I have tried every tutorial on the internet , I have asked questions here and got some good answers which I have accepted and followed. I have created modules, altered core files , installed various versions of magento , but it doesn't matter what I do I cant get anything I DO TO STORE IN THE DATABASE!
I just want to be able to created a custom field on the new account form and store it in the database, I don't care where ?
I had same problem and it is being caused by using uppercase letter in your attribute name.
If you use only lowercase letters everything gets saved just fine.
Make a setup script like this:
<?php
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
$eav = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup');
$eav->addAttribute('customer', 'my_property', array(
'label' => 'My Property',
'type' => 'varchar',
'input' => 'text',
'visible' => true,
'required' => true,
'position' => 1,
));
$installer->endSetup();
Then you should be able to add the my_property as an input on the New Customer form.
More on EAV at Alan Storm's Blog
Check these MySQL tables to make sure you're new EAV attribute has been inserted properly.
The attribute name should be in eav_attribute with all the atrribute settings and a new attribute_id. The new attribute_id should be in new records in these 3 tables: customer_eav_attribute, customer_eav_attribute_website, customer_form_attribute.
In customer_eav_attribute,customer_eav_attribute_website make sure the is_visible field is set to 1.
If all this checks out, report back with dumps of the 4 new rows I just mentioned so we can check for anything else that might be wrong in the DB. I just recently added new attributes on Magento 1.6.1 and I was nearly tearing my hair out but got it working in the end.
When I haved this problem was becaus was missing code like this
$installer->addAttribute("empresas", "email", array(
"type" => "varchar",
"backend" => "",
"label" => "Email",
"input" => "text",
"source" => "",
"visible" => true,
"required" => true,
"default" => "",
"frontend" => "",
"unique" => false
));
$attribute = Mage::getSingleton("eav/config")->getAttribute("empresas", "email");
$used_in_forms = array();
$used_in_forms[] = "adminhtml_empresas";
$attribute->setData("used_in_forms", $used_in_forms)
->setData("is_used_for_customer_segment", false)
->setData("is_system", 0)
->setData("is_user_defined", 0)
->setData("is_visible", 1)
->setData("sort_order", 100)
;
$attribute->save();
in my setup script after $installer->installEntities();

I'm developing a prestashop module and I'm trying to show a category tree in my backoffice configuration page.
I'm trying to follow this instructions below but I don't know exactly where to add this code.
It should be inside main module's php? or inside a separate .php file and call it from the main one (don't know how to do it either).
As much time I'm spending trying to figure out, how to implement the code in the link above, the more I think I'm losing my time.
I see that "use" files, and this JS, " /admin-dev/themes/new-theme/js/components/form/choice-tree.js " are not in any prestashop folders.
Well, you should invest some time and learn Symfony since this is what you need to build backend modules for Prestashop 1.7.
As a pointer, you need to create a form class extending the CommonAbstractType, add a build form method. e.g. :
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$this->context = Context::getContext();
$parents = [
['id_category' => 2, 'name' => 'Home', 'children' => $this->getSubCategories(1, true, 2)]
];
$builder->add('category', CategoryChoiceTreeType::class, [
'choices_tree' => $parents,
'choice_value' => 'id_category',
'choice_children' => 'children',
'choice_label' => 'name',
'disabled_values' => $disabledCategories,
'label' => 'Choose a category'
])
then add methods for retrieving the data to populate the form fields.
Then use this class in your controller and display the form:
$form = $this->createForm(YourFormForm::class);
Also add a processForm to process data.
As mentioned, this is not a copy/paste situation you need to understand the Symfony workflow.
The only way that I found to "paint" the categorytree in my configuration page is adding this code to the inputs form array:
Can anyone tell me how to retrieve users selection data to my database?
It does not work as any other form field.
array(
'type' => 'categories',
'label' => $this->l('Destination Category'),
'desc' => $this->l('Select ONE Category'),
'name' => 'CATEGORY_CATEGORY_TO',
'tree' => [
// 'selected_categories' => [],
'disabled_categories' => null,
'use_search' => false,
'use_checkbox' => false,
'id' => 'id_category_tree',
],
'required' => true
),
Well, it is SOLVED!!!! Finally it was very simple, but you must get the correct info for you particular case.
#Robertino's answer might be the best implementation, I don't know, but it became impossible to solve for me,
I uses this code below, and called $categoryTree from the form input. This input must be type=> categories_select
Thanks for your time, and for the help of another post from this forum.
$root = Category::getRootCategory();
//Generating the tree
$tree = new HelperTreeCategories('categories_1'); //The string in param is the ID used by the generated tree
$tree->setUseCheckBox(false)
->setAttribute('is_category_filter', $root->id)
->setRootCategory($root->id)
->setSelectedCategories(array((int)Configuration::get('CATEGORY_1'))) //if you wanted to be pre-carged
->setInputName('CATEGORY_1'); //Set the name of input. The option "name" of $fields_form doesn't seem to work with "categories_select" type
$categoryTree = $tree->render();
And the Form:
array(
'type' => 'categories_select',
'label' => $this->l('Category'),
'desc' => $this->l('Select Category '),
'name' => 'CATEGORY_1', //No ho podem treure si no, no passa la variable al configuration
'category_tree' => $categoryTree, //This is the category_tree called in form.tpl
'required' => true
I am using https://github.com/stwe/DatatablesBundle for my symfony2 application. It's still buggy but works great. Now I want in my table I have id, name for the id. I want to add check box so that I can select them by their id. I've searched enough but couldn't find any solution. Can anyone help me how can I add check box to the column id as select?
