HelperForm and checkbox in Prestashop - php

Question

I try to add checkbox to my module config for PrestaShop 1.5. I use HelperForm as in manual but there is empty $helper->fields_value
public function getContent()
{
$output = null;
if (Tools::isSubmit('submit'.$this->name))
{
$fast_email = strval(Tools::getValue('fast_email'));
if (!$fast_email || empty($fast_email) || !Validate::isGenericName($fast_email))
$output .= $this->displayError( $this->l('Invalid Configuration value') );
else
{
Configuration::updateValue('fast_email', $fast_email);
$output .= $this->displayConfirmation($this->l('Settings updated'));
}
$fast_email_sender = strval(Tools::getValue('fast_email_sender'));
if ( !Validate::isGenericName($fast_email_sender))
$output .= $this->displayError( $this->l('Invalid Configuration value') );
else
{
Configuration::updateValue('fast_email_sender', $fast_email_sender);
$output .= $this->displayConfirmation($this->l('Settings updated'));
}
$fast_phone = strval(Tools::getValue('fast_phone'));
Configuration::updateValue('fast_phone', $fast_phone);
var_dump(Tools::getValue('fast_phone'));
$output .= $this->displayConfirmation($this->l('Settings updated'));
}
return $output.$this->displayForm();
}
public function displayForm()
{
// Get default Language
$default_lang = (int)Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT');
$options = array(
array(
'id_option' => 1, // The value of the 'value' attribute of the <option> tag.
'name' => 'email' // The value of the text content of the <option> tag.
),
array(
'id_option' => 2,
'name' => 'phone'
),
);
// var_dump($options);
// Init Fields form array
$fields_form[0]['form'] = array(
'legend' => array(
'title' => $this->l('Settings'),
),
'input' => array(
array(
'type' => 'text',
'label' => $this->l('admin email'),
'name' => 'fast_email',
'size' => 20,
'required' => true
)
,
array(
'type' => 'checkbox', // This is an <input type="checkbox"> tag.
'label' => $this->l('Options'), // The <label> for this <input> tag.
'desc' => $this->l('Choose options.'), // A help text, displayed right next to the <input> tag.
'name' => 'fast_phone', // The content of the 'id' attribute of the <input> tag.
'values' => array(
'query' => $options, // $options contains the data itself.
'id' => 'id_option', // The value of the 'id' key must be the same as the key for 'value' attribute of the <option> tag in each $options sub-array.
'name' => 'name' // The value of the 'name' key must be the same as the key for the text content of the <option> tag in each $options sub-array.
),
),
array(
'type' => 'radio',
'label' => $this->l('email'),
'name' => 'fast_email_sender', // The content of the 'id' attribute of the <input> tag.
'required' => true,
'class' => 't',
'values' => array( // $values contains the data itself.
array(
'id' => 'active_on', // The content of the 'id' attribute of the <input> tag, and of the 'for' attribute for the <label> tag.
'value' => 1, // The content of the 'value' attribute of the <input> tag.
'label' => $this->l('Enabled') // The <label> for this radio button.
),
array(
'id' => 'active_off',
'value' => 0,
'label' => $this->l('Disabled')
)
),
)
),
'submit' => array(
'title' => $this->l('Save'),
'class' => 'button'
)
);
$helper = new HelperForm();
// Module, t oken and currentIndex
$helper->module = $this;
$helper->name_controller = $this->name;
$helper->token = Tools::getAdminTokenLite('AdminModules');
$helper->currentIndex = AdminController::$currentIndex.'&configure='.$this->name;
// Language
$helper->default_form_language = $default_lang;
$helper->allow_employee_form_lang = $default_lang;
// Title and toolbar
$helper->title = $this->displayName;
$helper->show_toolbar = true; // false -> remove toolbar
$helper->toolbar_scroll = true; // yes - > Toolbar is always visible on the top of the screen.
$helper->submit_action = 'submit'.$this->name;
$helper->toolbar_btn = array(
'save' =>
array(
'desc' => $this->l('Save'),
'href' => AdminController::$currentIndex.'&configure='.$this->name.'&save'.$this->name.
'&token='.Tools::getAdminTokenLite('AdminModules'),
),
'back' => array(
'href' => AdminController::$currentIndex.'&token='.Tools::getAdminTokenLite('AdminModules'),
'desc' => $this->l('Back to list')
)
);
// Load current value
$helper->fields_value['fast_email'] = Configuration::get('fast_email');
$helper->fields_value['fast_email_sender'] = Configuration::get('fast_email_sender');
$helper->fields_value['fast_phone'] = Configuration::get('fast_phone');
return $helper->generateForm($fields_form);
}
I add in install Configuration::updateValue('fast_phone','') when I checked it and save it doesn't update. I check config and it empty before and after submit

Answer 1

I know this theat is old but for others i give the solution :
According to documentation, the getContent method has to be written like that :
public function getContent()
{
$output = null;
// Save settings values
if (Tools::isSubmit('submit'.$this->name)) // Check if form is submitted
{
Configuration::updateValue('MODULE_OPTION1', Tools::getValue('MODULE_OPTION1'));
Configuration::updateValue('MODULE_OPTION2', Tools::getValue('MODULE_OPTION2'));
Configuration::updateValue('MODULE_OPTION3', Tools::getValue('MODULE_OPTION3'));
$output .= $this->displayConfirmation($this->l('Settings updated'));
}
return $output.$this->displayForm();
}
Of course it can be improved : checking values...
