Re: Uploaded Form Helper: FormationHelper
Looks promising, I think that you can avoid $data parameter, it must be accessible in the helper through $this-params['data'] (because HtmlHelper needs it) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

Re: Uploaded Form Helper: FormationHelper
mmm..but I think that $this-params['data']=$data; is standard, see
first blog tutorial of wiki,
edit() action:
http://wiki.cakephp.org/tutorials:blog_tutorial_-_1?s=params+data
function edit($id=null)
{
if (empty($this-params['data']))
{
$this-Post-id = $id;
$this-params['data'] = $this-Post-read();
$this-render();
}
else
{
if ( $this-Post-save($this-params['data']['Post']))
{
$this-flash('Your post has been updated.','/posts');
}
}
}
In newer versions of cake, $this-data at controller is used instead, I
think that $this-data doesn't work in this case

Re: Uploaded Form Helper: FormationHelper
Ok now I'm documented.
If you use $this-params['data']=$data at your controller, then in the
helper is accessible through $this-params['data']
If you use $this-data at your controller, then in the helper
$this-data
The correct way is to check where is the data. From HtmlHelper:
function tagValue($fieldName) {
$this-setFormTag($fieldName);
if (isset($this-params['data'][$this-model][$this-field])) {
return
h($this-params['data'][$this-model][$this-field]);
} elseif(isset($this-data[$this-model][$this-field])) {
return h($this-data[$this-model][$this-field]);
}
return false;
}
You can use HtmlHelper in your own helper, and doing
$value=$this-Html-tagValue($fieldName) you will get the correct value

Re: Uploaded Form Helper: FormationHelper
You don't need to pass $data to the helpers: see the blog tutorial edit
action:
function edit($id = null)
{
if (empty($this-data))
{
$this-Post-id = $id;
$this-data = $this-Post-read();
}
else
{
if ($this-Post-save($this-data['Post']))
{
$this-flash('Your post has been updated.','/posts');
}
}
}
You always have $this-data at controller, then in your helper
(including the html helper) you can do
$value=$this-Html-tagValue($fieldname)

Re: Uploaded Form Helper: FormationHelper
be careful, you're only using $this-data at helper, but it only works if you put $this-data in controller. There's two ways at controller to set the data, $this-data or $this-params['data']. You must check these two at your helper for ensure compatibility to all the users (if this is what you want). I repeat, use $value=$this-Html-tagValue($fieldName) for maximum compatibility --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

RE: Uploaded Form Helper: FormationHelper
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of RosSoft I repeat, use $value=$this-Html-tagValue($fieldName) for maximum compatibility Thanks for the pointer. I actually ended up copying the HtmlHelper code into FormationHelper and modifying it, because tagValue was calling h() (AKA htmlspecialchars() ) on the value, which escapes HTML entities. Since I am using my database to store HTML text, that's not what I wanted. But the latest version of my posted code supports both $this-params['data'] and $this-data.

Re: Uploaded Form Helper: FormationHelper
I've also been working on a similar form helper. I just uploaded it at: http://cakeforge.org/snippet/detail.php?type=snippetid=75 It extends Cake's Form helper and also takes the validation from the model (using the advanced validation method - multiple rules per field) so you don't have to retype the validation messages or which fields are required, in your view. It's still a work in progress and requires a few other components (the advanced validator, and error helper), but maybe we can learn from each other and get a really good form helper out there. I'm all for as little typing as possible! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

RE: Uploaded Form Helper: FormationHelper
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of brandags
Wait - but don't I still need to send the validation rules,
etc. to the
view? Can you change what parameters are sent to the
startup() function?
Well, here is your init function:
function init($validations=null, $data=null)
{
$formData = array('validations' = $validations, 'data'=$data);
$this-controller-set('formData', $formData);
}
And you are calling it like this:
function beforeFilter()
{
$this-Myform-controller = $this;
$this-Myform-init($this-User-validate, $this-data);
}
So you should be able to do this:
// seemed to work with preliminary testing...
function startup( $controller )
{
$validations = array() ;
foreach( $controller-modelNames as $model )
{
$validations += $controller-$model-validate ;
}
$this-controller = $controller ;
$this-controller-set( 'formData', array(
'validations' = $validations,
'data' = $this-controller-data ) ) ;
}
