I edit a row on the Post table or add a new row to it from edit() function in PostsController. The function looks like this:
public function edit($id = null) {
// Has any form data been POSTed?
if ($this->request->is('post')) { //Replaced 'post' by 'get' in this line
// If the form data can be validated and saved...
if ($this->Post->save($this->request->data)) {
// Set a session flash message and redirect.
$this->Session->setFlash('Updated the Post!');
return $this->redirect('/posts');
}
}
// If no form data, find the post to be edited
// and hand it to the view.
$this->set('post', $this->Post->findById($id));
}
I simply replaced 'post' by 'get' to see what would happen and it went on creating new rows without even taking me to the form. I still get the flash message 'Updated the Post!', but without taking any form data.
If the code in edit.ctp is required, here it is:
<?php
echo $this->Form->Create('Post');
echo $this->Form->input('id', array('type' => 'hidden','default'=>$post['Post' ['id']));
echo $this->Form->input('title',array('default'=>$post['Post']['title']));
echo $this->Form->input('body',array('default'=>$post['Post']['body']));
echo $this->Form->end('Update');
?>
Any thoughts on why this might be happening?
Edit: Added CakePHP Version
I am using CakePHP 2.4.5
What you are doing makes no sense.
Why would you want to switch the "post" by "get" here?
Of course it will then generate new rows, as you effectively trigger a save on each page load (GET).
Don't do that.
The code you had there was just fine - IF you also took PUT into consideration.
For edit forms, it is not a post, but:
if ($this->request->is('put')) {}
PS: If you want to make sure it always works for both add/edit, use
if ($this->request->is(array('post', 'put')) {}
But NEVER replace it with "get".

Usually on cakephp2 i used to unset form data and everything was ok.
Some times i use redirects to clear it. But i cant do that in this current page.
Anyone has found this issue or a solution for this?
If you are staying on the "add" page after successfully adding a record, for example to allow entry of multiple records more quickly, you'll need to reset the entity after saving. For example, if you're entering Posts, your controller will look something like:
$post = $this->Posts->newEntity();
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$post = $this->Posts->patchEntity($post, $this->request->data);
if ($this->Posts->save($post)) {
$post = $this->Posts->newEntity(); // <- Reset the entity
}
}
$this->set(compact('post'));
(Error checking, flash messages, etc. all left out for brevity.)
An alternative is to simply redirect to the same page.
I had the problem that not everything was deleted
$contact = new ContactForm();
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
if ($contact->execute($this->request->data)) {
$this->Flash->success(__('Submited.'));
$this->request->data(null);
$contact = new ContactForm();
return $this->redirect('/(Same Page)');// This did the final trick for me
}
}
I'm doing a function that receives some form data and an Excel file which I walk and earned some data to store them in my database. So far so good, the point is that after you post, validate the Excel (good or bad this is independent of what I need) the form data is clear and I would like to keep them selected. The point is that all my code to complete all validations that I have run the following:
return $this->redirect(array('admin' => true, 'controller'=>'test', 'action'=>'test'));
I'm starting with cake and I think this may be the problem, also if I remove this code, then the data is loaded, the screen goes blank without displaying any error. It is possible, with this code, to keep the form data as they were?
You would need to store the data in the session, and then read it:
$session = $this->request->session();
$session->write('form-data', $this->request->data());
return $this->redirect(array('admin' => true, 'controller'=>'test', 'action'=>'test'));
And then in your controller:
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$post_data = $this->request->data();
} else {
$session = $this->request->session();
$post_data = $session->consume('form-data');
}
//do stuff with $post_data
I am building a Joomla 2.5 component and have a bit of trouble getting the Delete button to function properly. Here is a sample code from the view.html.php file:
if ($canDo->get('core.delete'))
{
JToolBarHelper::deleteList('You Really Wanna Delete that', mycomponentname.delete, 'JTOOLBAR_DELETE');
When I select an item from a dropdown list and click to delete I get the following pop-up:
You Really Wanna Delete that
The problem with this is when I click the option to verify the deletion from the pop-up I am redirected to a 500 error message and the item is not deleted.
