I've managed to create a multi-checkbox using Zend\Form. Now I have to create a "parent" checkbox. The expected result is quite close from this:
The "Parent 1" action will be to check all childs. This task will be done by JQuery (I guess), but is there a way to generate this pattern using ZF2 form? Or should I manually create the "parent" checkbox with JQuery too (which is quite ugly in my opinion)?
My code for "single level" multi-box:
Controller action:
public function addAction()
{
$form = new RoleForm();
$formattedRights = getStuffFromDb();
$form->get('rights')->setAttribute('options', $formattedRights);
return array(
'form' => $form,
);
}
Zend Form:
...
$this->add(array(
'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\MultiCheckbox',
'name' => 'rights',
'options' => array(
'label' => 'Associated rights',
)
));

i'm having problems with echmultiselect in my project, it doesn't filter at all and inhibits other column filters already working.
View
array (
'name'=>'typeSelectedName',
'value'=>'$data->typeSelected->name',
'filter'=> $this->widget('EchMultiselect', array(
'model' => $model,
'dropDownAttribute' => 'typeSelectedName',
'dropDownHtmlOptions'=> array(
'style'=>'width:225px;',
'multiple'=>true,
),
'data' => array('A'=>'A','B'=>'B','C'=>'C','Z'=>'Z','X'=>'X','K'=>'K','T'=>'T'),
'options' => array(
'header'=> Yii::t('EchMultiSelect.EchMultiSelect',''),
'buttonWidth' => 80,
'position'=>array('my'=>'left bottom', 'at'=>'left top'),
'ajaxRefresh' => true,
'multiselect'=>true,
'filter'=>true,
),
),
true // capture output; needed so the widget displays inside the grid
),
),
Model
$criteria=new CDbCriteria;
$criteria->compare('id',$this->id);
if(!empty($this->type)) {
foreach($this->type as $v) {
$criteria->compare('type', $v, false, 'OR');
}
}
$criteria->compare('sa_id',$this->sa_id,true);
...
i am using yii 1.1.13 and i can see this Cgridview:
Your dropdown attribute in multyselect is typeSelectedName while in the model file for criteria you check type attribute.
The multyselect makes an ajax call; so you need to check it and what kind of data are passed in it.
Better you add some options inside multiselect to invoke custom ajax for model filtering: upon returned data do update grid. This way multyselect will be working as the only filter option (no other options will be taken into account); though you might get form data thru this.form.serialize() and make joined filtering.
I am using Doctrine 2 in my Zend Framework 2 Project. I have now created a Form and create one of my Dropdowns with Values from the Database. My Problem now is that I want to change which values are used and not the one which I get back from my repository. Okay, here some Code for a better understanding:
$this->add(
array(
'type' => 'DoctrineModule\Form\Element\ObjectSelect',
'name' => 'county',
'options' => array(
'object_manager' => $this->getObjectManager(),
'label' => 'County',
'target_class' => 'Advert\Entity\Geolocation',
'property' => 'county',
'is_method' => true,
'empty_option' => '--- select county ---',
'value_options'=> function($targetEntity) {
$values = array($targetEntity->getCounty() => $targetEntity->getCounty());
return $values;
},
'find_method' => array(
'name' => 'getCounties',
),
),
'allow_empty' => true,
'required' => false,
'attributes' => array(
'id' => 'county',
'multiple' => false,
)
)
);
I want to set the value for my Select to be the County Name and not the ID. I thought that I would need the 'value_options' which needs an array. I tried it like above, but get the
Error Message: Argument 1 passed to Zend\Form\Element\Select::setValueOptions() must be of the type array, object given
Is this possible at all?
I was going to suggest modifying your code, although after checking the ObjectSelect code i'm surprised that (as far as I can tell) this isn't actually possible without extending the class. This is because the value is always generated from the id.
I create all form elements using factories (without the ObjectSelect), especially complex ones that require varied lists.