One thing : my 'serverSide': false.
$this->columnBuilder
->add("id", "column", array("title" => "Id","type" => "checkbox",))
->add("name", "column", array("title" => "Name",))
this is my code for generating the column.
ok, I found the solution, im not sure if this is the best way to solve the problem but still i can workout my issue.
->add(null, "multiselect", array(
"attributes" => array(
"name" => "check", ),
"actions" => array(
array(
"route" => "artist_show",
"route_parameters" => array(
"id" => "id"
),
"label" => "Select",
)
)))
adding the multi select option solve the necessity of have a check box
I have added a new field to my database. I also have managed to add necessary codes and functions in catalog section. This new field is related to the customer. The data related to this new field gets added successfully to the database.
This new field belongs to Customer table.
Now, I want to know, when viewing customer's details in the admin section, how this new field should be retrieved from database? I mean which file should be edited for this purpose?
getCustomer($customer_id) and getCustomers($data = array()) are the functions used to get customer data.
Since they are SELECT * querys your field is being processed automatically.
Afterwards you need to go in the Controller section in the controller\sale folder and there you have customer.php, custom_field.php and and edit the ones that you need. For example:
$this->data['customers'][] = array(
'customer_id' => $result['customer_id'],
'name' => $result['name'],
'email' => $result['email'],
'customer_group' => $result['customer_group'],
'status' => ($result['status'] ? $this->language->get('text_enabled') : $this->language->get('text_disabled')),
'approved' => ($result['approved'] ? $this->language->get('text_yes') : $this->language->get('text_no')),
'ip' => $result['ip'],
'date_added' => date($this->language->get('date_format_short'), strtotime($result['date_added'])),
'selected' => isset($this->request->post['selected']) && in_array($result['customer_id'], $this->request->post['selected']),
'action' => $action
);
add your field in this array (this is from customer.php).
And finally edit the .tpl files that are called from the view\template\sale folder so they appear where they want them to.
Hope i was clear enough.
I'm quite new in magento, I work version 1.6.2.0.
I'm trying to add my own Custom Shipping Method module and I have few problems.
My magento has already custom checkout module - Threestep checkout, what I'm trying to do is save additional shipping info which I choose in 3rd step (Payment and Shipping) (something like Store Pickup place) to Quote, and then in Review retrive Quote data and save it to Order.
I'm using Events to do this:
checkout_controller_onepage_save_shipping_method to save data to Quote
checkout_type_onepage_save_order to save data to Order
The problem is that Quote and Order doesn't have any free place where i can save my data, so I created installer for my module:
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
$packboxName = array(
'type' => 'varchar',
'backend' => '',
'frontend' => '',
'label' => 'packboxname',
'input' => '',
'class' => '',
'source' => '',
'global' => 1,
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'user_defined' => false,
'default' => '',
'searchable' => false,
'filterable' => false,
'comparable' => false,
'visible_on_front' => false,
'visible_in_advanced_search' => false,
'unique' => false
);
$installer->addAttribute('order', "packboxname", $packboxName);
$installer->getConnection()->addColumn($installer->getTable('sales/order'), 'packboxname', 'varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL');
$installer->addAttribute('quote', "packboxname", $packboxName);
$installer->getConnection()->addColumn($installer->getTable('sales/quote'), 'packboxname', 'varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL');
$installer->endSetup();
And i got a error saying that
$installer->addAttribute('quote'
has wrong Entity Id.
So I checked DB, table: eav_entity_type and there wasn't any 'quote' type (hopefully there was a 'order') I didn't really know what I should do so, I tried to google something, I found tutorial and modified my installer.
$installer->addEntityType('quote', array(
'entity_model' => 'sales/quote',
'table' =>'sales/quote',
));
Now it's working I have additional place where I can save my info, but my friend told me that I shouldn't use addEntityType, Is there any other way to achive what I need?
I think perhaps what you're looking for can be found in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4389786/823549
An important point made in that answer is the event fired, sales_convert_quote_to_order - this will get fired when the quote is being converted to an order, and will happen regardless of what your other checkout module does. This answer is also useful as you can see the details of your custom column in the orders grid page.
I am slowly building up my Zend skills by building some utility websites for my own use. I have been using Zend Forms and Form validation and so far have been happy that I have been understanding the Zend way of doing things. However I am a bit confused with how to use Zend_Validate_Db_NoRecordExists() in the context of an edit form and a field that maps to database column that has to be unique.