Now when I review the Joomla documentation here:
http://docs.joomla.org/JToolBarHelper
I see that JToolBarHelper is defined in administrator/includes/toolbar.php. So I went for a visit over to review the deleteList info there. I see the following code:
public static function deleteList($msg = '', $task = 'remove', $alt = 'JTOOLBAR_DELETE')
{
$bar = JToolBar::getInstance('toolbar');
// Add a delete button.
if ($msg) {
$bar->appendButton('Confirm', $msg, 'delete', $alt, $task, true);
} else {
$bar->appendButton('Standard', 'delete', $alt, $task, true);
}
}
So I have attempted to adjust my script by changing the second parameter $task = 'remove' to read as remove rather than mycomponentname.delete as follows:
JToolBarHelper::deleteList('You Really Wanna Delete that', 'remove', 'JTOOLBAR_DELETE');
This will eliminate the 500 error, but the item is not removed. What am I missing here? My guess is that it has something to do with improperly configuring the mycomponentname.delete function.
PS- I should add that the 500 error states:
Layout default not found
There is only one problem you have. You don't need to put the component name on to the button task. You need to put controller name instead of component name.
if ($canDo->get('core.delete'))
{
JToolBarHelper::deleteList('You Really Wanna Delete that', 'controllerName.delete', 'JTOOLBAR_DELETE');
}
For example :
JToolBarHelper::deleteList('delete', 'hellos.delete','JTOOLBAR_DELETE');
Hope this helps you.
I have an app that has rows, each row contains data. The rows are created by the user (just cloning a sample row).
My ajax function looks like this.
save : function(el) {
//Renaming the properties to match the row index and organize
jQuery('#application-builder-layout .builder-row').each(function(row) {
// Iterate over the properties
jQuery(this).find('input, select, textarea').each(function() {
// Save original name attr to element's data
jQuery(this).data('name', jQuery(this).attr('name') );
// Rewrite the name attr
jQuery(this).attr('name', 'application[rows]['+row+'][elements]['+jQuery(this).attr('name')+']');
});
});
//Looping through each row and saving them seperately with new rowkey
setTimeout(function() {
// Iterate over the layers
jQuery('#application-builder-layout .row-box').each(function(row) {
// Reindex layerkey
jQuery(this).find('input[name="rowkey"]').val(row);
// Data to send
$data = jQuery('#application-builder-layout .row-box').eq(row).find('input, textarea, select');
//$data = $data.add( jQuery('#application-builder-layout') );
jQuery.ajax(jQuery('#form').attr('action'), {
type : 'POST',
data : $data.serialize(),
async : false,
success: function( response ) {
//console.log( response );
}
});
});
}, 500);
},
This is the jQuery, it's application style format so this function is inside a var and is called inside a submit function, the problem is not the ajax, looking at it in the console it saves the data fine, just like I have before.
The Problem I cant get all the data into the database (only the last ajax request) take a look below at "Form Data" it shows what my ajax data looks like and how it's inserting into the DB vs how it should insert, I am using json encode and usually this works, but recently I switched to OOP style coding in PHP so I am not sure if that changes anything?
The PHP:
class MyApp {
const Post_Type = 'page';
public function __construct() {
// register actions
add_action('init', array(&$this, 'init'));
}
public function init() {
// Initialize Post Type
add_action('save_post', array(&$this, 'save_post'));
}
//The main save method
public function save_post($post_id) {
// Empty the builder
if($_POST['rowkey'] == 0) {
$builder = array();
}
$builder['rows'][$_POST['rowkey']] = $_POST['application']['rows'][$_POST['rowkey']];
$builder = esc_sql(json_encode($builder));
if(defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE) {
return;
}
if($_POST['post_type'] == self::Post_Type && current_user_can('edit_post', $post_id)) {
// Update the post's meta field
update_post_meta($post_id, 'MY_DATABASE', $builder);
} else {
return;
}
}
}
The above works fine, except its not inserting the data as an array just inserting the last ajax post call, not each. I am sure in my save method I need to reconfig that somehow, but I am just hacking away and cant find info on the web, so I could really use some insight.
