How to save content? - php

Question

I try to save multilanguaged content in model. I have two models
PostLang
class PostLang extends \yii\db\ActiveRecord
{
public static function tableName()
{
return 'postlang';
}
public function rules()
{
return [
[['post_id', 'lang_id', 'title', 'content'], 'safe'],
[['post_id', 'lang_id'], 'integer'],
[['title', 'content'], 'string'],
[['post_id'], 'exist', 'skipOnError' => true, 'targetClass' => Post::className(), 'targetAttribute' => ['post_id' => 'id']],
];
}
...
public function getPost()
{
return $this->hasOne(Post::className(), ['id' => 'post_id']);
}
}
and Post
class Post extends \yii\db\ActiveRecord {
public static function tableName() {
return 'post';
}
public function behaviors() {
return [
'timestamp' => [
'class' => 'yii\behaviors\TimestampBehavior',
'attributes' => [
\yii\db\ActiveRecord::EVENT_BEFORE_INSERT => ['date_create', 'date_update'],
\yii\db\ActiveRecord::EVENT_BEFORE_UPDATE => ['date_update'],
],
],
];
}
public function rules() {
return [
[['status', 'date_update', 'date_create'], 'integer'],
[['date_update', 'date_create'], 'safe'],
];
}
...
public function getPostlangs() {
return $this->hasMany(Postlang::className(), ['post_id' => 'id']);
}
}
i created a PostController with create method
public function actionCreate() {
$model = new Post();
$post_ru = new PostLang();
$post_en = new PostLang();
if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post())) {
if ($model->save()) {
$dbPost = new PostLang();
$dbPost->title = need to save title;
$dbPost->content = need to save content;
$dbPost->lang_id = need to save lang_id;
$dbPost->post_id = $model->id;
$dbPost->save();
}
return $this->redirect(['view', 'id' => $model->id]);
} else {
return $this->render('create', [
'model' => $model,
]);
}
}
I need to save it in foreach but i don't understand how can i do it.
Form
...
<?= $form->field($post_ru, 'title')->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($post_ru, 'content')->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($post_en, 'title')->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($post_en, 'content')->textInput() ?>
...

Answer 1

You should separate models in your activeForm,because only last model will save.
Form:
<?= $form->field($post_ru, "[0]title")->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($post_ru, "[0]content")->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($post_en, "[1]title")->textInput() ?>
<?= $form->field($post_en, "[1]content")->textInput() ?>
Controller:
public function actionCreate()
{
$model = new Post();
$post_ru = new PostLang();
$post_en = new PostLang();
$postData = Yii::$app->request->post('PostLang');
if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post())) {
if ($model->save()) {
$post_ru->load($postData[0]);
$post_en->load($postData[1]);
if ($post_ru->save()) {
$post_ru->link('post', $model);
}
if ($post_en->save()) {
$post_en->link('post', $model);
}
}
return $this->redirect(['view', 'id' => $model->id]);
} else {
return $this->render('create', [
'model' => $model,
]);
}
}
Don`t forget to +rep,if it was useful.
