optional_param in form - php

I have a question about the optional_param function in a form in PHP (version 5.3.14)
After looking over why certain fields were not being saved in a form I have, I realised that this data...
$checkdata = optional_param('items', array(), PARAM_INT)
Only saves up to 996 places (items) from the form (they are select items and there are many)....
Is this a setting or a something I can change? or alternatively something wrong from my end?
Thanks in advance
Solution : A moodle function (platform i am working with)
Thanks Pekka

this function is a moodle function. It gets a parameter from the current page URL.
For an example url:
http://moodle.dev/course/view.php?id=2&items=4
(this is chosen totally arbitrary)
Using this code:
$checkdata = optional_param('items', array(), PARAM_INT)
Will save the "items" value (here it's 4) in $checkdata. If items does not exist in the url it will do $checkdata = array()

How to copy ACF fields from one page to another using php?

As the question states, how do I copy an ACF field from one post to another? This is what I have so far. Any help would be appreciated.
add_action('save_post', 'dupe-expiration-date');
function dupe-expiration-date()
{
// Gets expiration date from 'Homepage' page
$date_field_data = get_field('sale_expiration_date', 2361);
// Sets expration date on 'Deals' page
update_field('sale_expiration_date', $date_field_data, 34412);
}
Essentially, my code works. I don't know PHP so when I created the function dupe-expiration-date, I didn't know I couldn't use the character '-' to name the function.
Once I corrected that issue, the code worked as intended.

Wordpress paginate_links - index.shtml and page number

I am using wordpress and wants to add pagination to custom posts. But I have to maintain post slug by index.shtml. I want to add pagination by index page with page number.
My current URL:
www.demo.com/demo_post/index.shtml
I want to paginate second page URL:
www.demo.com/demo_post/index-2.shtml
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've been struggling with this. Thanks in advance!
Actually this index-2.shtml is considered as file name so you must have to separate this '2' or '3' or whatever index is there, from the file name. So, you can use string replace method to separate 2 from index-2.shtml, example:
$filename = __FILE__; //return base file name e.g. index-2.shtml
$filename = str_replace("index-","",$filename);
$filename = str_replace(".shtml","",$filename); //this will finally return 2
Now, use this '2'(index) in your pagination function argument. Hope this might help you. :-)

Twitter typeahead not matching correctly when using "remote", but working with "local" JSON

I'm creating an autocomplete in Laravel 4 using twitter typeahead, but I'm having problems in the matching process.
The JS code:
$('#autocomplete').typeahead({
limit: 20,
name: 'destinatari',
prefetch: '{{URL::to("alumni/posta/utenti")}}',
remote: '{{URL::to("alumni/posta/utenti")}}'
});
The model populates the array like this:
public static function jsonList($idLogged)
{
$users = DB::table('users_data')
->where('userid', '!=', $idLogged)
->select('nome', 'nome_2', 'cognome', 'cognome_2', 'userid')
->orderBy('cognome', 'asc')
->orderBy('nome','asc')
->get();
$i = 0;
$ordered = array();
foreach($users as $u) {
$ordered[$i]['value'] = $u->nome.' '.$u->nome_2.' '.$u->cognome.' '.$u->cognome_2;
$ordered[$i]['tokens'] = array($u->nome, $u->cognome);
$ordered[$i]['userid'] = $u->userid;
$i++;
}
return $ordered;
}
And my controller simply:
return Response::json( Users::jsonList($this->userdata->id) );
The returned json (I see it in Firebug) looks like:
[{"value":"Silvia Miriam Abeyta Carretero","tokens":["Silvia","Abeyta"],"userid":"246"},
{"value":"Malak Julia Abreu Garrido","tokens":["Malak","Abreu"],"userid":"198"},{"value":"Aina Aguado ","tokens":["Aina","Aguado"],"userid":"243"},
{"value":"Jordi Alarc\u00f3n ","tokens":["Jordi","Alarc\u00f3n"],"userid":"308"},
{"value":"Aaron Nerea Alejandro ","tokens":["Aaron","Alejandro"],"userid":"49"},
{"value":"Alexia Alem\u00e1n ","tokens":["Alexia","Alem\u00e1n"],"userid":"306"},
{"value":"Salma Almaraz ","tokens":["Salma","Almaraz"],"userid":"54"},
{"value":"Alma Almonte Nev\u00e1rez","tokens":["Alma","Almonte"],"userid":"101"},
{"value":"Daniela Almonte ","tokens":["Daniela","Almonte"],"userid":"184"}
,....other similar results....]
The problem is that any letter I type only the first name in the list gets autocompleted ("Silvia Miriam Abeyta Carretero") in the input field, but when I type out in full any other name (say, "Daniela Almonte") the field isn't completed and the dropdown keeps showing the whole 20 results, without processing of any kind.
I must say, though, that if I click on a name it gets selected correctly (I'm logging the userid property of the datum ), but still the autocompletion isn't working.
What puzzles me is that If I copy/paste the whole list directly in the JS (taken as is from Firebug), as local property of typeahead() (instead of remote), everything works fine as it should.
What could be causing this? Is it a Laravel response problem? Or is it the typeahead processor (I believe it's in "transport.js" source file, uses jQuery $.ajax()) of the remote url?
It seems like the returned JSON is considered as a single entry, i don't know why since it looks correct to me...
From the typeahead documentation:
$('input.twitter-search').typeahead({
name: 'accounts',
prefetch: 'https://twitter.com/network.json',
remote: 'https://twitter.com/accounts?q=%QUERY'
});
As you can see, the remote parameter must contains the URL with the query parameter.
PHP side, you have to test if the parameter "q" is set and then adapt your request (with a LIKE statement by example) to correctly filter the list.
Otherwise, you can try to remove this remote parameter, maybe it would work with only the prefetch attribute.

