Working With Widgets

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

I would like my “login page” to be on my navbar. What I did was just copy what’s inside the actionLogin to actionIndex like so


	public function actionIndex()

	{

		$model=new LoginForm;


		// if it is ajax validation request

		if(isset($_POST['ajax']) && $_POST['ajax']==='login-form')

		{

			echo CActiveForm::validate($model);

			Yii::app()->end();

		}


		// collect user input data

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

		{

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

			// validate user input and redirect to the previous page if valid

			if($model->validate() && $model->login())

				$this->redirect(Yii::app()->createUrl('myprofile/index'));

		}

		$this->render('index');

	}

And my widget


<?php

    class LoginWidget extends CWidget

    {

        public function run() {

            $this->render('login-widget', array('model'=>new LoginForm()));

        }

    }

?>

The view


<?php         

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

        'id'=>'login-form',

        'action'=>Yii::app()->createUrl('site/login'),

        'method'=>'POST',

        'enableAjaxValidation'=>true,

        'enableClientValidation'=>true,

        'clientOptions'=>array(

            'validateOnSubmit'=>true,

            )

        ));


    echo $form->errorSummary($model);

?>

    <div class="form-group">

        <?php echo $form->textField($model,'username',array('placeholder'=>'Employee Code','class'=>'form-control')); ?>

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

    </div>

    <div class="form-group">

        <?php echo $form->passwordField($model,'password',array('placeholder'=>'Password','class'=>'form-control')); ?>

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

    </div>

    <div class="form-group">

        <?php echo CHtml::submitButton('Sign in', array('class'=>'btn btn-success')); ?>

    </div>

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

But when I try to login, nothing happens. It just shows up on the browser what I just typed (which should not happen). I can only login thru site/login. You can try it at oamsystem2.cloudcontrolled.com

first try to debug what is received via POST array using


print_r($_POST['LoginForm']);

and if you get your username and password correctly then proceed

3

as i read source from the website you provided and in the form tag method not specified it might be the problem

4

I’m not sure what tag method you’re referring to. What do you suggest I do?

5

I’m afraid I’m not getting anything at all. What am I doing wrong?

6

in your navbar the form you rendered does not have the action example in <form> tag method is missing. so use like this




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

        'id'=>'login-form',

        'action'=>Yii::app()->createUrl('site/login'),

        'enableAjaxValidation'=>true,

        'enableClientValidation'=>true,

        'clientOptions'=>array(

            'validateOnSubmit'=>true,

            )

        ));

Note:

[list=1]

[*]no need to specify action when you want to submit the form to the current action

[*]no need to specify method because it defaults to post

[/list]
