I have a CForm with three submit buttons:
'buttons'=>array(
'preview'=>array(
'type'=>'submit',
'label'=>yii::t('core','Show preview'),
),
'draft'=>array(
'type'=>'submit',
'label'=>yii::t('core','Save draft'),
),
'submit'=>array(
'type'=>'submit',
'label'=>yii::t('core','Submit'),
),
CHtml::link(yii::t('core','Cancel'),yii::app()->homeUrl),
),
The ‘submitted’ CForm method allows me to distinguish which button was used and conduct actions accordingly, as you can see from this controller action:
class CreateAction extends CAction
{
public function run()
{
/**
* @var string the default layout for the view.
*/
$this->controller->layout='column1';
$model = new Post;
$form = new CForm('application.forms.post.userForm', $model);
// Uncomment the following line if AJAX validation is needed
//$this->controller->performAjaxValidation($model);
if ($form->submitted('preview') && $form->validate())
{
// Show the post preview and the form
$model->attributes=$_POST['Post'];
$this->controller->render('create',array('model'=>$model,'form'=>$form));
}
elseif(($form->submitted('submit') || $form->submitted('draft')) && $form->validate())
{
// Save the model
$model->setScenario('create');
$model->attributes=$_POST['Post'];
$model->user_id = Yii::app()->user->id;
// Set status
if($form->submitted('submit'))
$model->status=Post::STATUS_PROPOSED;
else
$model->status=Post::STATUS_DRAFT;
if($model->save())
{
$this->controller->redirect(Yii::app()->homeUrl);
}
}
else
$this->controller->render('create',array('form'=>$form));
}
}
So far so good. Now for the challenge: I want to turn this CForm into a CActiveForm. The problem is that it has no ‘submitted’ method, e.g. $form->submitted(‘preview’) does not work anymore. What would be the way to do this?
