Well, it can't be part of ViewScript, as ViewScript can be used with
individual elements as well as forms. However, this would be a good
candidate for a form decorator; you could then do this:
$form->setDecorators(array(
'PrepareElements',
array('ViewScript', array('form.phtml'))
);
I'm adding a request to the tracker for this improvement; I think it
will help a lot of people. The issue URL is:

Re: [fw-general] Zend_Form ViewScript Elements don't show
Matthew,
I am relatively new to ZF (currently using 1.6.2) and am working on a
multi-page form (subforms) and need to have one of my pages use the
ViewScript so that I could write custom HTML for the layout.
I found this post response that helped me in getting my subform partially
working, one key bit of code I was missing was what you provided here:
> Make sure that you call setView() on the elements. Easiest would be to
> do the following at the top of your view script:

However, my subform validation was not working (basically anything I
submitted whether valid or not would break validation) and so I dug into the
ZF code to compare the Zend_Form_Decorator_FormElements render function with
the Zend_Form_Decorator_ViewScript render function.
What I noticed when I looked at the generated source code using the
ViewScript is that my elements did not have the proper assignment to the
subform.
I noticed my form elements under viewscript rendered like this:
Instead of this:
My fix was to make a copy of the ViewScript class, add the following code to
it and set my decorator for that subform with my custom ViewScript.
/*
* Added to retain belongsto info for use in subforms
*/
$belongsTo = ($element instanceof Zend_Form) ?
$element->getElementsBelongTo() : null;
$translator = $element->getTranslator();
foreach ($element as $item) {
$item->setView($view)
->setTranslator($translator);
if ($item instanceof Zend_Form_Element) {
$item->setBelongsTo($belongsTo);
} elseif (!empty($belongsTo) && ($item instanceof Zend_Form)) {
if ($item->isArray()) {
$name = $this->_mergeBelongsTo($belongsTo,
$item->getElementsBelongTo());
$item->setElementsBelongTo($name, true);
} else {
$item->setElementsBelongTo($belongsTo, true);
}
} elseif (!empty($belongsTo) && ($item instanceof
Zend_Form_DisplayGroup))
{
foreach ($item as $element) {
$element->setBelongsTo($belongsTo);
}
}
}
The actual question I have here is, shouldn't this code or something like it
already be a part of the current ViewScript class so that ViewScript can
support subform validation?

Here is what Matthew found out to be the problem. Just posting the solution
for anyone else who has my same issue.

Make sure that you call setView() on the elements. Easiest would be to
do the following at the top of your view script:
foreach ($this->element as $item) {
$item->setView($this);

[fw-general] Zend_Form ViewScript Elements don't show
After looking through the mailing list archives and trying a lot of different
things I can't seem to find out why the form elements won't display from my
viewscript. They display fine when i don't use a viewscript and use the
default decorators.
My viewscript (/application/views/scripts/contactForm.phtml) looks like
this:
Please Fill Me Out
Contact Information
Please provide us with the following information so we may contact
you.
element->firstName; ?>
element->lastName; ?>
element->email; ?>
element->telephoneNum; ?>
Contact Reason & Message
Now please provide us with your reason for contacting us and a brief
message.
element->contactReason; ?>
element->message; ?>
element->submit; ?>
My class in (/application/forms/ContactForm.php) is as follows:
class forms_ContactForm extends Zend_Form {
public function __construct($options = null)
{
parent::__construct($options);
$this->setAction('');
$this->setMethod('post');
$this->setName('contact_us');
$firstName = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('firstName');
$firstName->setLabel('First Name')
->setRequired(true)
->addValidator('NotEmpty', true)
->addValidator('Alpha', true);
$lastName = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('lastName');
$lastName->setLabel('Last Name')
->setRequired(true)
->addValidator('NotEmpty')
->addValidator('Alpha', true);
$telephoneNum = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('telephoneNum');
$telephoneNum->setLabel('Telephone Number')
//->setDescription('example
(555)555-')
->setRequired(false)
->addValidator('NonEmpty');
$email = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('email');
$email->setLabel('Email Address')
->addFilter('StripTags')
->addFilter('StringTrim')
->addFilter('StringToLower')
->setRequired(true)
->addValidator('NotEmpty', true)
->addValidator('EmailAddress');
$contactReason = new Zend_Form_Element_Select('contactReason');
$contactReason->setLabel('Reason for Contact')
->setRequired(true)
->addMultiOption('none','Please
Select One')
->addMultiOption('personal','Personal')
->addMultiOption('business','Business')
->addValidator('NotEmpty');
$message = new Zend_Form_Element_Textarea('message');
$message->setLabel('Comments')
->setAttrib('rows','15')
->setAttrib('cols','70')
->setRequired(true)
->addValidator('NotEmpty');
$submit = new Zend_Form_Element_Submit('submit');
$submit->setLabel('Submit Form');
$this->setDecorators(array(
array('ViewScript',array('viewScript' =>
'forms/contactForm.phtml'))
));
$this->addElements(array($firstName, $lastName, $email,
$telephoneNum,
$contactReason, $message, $submit));
}
}
?>
When the script runs it outputs the fieldsets and the legends with the
descriptions but nothing else is outputted. Any ideas on what could be
causing this. Been trying to figure this out for a few days now and could
really use some help as I'm still learning OOP and the Zend Framework.
