Hi.
I have created a subclass Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu because I
want to override the load_form() method. I *think* I have done it right,
but it doesn't work. The load_form method is never called, but FormFu
still works.
What am I doing wrong?
Hi Markus,
I think you've been confused by the documentation which gives an
example of FormMethod('load_form') as a way to call a method in your
own controller, to return a form.
If that's all you want to do, you don't need to sub class, just make
sure that you use FormMethod() instead of FormConfig(), and that the
load_form() method is in your controller class.
The reason it's not currently working, is there's no load_form()
method anywhere in the FormFu controller code, so nothing's calling
it.
An example of what I think you should be doing:
package Superclix::Controller::Partnerprogramm;
use strict;
use warnings;
use parent 'Catalyst::Controller';
sub load_form {
my ($self, $c) = @_;
# returns a HTML::FormFu object
# can get an empty form to start with using $c-form;
}
sub neu : Local : FormMethod('load_form') {
my ($self, $c) = @_;
my $form = $c-stash-{form};
}
Cheers,
Carl

I don't want to work with an empty form. I want to get the form as created by
formconfig and add some things to it. That's why I think subclassing is the
way to go.
BTW, I'd be interested to know what you're trying to achieve.
Sub-classing Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu::Action::FormConfig
won't allow you to intercept the form between it being populated with
the config-file, and $form-process() being called.
Although this often isn't an issue, you particularly don't want to
have to call process() twice if it's doing anything heavy-weight such
as calling DBIC or dealing with file uploads.
What I normally do is create a custom HTML::FormFu::Plugin::* class
with a process sub that does the necessary work.
It'll be called automatically during $form-process() before all the
input processing is done.
I've never yet considered having to sub-class C::C::HTML::FormFu or
any of its action classes.

In that case, sub-classing Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu won't help.
You need to create a sub-class of
Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu::Action::FormConfig
and then set your app's config to use your class to handle FormConfig()
myapp.yml
-
'Controller::HTML::FormFu':
config_action: 'Classname::Of::Your::Custom::SubClass'