Alternative solution
First create a new method in the Repository that returns the correct array. This will allow you to reuse that same method should you need it anywhere else (not just for forms!).
class FooRepository extends Repository
{
public function getCounties()
{
// normal method unchanged, returns a collection
// of counties
}
public function getCountiesAsArrayKeyedByCountyName()
{
$counties = array();
foreach($this->getCounties() as $county) {
$counties[$county->getName()] = $county->getName();
}
return $counties;
}
}
Next create a custom select factory that will set the value options for you.
namespace MyModule\Form\Element;
use Zend\Form\Element\Select;
use Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceLocatorInterface;
use Zend\ServiceManager\FactoryInterface;
class CountiesByNameSelectFactory implements FactoryInterface
{
public function createService(ServiceLocatorInterface $formElementManager)
{
$element = new Select;
$element->setValueOptions($this->loadValueOptions($formElementManager));
// set other select options etc
$element->setName('foo')
->setOptions(array('foo' => 'bar'));
return $element;
}
protected function loadValueOptions(ServiceLocatorInterface $formElementManager)
{
$serviceManager = $formElementManager->getServiceLocator();
$repository = $serviceManager->get('DoctrineObjectManager')->getRepository('Foo/Entity/Bar');
return $repository->getCountiesAsArrayKeyedByCountyName();
}
}
Register the new element with the service manager by adding a new entry in Module.php or module.config.php.
// Module.php
public function getFormElementConfig()
{
return array(
'factories' => array(
'MyModule\Form\Element\CountiesByNameSelect'
=> 'MyModule\Form\Element\CountiesByNameSelectFactory',
),
);
}
Lastly change the form and remove your current select element and add the new one (use the name that you registered with the service manager as the type key)
$this->add(array(
'name' => 'counties',
'type' => 'MyModule\Form\Element\CountiesByNameSelect',
));
It might seem like a lot more code (because it is) however you will benefit from it being a much clearer separation of concerns and you can now reuse the element on multiple forms and only need to configure it in one place.
I want to create a dropdown unique to the users, and found a way to do that, but its not ok with the client.
here is what i`ve done:
public function __construct($name = null, EntityManager $em = null, $userId = null)
{
parent::__construct($name);
$this->setAttribute('method', 'post');
[...]
$this->add(array(
'name' => 'religionId',
'type' => 'DoctrineModule\Form\Element\ObjectSelect',
'options' => array(
'object_manager' => $this->getEntityManager(),
'target_class' => 'Religions\Entity\Religions',
'property' => 'name',
'disable_inarray_validator' => true,
'by_reference' => false,
'is_method' => true,
'find_method' => array(
'name' => 'findBy',
'params' => array(
'criteria' => array('reUserId' => $userId),
'orderBy' => array('name' => 'ASC'),
),
),
),
'attributes' => array(
'multiple' => false,
'required' => false,
)
));
}
This worked, as i was sending the variable reuserId when initializing the form, using $this->identity()
The client wants to inject the user entity and select from there....
Searched stackoverflow and google, but was not able to find anything...any help please? thanks!
To 'inject' anything in ZF2 you will need to use the ServiceManager and create service factories.
It is therefore important to ensure that you are always creating the form via the ServiceManager.
In a controller for instance:
$form = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('MyModule\Form\FooForm');
Then you would need to 'inject' the user buy creating a factory class or closure.
Module.php
public function getFormElementConfig() {
return array(
'factories' => array(
'MyModule\Form\FooForm' => function($fem) {
$serviceManager = $fem->getServiceLocator();
$entityManager = $serviceManager->get('objectmanager'); // Doctrine object manager
// Load the user
// Example is the zfcUser authentication service, however replace
// this with whatever you use to maintain the users id
$user = $serviceManager->get('zfcuser_auth_service')->getIdentity();
// Inject the user entity into the form constructor
$form = new FooForm($user);
return $form;
},
),
);
}
With that said I think you might need to think about the form dependencies. It seems to me that you do not depend on the user entity - but rather the user's id should be used in a database query that reduces the list of 'Religions'.
You could execute this query and then pass the result (The religion collection) to the form in the same way my example shows how to for the user entity - This would then mean you could use a 'normal' Zend\Form\Element\Select rather than the ObjectSelect - meaning no need to inject the ObjectManager etc.
I want to disable the validation on one of the zend form element based on the input on another element on the same form. I need to achieve this using javascript/jquery. Something very common but very surprisingly couldn't find it over the internet.
e.g.
