Collect Postdata From Cloned Fields

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

Hey,

i’m currently working on forms with fields wich can be duplicated (cloned) and i want to write this data to a database.

This is how i currently have my code.




echo $form->textField( $account , '[0]email' , array(

'class'  => 'form-control' ,

) );

but if i clone this field, the cloned field will also have a name with modelName[0][‘email’]

So i want to recieve my cloned element data on another array index, does anyone have a smart solution for this?

I have red the page about tabular onpit on: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/form.table , but it diddnt really solve my problem.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Please can you tell me how you are cloning your textfield

You can use [] instead of [0], so an array will be passed.

	$( '.dynamic-rows' ).on( 'click' , '.dynamic-add' , function() {

		var dynamicRows = $( this ).closest( '.dynamic-rows' );

		var formGroup = $( this ).closest( '.form-group' );

		var clone = formGroup.clone( false );


		clone.find( ':input' ).val( null );


		formGroup.after( clone );

		clone.find( ':input' ).first().focus();

	} );

I just put all the content wich can be duplicated in a dynamic-rows div, and inside that div i have a button with the class dynamic add.

I have tried that, but when i use only [] all data will be set on a differnt index, and i need data to be groupped to assign it to a model, and then write it to the database right?

I’m not sure what’re you trying to do, maybe this would help:


$form->textField( $account , 'email[]');

Notice the reversed order of field name and brackets.

Also make sure you have setter for your array field, or process it in beforeSave().