How to modify data for a SugarCRM SubPanel using PHP?

Is there anyway to modify the content shown in a SugarCRM Subpanel without relying on Action Hooks?
Right now to edit content for a Subpanel field I have to use the hooks like this...
$hook_array['process_record']
And in the Class method that I assign the Hook to call I can then change a field in the Subpanel like this...
$bean->name = '<a href="/index.php?action=ajaxui#ajaxUILoc=index.php%3Fmodule%3Dproje_Web_Project_Tasks%26action%3DDetailView%26record%3D'
.$bean->id.'" rel="popover" data-content="'
.$bean->description.'" data-original-title="">'.$bean->name.'</a>';
The main and major problem we have with this method is it works great until you do either of these actions....
Add an item using the Quick Create form
Change a page using the Subpanel paging buttons
In either case, it reloads the Subpanel data without running this hook code on the data, so the result is pretty major as the Subpanel fields that you have edited are no longer edited and show up as normal.
Here is a basic example...this shows 2-3 fields that have been edited using the Hook method above...
Now after paging or quick-creating a new record in the Subpanel, it reloads the Subpanel data and does not apply the Hooked code so you can see the result looks like this...
I know that ListView has a much more reliable and flexible method for editing it's content using the get_list_view_data() method I am able to apply the same edits and have them work all the time!
So I am hoping there is a similar method to edit Subpanel data and have it always apply the edits to that data? From what I have seen in my research so far, the only solution that will work as expected all the time, is to make a completely new Custom Field Type!
I am really hoping that is not the ONLY way as that is a major pain to do that for each type of field that I need to edit in the Subpanels and just doesn't feel right when there are easy ways to edit everything else except SubPanel data.
Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions, tips, help, please do share with me on this matter as it is the main problem I have had since I started developing with SugarCRM in the past few months?
You can change the data by writing a custom query to get data for your subpanel.
So inside your bean (this case Contacts) do a functions:
function get_project_list() {
$query = "SELECT project, info, matching, column, names FROM projects WHERE contact_id = '" . $this->id . "' AND deleted = 0"
return $query;
}
and then in subpanel definition set the data source like this:
$layout_defs["Contacts"]["subpanel_setup"]['projects'] = array(
'order' => 10,
'sort_order' => 'desc',
'sort_by' => 'name',
'title_key' => 'LBL_PROJECTS_TITLE',
'subpanel_name' => 'contact_projects',
'module'=>'projects',
'get_subpanel_data' => 'function:get_project_list',
'function_parameters'=>array('type'=>'urgent'), // this is optional if you decide to sent parameters to the function if do this dont forget to define your function with function get_project_list($params)
'top_buttons' => array (... buttons that you need go here..),
);
Since sql is quite powerful you can modify your subpanel data any way you like, well more or less :)

Default value not overridden upon form submission

I've got a hidden field inside a form, which I create using Drupal's form API like this:
$form['position'] = array(
'#type' => 'hidden',
'#default_value' => '57.149953,-2.104053',
'#attributes' => array(
'id' => 'geoposition',
)
);
When I load the page in which the form is rendered, I have a little bit of JavaScript that edits the hidden field like so:
if(navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(getPosition, noPosition, 10);
}
function getPosition(position) {
var pos = document.getElementsByName("position");
pos.value = position.coords.latitude + "," + position.coords.longitude;
alert(pos.value);
}
Now, the last statement in this snippet actually outputs the correct value of the user's current position. However, when I submit the form, the value passed onto the server for manipulation is the default value, and not the updated value. The value to use after the form has been submitted is picked up like this:
$map_field .= 'src="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q='.$form_state['values']['position'].'&output=embed"></iframe>';
Any ideas?
Thanks,
This is what I wud do:
1) Disable to js for now.
2) Use xdebug to see the value before and after the form has been submitted. This should help to see if something is going wrong.
Cheers,
vishal
Rather than using #default_value, consider using #value - because that is the value that gets posted.
Eventually solved it by using the getElementById() method instead of getElementsByName() method. For some reason the name wasn't working. Thanks all for your help.