For example using this simple table
TABLE Test
(
ID INT AUTO_INCREMENT,
Data INT UNIQUE
);
If I was simply adding a new row to the Table Test, I could add a validator to the Zend Form element for the Data field as such:
$data = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('Data');
$data->addValidator( new Zend_Validate_Db_NoRecordExists('Test', 'Data') )
At form validation this validator will check that the contents of the Data element does not already exist in the table. Thus the insert into Test can go ahead without violating the Data fields UNIQUE qualifier.
However the situation is different when editing an existing row of the Test table. In that case the validator needs to check that the element value meets one of two mutually exclusive conditions conditions:
The user has changed the element value, and the new value does not currently
exist in the table.
The user has Not changed the element value. Thus the value does currently exist in the table (and this is OK).
The Zend Validation Docs talk about adding a parameter to the NoRecordExists() validator for the purpose of excluding records from the validation process. The idea being to "validate the table looking for any matching rows, but ignore any hits where the a field has this specific value". Such a use case is what is needed for the validating the element when editing a table. The pseudo code to do this in 1.9 is like so (actually I got this from the 1.9 source code - I think the current docs may be wrong):
$data = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('Data');
$data->addValidator( new Zend_Validate_Db_NoRecordExists('Test', 'Data',
array ('field'=>'Data', 'Value'=> $Value) );
The problem is that the value that is to be excluded ($Value) is bound to the validator at the time it is instantiated (also when the form is instantiated). But when the form is editing a record, that value needs to be bound to the contents of the $data field when the form was initially populated with data - IE the Data value initially read from the Test table row. But in typical Zend patterns a form is instantiated and populated in two separate steps which precludes binding the exclude value to the desired element value.
The following Zend psuedo code marks where I would like the binding of $Value to the NoRecordExists() validator to occur (and note that this is a common Zend controller pattern):
$form = new Form()
if (is Post) {
$formData = GetPostData()
if ($form->isValid($formData)) {
Update Table with $formData
Redirect out of here
} else {
$form->populate($formData)
}
} else {
$RowData = Get Data from Table
$form->populate($RowData) <=== This is where I want ('value' => $Value) bound
}
I could sub-class Zend_Form and override the populate() method to do a one-shot insertion of the NoRecordExists() validator on initial form population, but that seems like a huge hack to me. So I wanted to know what other people think and is there some pattern already written down that solves this problem?
Edit 2009-02-04
I've been thinking that the only decent solution to this problem is to write a custom validator and forget about the Zend version. My form has the record ID as hidden field, so that given the table and column names I could craft some SQL to test for uniqueness and exclude the row with an ID of such an such. Of course this started me thinking about how I would be tying the form to the dB layer that the Model is supposed to hide!
This is how it's done:
I your FORM, you add this validator (for example email field):
$email->addValidator('Db_NoRecordExists', true, array('table' => 'user', 'field' => 'email'));
Don't add custom error message for this since after that it didn't work for me, e.g.:
$email->getValidator('Db_NoRecordExists')->setMessage('This email is already registered.');
In your Controller add this:
/* Don't check for Db_NoRecordExists if editing the same field */
$form->getElement('email')
->addValidator('Db_NoRecordExists',
false,
array('table' => 'user',
'field' => 'email',
'exclude' => array ('field' => 'id', 'value' => $this->request->get('id'))));
And after this you do verifications, e.g.:
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost())
{
if($form->isValid($this->getRequest()->getPost()))
{
....
That's it!
This will also work :
$this->addElement('text', 'email', array(
'label' => 'Your email address:',
'required' => true,
'filters' => array('StringTrim'),
'validators' => array(
'EmailAddress',
array('Db_NoRecordExists', true, array(
'table' => 'guestbook',
'field' => 'email',
'messages' => array(
'recordFound' => 'Email already taken'
)
)
)
)
));
After reviewing the overwhelming response I've decided that I'm going with a custom validator
Look at this one:
Answer raised by me and well-solved by Dickie
private $_id;
public function setId($id=null)
{
$this->_id=$id;
}
public function init()
{
.....
if(isset($this->_id)){
$email->addValidator('Db_NoRecordExists', false, array('table' => 'user', 'field' => 'email','exclude' => array ('field' => 'id', 'value' => $this->_id) ));
$email->getValidator('Db_NoRecordExists')->setMessage('This email is already registered.');
}
Now u can use:
$form = new Form_Test(array('id'=>$id));
You could just call $form->getElement('input')->removeValidator('Zend_Validator_Db_NoRecordExists'); instead of supplying the exclusion.
I have just tried this example for email address uniqueness and it works perfectly with below stuffs :
1] In my form:
// Add an email element
$this->addElement('text', 'email', array(
'label' => 'Email :',
'required' => true,
'filters' => array('StringTrim'),
'validators' => array(
'EmailAddress',
)
));
Here's something special that I needed to add for unique email address to work:
$email = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('email');
$email->addValidator('Db_NoRecordExists', true, array('table' => 'guestbook', 'field' => 'email'));
2] In my controller:
$form->getElement('email')
->addValidator('Db_NoRecordExists',
false,
array('table' => 'guestbook',
'field' => 'email',
'exclude' => array ('field' => 'id', 'value' => $request->get('id'))));
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
if ($form->isValid($request->getPost())) {
Hope it helps you people !
Thanks
