No POST data in login portlet

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hi,

I have a problem with my login portlet: when I submit the login form, no POST data is submitted. Here is my code:

components/LoginPortlet.php




<?php

Yii::import('zii.widgets.CPortlet');


class LoginPortlet extends CPortlet

{

    public function init()

    {

        $this->title = 'Login';

        parent::init();


    }

 

    protected function renderContent()

    {

        $model=new LoginForm;

        

        // $_POST array is always empty


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

        {

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

            if($model->validate())

                $this->controller->refresh();

        }

        $this->render('loginPortlet', array('model'=>$model));

    }

}

components/views/loginPortlet.php




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

	'id'=>'login-form',

)); ?>


	<div class="row">

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

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

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

	</div>


	<div class="row">

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

		<?php echo $form->passwordField($model,'password'); ?>

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

	</div>


	<div class="row rememberMe">

		<?php echo $form->checkBox($model,'rememberMe'); ?>

		<?php echo $form->label($model,'rememberMe'); ?>

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

	</div>


	<div class="row buttons">

		<?php echo CHtml::submitButton('Login'); ?>

	</div>


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

What’s wrong ? Thank you for this great forum !

can you print_r($_POST) in protected function renderContent()

Yes, unfortunately, print_r($_POST) gives me an empty array :frowning:




Array ( )

what is your current controller/action code? maybe there is a redirect somewhere?

5

first do a check if($_POST) to see if you successfully post. If there is a redirect it will be $_GET.

I have the same problem, did you solve yours?

My view has a very basic form


<form action="#" method="post">

<input type="text" id="new_username" size="50"/>

<input type="text" id="new_name" size="50"/>

<input type="text" id="new_address" size="50"/>

<input type="submit" value="Save" id="savenewuserbutton" name="savenewuserbutton"/>

</form>

In my controller:


foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) {

    echo "<b>$key:</b> $value<br />";

}

When i test it i only get the button value, not the input fields:

savenewuserbutton: Save

You haven’t set the ‘name’ attribute in the form fields. Try this:




<input type="text" name="new_username" id="new_username" size="50"/>

<input type="text" name="new_name" id="new_name" size="50"/>

<input type="text" name="new_address" id="new_address" size="50"/>