I hope I provided enough.
My code summed up: Just to be clear on whats going on here, let me you some basic HTML of my app.
//This gets cloned and the jQuery renames the rowkey to match the index.
<div class="row-box">
<input type="hidden" name="rowkey" value="0">
<div class="builder-row">
<textarea style="display: block;" name="html"></textarea>
<textarea style="display: block;" name="breakingbad"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
So summed up lets say there is 4 rows, the jQuery renames each row, then loops through each and submits an ajax call for each of them. Then the PHP handles the $_POST, in prior applications working with my custom DB I got it to work but working with wp database I am having issues, maybe I am missing something in my method?
Form Data: the ajax form data looks like this (this is the form data inside headers which can be found in the console(firbug) or network(chrome))
//First element
rowkey:0
application[rows][0][elements][html]:A
application[rows][0][elements][breakingbad]:123
Then if there is another row ajax posts again
//Second element
rowkey:1
application[rows][1][elements][html]:B
application[rows][1][elements][breakingbad]:456
So an and so forth, the database looks like this
{"rows":{"2":{"elements":{"html":"B","breakingbad":"456"}}}}
It should be more like this
{"rows":[{"elements":{"html":"A","breakingbad":"123"},{"elements":{"html":"B","breakingbad":"456"}]}
Holy Smokes Batman: I think I got it, It all resides inside how I handle the $_POST ill update soon with an answer..
The database looks good like this
{"rows":[
{"elements":{"html":"A","breakingbad":"123"}},
{"elements":{"html":"B","breakingbad":"456"}}]
}
Now I can continue to build.. whew this was a MASSIVE headache.
From this page:
main_dev.php/player/new
to (when I click submit):
main_dev.php/player/edit/player_id/(no id)
if I put an id here it displays fine.
When I click the submit button (somehow it saves) but displays this:
404 | Not Found | sfError404Exception
Object Player does not exist().
this is my baseform:
$this->setWidgets(array(
'player_id' => new sfWidgetFormInputHidden(), //primary key auto increment()
'player_name' => new sfWidgetFormInputText(),
'player_gold' => new sfWidgetFormInputText(),
'chara_id' => new sfWidgetFormInputText(),
'open_social_id' => new sfWidgetFormInputText(),
));
im suspecting that the issue here is that player_id is not displayed and is auto increment. that means that when i submit the form player_id is left blank and since symfony cannot find where to get the id for the reference to display a record it goes 404, is there any workaround in this?
and my action.class is left from the default(instance when i generated it) so i think is not an issue
heres what the code for saving the form:
protected function processForm(sfWebRequest $request, sfForm $form)
{
$form->bind($request->getParameter($form->getName()), $request->getFiles($form->getName()));
if ($form->isValid())
{
$Player = $form->save();
$this->redirect('player/edit?player_id='.$Player->getPlayerId());
}
}
and ofcourse for the new page controller:
public function executeNew(sfWebRequest $request)
{
$this->form = new PlayerForm();
}
If the POST request saves a new Player object (in the database), it is not your BasePlayerForm.class, nor the submit url.
If your routing works when manually entered, and not when called within the action class, then your routing.yml is probably not the problem.
If you have not over-written the configure() of the BasePlayerForm.class.php (in PlayerForm.class.php, or anywhere else), then it is not in your lib/form/ classes.
Either this answer is useless (sorry) or you do not actually mean that the action "saves" the object to the database - in which case, check the submit url/request from the newSuccess template; also verify your routing:
Your newSuccess.php form tag action should POST to main_dev.php/player:
<form method="post" action="/main_dev.php/player">
[And pass the id rendered in html as <input type="hidden" name="player[player_id]" id="player_id" />.]
Lastly, the edit routing in the url will normally match player/:player_id/edit - check if you actually have an auto-created "id" column in your schema/database in addition to the "player_id" which might really be what is causing this.