In the controller:
$oFormMassEdit = new Account_Form_Returns_Return();
$this->view->form = $oFormMassEdit;
In Account_Form_Returns_Return's constructor:
$oNoteElement = new Zend_Form_Element_Textarea('option', array(
'required' => true,
));
$this->addElemet($oNoteElement)
$oReasonElement = new Zend_Form_Element_Select('note', array(
'multiOptions' => array (
'return' => 'return',
'defect' => 'Kaput',
'other' => 'Anderer Grund'
),
'required' => true,
));
$this->addElement($oReasonElement);
$this->addDisplayGroup(array('note', 'option'), 'main', array('legend' => 'Retouren'));
$this->addElement('button','send', array(
'type' => 'submit',
'label' => 'Methode speichern',
));
and finally in the view,
<?= $this->form; ?>
Javascript can't (not in a sensible way) switch Zend_Form configuration. What you can do is changing the 'required' param for certain form fields on validation. For example; If you want to allow fieldTwo to be empty if fieldOne has 'desiredValue' as value you can achieve this using the following function in your form:
public function isValid($data) {
if('desiredValue' == $data['fieldOne'])) {
$this->getElement('fieldTwo')->setRequired(false);
}
return parent::isValid($data);
}
I'm working on my custom User module, which basically uses ZfcUser as the foundation. Since every application is different and requires different meta information about users I want this to be easily configurable using a config array.
In my module's global config file I define the custom form fields and in the Module's onBootstrap I extend the ZfcUser registration form using the init event of ZfcUser\Form\Register. So in short I want to do something like this:
$sharedEvents->attach('ZfcUser\Form\Register',
'init',
function($e) use ($sm)
{
/* #var $form \ZfcUser\Form\Register */
$form = $e->getTarget();
// Get relevant config
$config = $sm->get('config');
if ( array_key_exists('redev_user', $config) && is_array($config['redev_user']) )
{
if ( array_key_exists('custom_fields', $config['redev_user']) && is_array($config['redev_user']['custom_fields']) )
{
foreach ($config['redev_user']['custom_fields'] as $curCustomField)
{
$form->add($curCustomField);
}
}
}
[...]
In my config file I then define the custom form fields like this:
<?php
return array(
'redev_user' => array(
'custom_fields' => array(
// Custom fields which will be added to the registration form
array(
'name' => 'firstname',
'type' => 'text',
'options' => array(
'label' => 'First name',
),
),
I do the same thing for the validators; they are being defined in the config file and attached to the form elements in the onBootstrap.
This all works nice and dandy, except when I need a Doctrine form element. In my specific case I would like to use a DoctrineModule\Form\Element\ObjectSelect for the country selectbox. In my config this would look like this:
array(
'name' => 'country',
'type' => 'DoctrineModule\Form\Element\ObjectSelect',
'options' => array(
'label' => 'Country',
//'object_manager' => $sm->get('Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager'),
'target_class' => 'RedevUser\Entity\Country',
'property' => 'countryname',
'is_method' => false,
'find_method' => array(
'name' => 'findBy',
'params' => array(
'criteria' => array(),
'orderBy' => array('countryname' => 'ASC'),
),
),
),
),
Note the commented out line for the object_manager. The ObjectSelect element obviously needs the ObjectManager. The question is how do I inject the ObjectManager while rendering the form based on the config.
I was thinking to render the form element myself and then check if it's an instance of some interface or base class of DoctrineModule\Form\Element. However it turns out there is no such base class or interface. The only thing those elements have in common is that they have a getProxy. Right now my code in onBootstrap looks like this:
foreach ($config['redev_user']['custom_fields'] as $curCustomField)
{
$formElemFactory = $form->getFormFactory();
$elem = $formElemFactory->createElement($curCustomField);
if ($elem instanceof \DoctrineModule\Form\Element\ObjectSelect)
{
// Inject ObjectManager
$elem->getProxy()->setObjectmanager($sm->get('Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager'));
}
$form->add($elem);
}
But I don't really want to check for the different Doctrine form element types. Also it seems a bit dirty to do it like this. Any opinions or ideas of how to do this better/cleaner?
