Hi Joblo,
Thanks a lot. Sorry for not making clear on my second question. I am aware there is a option to add remove link in the rows which we clone. I am asking things in update mode. In update mode , i want to add a remove option in the rows which i reproduced. How to acheive that ?
Thanks, great mod!. I think this must be a core function, it would be great see it soon.
See ya.
Hi Joblo, I want to ask about earlier problem I sent you long time ago,
this is my form config
$detailFormConfig = array(
'elements'=>array(
'product_id'=>array(
'type'=>'dropdownlist',
'items'=>Product::model()->getProductOptions(),
'prompt'=>'-- Select Product --',
'onchange'=>'
var text = $("select#InvoiceDetail_product_id option:selected").html();
var last = text.lastIndexOf(" ");
var price = text.substring(last,text.length);
$("#InvoiceDetail_price").val(price);
',
),
'quantity'=>array(
'type'=>'text',
),
'price'=>array(
'type'=>'text',
),
'discount'=>array(
'type'=>'text',
'value'=>'0',
),
));
That works just for first detail row, and about cloning the form as well as the javascipt code I don’t really know how to do that with jsAfterClone etc. Name of the id is generated like copy1,copy2, and so on… how can I get the specific cloned id like price and discount field
$this->widget('ext.multimodelform.MultiModelForm',array(
'tableView' => true,
'id' => 'id_detail', //the unique widget id
'formConfig' => $detailFormConfig, //the form configuration array
'model' => $detail, //instance of the form model
'jsAfterClone' => '
alert(this.attr(\'class\'));
// what/how to do in here?
// I want to do like above code, set the price and discount value
',
.....
thanks for the help
I would play around in the ‘jquery.relcopy.yii.1.0.js’ in the assets (alert(newid), val, substring…).
See the code at line 90, when cloning the children.
Here you have to assign the onchange to the cloned elements.
When it’s working, you can move the code to ‘jsAfterClone’ => ‘…’ (=funcAfterNewId)
// Increment Clone Children IDs
$(clone).find('[id]').each(function(){
var newid = $(this).attr('id') + (counter +1);
funcBeforeNewId.call($(this));
$(this).attr('id', newid);
funcAfterNewId.call($(this));
... your testcode here ....
});
Hello Joblo,
I am getting an error "Array to String Conversion" on my multimodel form. This is the only form in my app that gives this error. I have another form that uses the same rules() and saves the information with no problem. Can you help me find the problem?

I really hope I can get this fixed as I need tabular input.
As you can probably see in the controller, I copied your sample code from the readme and simply added my model names, etc.
Seems to be not a multimodelform issue.
See line 97: $model->save()
D:\WAMP\www\yii-1.1.8.r3324\APP\protected\controllers\memberController.php(97):
member->save()
There is a problem on validating the $model - see the stack trace: ‘member->exists()’ (CUniqueValidator).
You should do a var_dump to take a look at the properties of the $model variable.
if(isset($_POST['member']))
{
$model->attributes=$_POST['member'];
var_dump($model); die();
.....
If you can’t answer this question (I know it’s my code and my fault if there is something wrong) can you atleast tell me how to pull the “member” table into the main view? (group/index only displays the Group database. How can this be both Group and Member??)
You tell in the instructions to change the actionUpdate and actionCreate, but nothing about actionView or actionIndex.
EDIT: To make it clearer (and not trying to sound mean or demanding) what is the point of adding multiple entries if I cannot index them. How can I do so? 
Take a look at the Blog tutorial and the code from the blog demo.
It’s the same as you would display ‘posts’ and ‘comments’.
Ok will do. Thanks.
It`s will be good - to make similar extension but without jqrelcopy - only for saving multimodelform
I don’t think this is necessary, because implementing this is not so much work and can be very special for each case.
See:
Tabular Input
How to use a single form to collect data for two or more models?
Hi,
Superb extension. I tried Group-Member example and it works fine for CREATE, UPDATE. How to i get it work for DELETE operation? Right now when i delete it removes only the Group record and not the related Member records.
Thanks
Deleting members should be done directly in the database.
Set the definition of the foreign keys: OnDelete -> cascade
Hi Joblo,
Thanks for your quick response. I tried your solution but still not working.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS member (
id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
groupid int(11) NOT NULL,
firstname varchar(100) NOT NULL,
lastname varchar(100) NOT NULL,
membersince int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id),
FOREIGN KEY (groupid) REFERENCES group(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
What database do you use?
Maybe sqlite doesn’t support this?
It should not be the job of the php-client to delete all members if a group is deleted.
But you can implement the onBeforeDelete/onAfterDelete event of the group model to delete the related members.
Thanks Joblo. I am using MySql. I will try it.
One more query:
How do i change the layout of the member elements, in _form, from vertical to horizontal? i.e.firstname, lastname, membersince are shown in vertical. I want them all in one row(horizontally).
Set the widget property ‘tableView’ to true.
$this->widget('ext.multimodelform.MultiModelForm',array(
...
'tableView' => true,
...
));
I added ‘tableView’ => true, and i got it the way i want but i also get the unwanted field groupid in the header. How to get rid of it?
Also in update, i get a new formconfig elements without clicking on Add Item. How to resolve this too?
I have gone through your whole post, but could not fix the issues mentioned above. Please help me.
Thanks
I thought this issue is fixed, but seems not.
Try to change the code in line 831 of MultiModelForm.php to:
foreach($this->getElements() as $element)
if ($element->visible && $element->type != 'hidden')
{
....
Maybe $element->visible is not enough.
Clicking on ‘AddItem’ can only work, if there is an empty row added at the bottom of the other items.
So on updating I have to always add an empty item too, otherwise a user cannot add a new item in update mode.
But the empty row will not be saved.
Thanks the first issue is resolved
If i try adding new item and save it throws an Integrity constraint violation error.
