CHtml::submitButton() parameters

mickeydinofrog · November 13, 2015, 6:14am

Is there a way that I could change the parameters of the CHtml::submitButton()?

I have this




	<div class="row buttons">

		<?php echo CHtml::submitButton($model->isNewRecord ? 'Create' : 'Save'); ?>

	</div>

in my _form. I am recycling or reusing the form but in another controller. Is there any way to address the submitButton to another controller? I am like copy-pasting the actionCreate controller of that form with my new controller except that now it has multiple parameters. Any help please.

Please check the "Working with Forms" sections of the guide.

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/form.overview

I usually don’t “reuse” nor “recycle” a form when the model is different. It’s safer and easier to write a dedicated form for each model.

It’s not the submit button but the form that specifies the action.

And what do you mean by "multiple parameters"?

What i mean is that they are on the same model since the forms only affect one table in the database. Okay here is my scenario, First I have a form for the user (staff) to allow a customer purchase an item/product. It works well. Now I thought of another option of "what if" the staff will alter the item purchased of the customer?

I cannot use the actionUpdate because in this second form, I have to receive and identify the "type" of the product the staff is altering. I am new to yii and I think I cannot be able to add extra parameters in the actionUpdate controller and implement it in the same form of actionCreate. What I did is that I created a new Controller which is so much alike the actionCreate controller. and a new _form in that case. My problem now is that everytime I clicked the "Create" button in the new form, it marks all the field ERROR (i.e: Price cannot be blank) even if I did put a price in the textfield.

my actionCreate controller:




	public function actionCreate($id)

	{

		$model=new ReleaseItem;

		$model->contract_id=$id;

		// Uncomment the following line if AJAX validation is needed

		 $this->performAjaxValidation($model);


		if(isset($_POST['ReleaseItem']))

		{

			$_POST['ReleaseItem']['tot_price'] = $_POST['ReleaseItem']['price']*$_POST['ReleaseItem']['quantity'];

			$model->attributes=$_POST['ReleaseItem'];			

			if($model->save())

			{

				$model->updateBalance($id);

				$this->redirect(array('servicecontract/view','id'=>$id));

			}

		} 


		if (Yii::app()->request->isAjaxRequest) {

			Yii::app()->clientScript->scriptMap['jquery.js'] = false;

			yii::app()->clientScript->scriptMap['jquery-ui.min.js'] = false;

			$this->renderPartial('create',array(

			'model'=>$model,'contr_id'=>$id

		),false,true);}

		

		

	}

my default form from CRUD (_form)




<?php

/* @var $this ReleaseItemController */

/* @var $model ReleaseItem */

/* @var $form CActiveForm */

?>


<div class="form">


<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(

	'id'=>'release-item-form',

	// Please note: When you enable ajax validation, make sure the corresponding

	// controller action is handling ajax validation correctly.

	// There is a call to performAjaxValidation() commented in generated controller code.

	// See class documentation of CActiveForm for details on this.

	'enableAjaxValidation'=>true,

	'clientOptions' => array('validateOnSubmit'=>true),

)); ?>


	<p class="note">Fields with <span class="required">*</span> are required.</p>


	<?php echo $form->errorSummary($model); ?>


<div class="row">

		

		<?php echo $form->textField($model,'contract_id',array('style'=>'display:none;')); ?>

		

	</div>


	<div class="row">

		<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'product_id'); ?>

		<?php echo $form->dropDownList($model,'product_id', $model->getProducts()) ?>

		<?php echo $form->error($model,'product_id'); ?>

	</div>

    		$this->widget('application.extensions.EJuiDateTimePicker.EJuiDateTimePicker',array(

        		'model'=>$model, //Model object

        		'attribute'=>'date', //attribute name

    			//'dateFormat'=>'dd-mm-yy',

    			

        		'options'=>array(

        		

        		'dateFormat'=>'yy-mm-dd',

   				 ) // jquery plugin options

    		));

		?>	

		<?php echo $form->error($model,'date'); ?>

	</div>


	<div class="row">

		<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'price'); ?>

		<?php echo $form->textField($model,'price'); ?>

		<?php echo $form->error($model,'price'); ?>

	</div>


	<div class="row">

		

		<?php echo $form->textField($model,'tot_price',array('style'=>'display:none;')); ?>

		

	</div>


	<div class="row">

		<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'remarks'); ?>

		<?php echo $form->textField($model,'remarks',array('size'=>60,'maxlength'=>80)); ?>

		<?php echo $form->error($model,'remarks'); ?>

	</div>


	<div class="row buttons">

		<?php echo CHtml::submitButton($model->isNewRecord ? 'Create' : 'Save'); ?>

	</div>


<?php $this->endWidget(); ?>


</div><!-- form -->

my new controller (taken from actionController)




	public function actionReplacecasket($contr, $i_release)

	{

		$model=new ReleaseItem;

		$model->contract_id=$contr;

		// Uncomment the following line if AJAX validation is needed

		$this->performAjaxValidation($model);

		

		if(isset($_POST['ReleaseItem']))

		{

			if($model->save())

			{

				//$model->updateBalance($id);

				$this->redirect(array('servicecontract/admin'));

			}

		}

		

	

		if (Yii::app()->request->isAjaxRequest) {

			Yii::app()->clientScript->scriptMap['jquery.js'] = false;

			yii::app()->clientScript->scriptMap['jquery-ui.min.js'] = false;

			$this->renderPartial('createreplace',array(

					'model'=>$model,'contr_id'=>$contr, 

			),false,true);}


			$this->renderPartial('createreplace',array(

					'model'=>$model,'contr_id'=>$contr,

			),false,true);

	

	}

and finally my new form., which is clearly not working properly (_formreplace.php)

Sorry for the long codes. I really need help. Thanks.

Are you trying to create/update/replace in a popup dialog?

Then you have to specify the action property of the CActiveForm explicitly.

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CActiveForm#action-detail




<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(

    'id'=>'release-item-form',

    'action' => array('relase-item/create', 'id' => $id),

    // or 'action' => array('relase-item/update', 'id' => $id),

    // or 'action' => array('relase-item/replacecasket', 'contr' => $contr, 'i_release' => $i_release),

    'enableAjaxValidation'=>true,

    'clientOptions' => array('validateOnSubmit'=>true),

)); ?>


// Maybe you can pass "$action" parameter from "create", "update" and "createreplace" view.

// 'action' => $action,

Otherwise the form will be submitted to the current url of the page.

Good God! This is why I love Yii and the people around it. You guys are so amazing! One thing, the only hindrance I am getting now is that in my separate form, i am including an administrative password in the alteration for security purposes. and with that, I guess the error comes from the save()… since ($model,password) is not in the database table or AR of the model. Am i right? I can’t perform save() correctly. And i want to include the password textfield only in that form (the alteration form). Please. How can i possibly do it. And oh thank you so much for the help!

You can declare an additional attribute in an AR model. It doesn’t need to have a corresponding column in the db table. And you can use “scenario” to specify whether it should be validated or not for a certain situation.
