2530
instead of 1 and 2, and non-numeric ids) is this:
input type=radio value=2520 class=list required id=reply2520
name=data[Member][gender]
label for=reply2520Male/label
input type=radio value=2530 class=list required id=reply2530
name=data[Member][gender]
label for=reply2530Female/label
Any further help would be great...I just want the ux to be correct, by
the labels being clickable :/. This kind of thing is absolutely
straightforward without using cake $this-Form-input(s), but then I
lose the benefit of the save functionality etc...and I really wanna
get to the bottom of this. Loving cake in all respects except this.
Still think the issue is in the array - any advice anyone please?? I'm
thinking should the array read something like:
Array ( Array( [id] = reply2520, [value] = Male, [for] =
reply2520), Array( [id] = reply2530, [value] = Female, [for] =
reply2530) )
but tried various versions of this without getting there...pretty sure
'for' is not correct for instance...etc etc. Tried lots of things
prior to posting here...and checked all documentation and other user's
issues etc, but no definitive answer, Surely it can't be that tricky?
Flummoxed...
Thanks in advance...
Dave

For the record, 1 and 2 are not valid HTML IDs. IDs must begin with a
letter. Some browsers enforce this.

Making radio button labels clickable?
Got quite lengthy when writing it, but essentially my question below
is how to make radio button labels clickable. Pls read on...
Quite new to Cakephp, and very pleased with results so far, but
perplexed by radio buttons. More accurately, adding labels with the
correct 'for' attribute to make them clickable alongside the correct
radio button (ie where the radio button 'id' and the label 'for' are
the same for each individual radio button).
The form looks perfect, and indeed works perfectly if the user clicks
the actual radio button - but I feel the label should be clickable (am
I getting too anal here?)
What I want to achieve:
input type=radio value=1 class=list required id=1
name=data[Member][gender]
label for=1Male/label
input type=radio value=2 class=list required id=2
name=data[Member][gender]
label for=2Female/label
What I'm getting:
input type=radio value=1 class=list required id=MemberGender
name=data[Member][gender]
label for=MemberGenderMale/label
input type=radio value=2 class=list required id=MemberGender
name=data[Member][gender]
label for=MemberGenderFemale/label
(for info the controller is members_controller.php, using LoadModel to
incorporate the Question model)
So my question is how do I get the correct values in 'id' on the input
and 'for' on the label. I know it should be simple, and have tried
many many variations of what's going into my options array
etc...any help would be much appreciated.
Here's my code as it stands:
$options = array();
$c = 0;
while ($c count($question['Reply'])) {
$options[$question['Reply'][$c]['id']] = $question['Reply'][$c]
['value'];
$c++;
}
echo $this-Form-input($question['Question']['name'], array(
'type' = 'radio',
'class' = 'list required',
'options' = $options
));
All taken from two tables, questions and replies - related via
question.id and reply.question_id
Questions have many replies, so relationship in the Question model is:
var $hasMany = array(
'Reply' = array(
'className' = 'Reply',
'foreignKey'= 'question_id',
'dependent'= true
)
);
The output from doing a find all of a certain question_id (in this
case gender) is:
(
[0] = Array
(
[Question] = Array
(
[id] = 15
[group_id] = 1
[name] = gender
[text] = Gender?
[abbr_text] = Gender
)
[Reply] = Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[id] = 1
[question_id] = 15
[value] = Male
)
[1] = Array
(
[id] = 2
[question_id] = 15
[value] = Female
)
)
)
Sorry for length, hope someone can help. Thanks...D

Re: Making radio button labels clickable?
More info: Just to make it clear, clicking either the Male or Female
label currently sets the male radio button as selected. Also, I'm
guessing my issue is probably in the options array...
