I did not found any answer to this. So is there a way in Wagtail to have an AbstractEmailForm without AbstractFormField (for example, can I hard code them into AbstractEmailForm? I know that AbstractEmailField has some variables that Django requires). I just need to have a contact form only with email field, I dont need to set fields dynamically.
And the second question: How do I set permission for that form page so that only superuser can edit the form page?(And the translated version too? There are a lot of answers to this, but I don't actually understand how to do it with AbstractEmailForm).
Thanks a lot!
If you're hard-coding your form fields, then the Wagtail forms module doesn't really give you anything that you don't already get from Django's forms framework, and so you're better off using Django forms directly. The serve method on a Wagtail page is equivalent to a Django view function, so any form-processing logic that would normally go into a view function can be placed in serve.
There's an example of this here (but written for Wagtail 1.x, so imports will need adjusting): https://github.com/gasman/wagtail-form-example/commits/master

I want to replicate the html that the cakephp form helper creates, so i can add to it and integrate it into my bootstrap front end. Basically the cakephp form helper isnt generating the html I need.
Someone else built the app using cake forms, and I dont want to rewrite the backend.
I thought it would simply be a case of including the correct input names, form classes etc, and building upon it. It seems however that even an exact copy/paste of the form html doesnt trigger the cakephp form errors.
It sends identical headers to cake,
http://pastebin.com/JZyCk6cv
so I can only assume that the cakephp form helper does some jiggery pokery when its constructed in the template, in order to trigger validation errors?
I think the best solution is to create a custom CakePHP-Helper. If you're using twitter-bootstrap i recommend this Helper, packed as a plugin:
https://github.com/loadsys/twitter-bootstrap-helper
Form validation should work, as it uses CakePHP's core form-helper to create inputs and labels.
Maybe you don't have to rewrite or edit much if you use search and replace (replace $this->Form->input by $this->TwitterBootstrap->input).
We are migrating our website to DotNetNuke and are looking to replicate the functionality of our survey page. Currently, on the bottom of every e-mail we send through our CRM system, there is a link to a satisfaction survey along with some parameters to pre-populate some of the fields. So the URL looks something like like:
/survey.aspx?ticketID=1234&userName=John+Doe
I found the custom module "helferlein_Form" which seems okay for actually creating the form that the user fills in, but I don't see a way to pre-populate the fields. DotNetNuke does let you insert tokens(ex: [Date:now], [User:username]), but I don't see a way to grab individual parameters from the URL. Is there something I'm missing that will let me do that?
I'm not familiar with that module either, but I would strongly recommend using Xmod for customized forms that allow you to easily grab url parameters.
I'm not sure about the module you reference.
However, in my experience Dynamic Forms from Data Springs would fit the bill perfect. It has the ability to pre-fill and even run custom SQL queries to get data.
You should definitely try our My Tokens module.
It allows you to access the URL parameters using [Get:ticketID] or [QueryString:tickedID]. You can also build SQL tokens that use these parameters to return a list of items for example to populate a dropdown.
Also try our Action Form module which integrates very nice with My Tokens.
If you have a module you like and want to use you can always write a little javascript to grab the variables out of the URL and pre-populate your form fields using javascript.
I have a doubt, i've been working with salesforce for a while and now i have a requirement from a customer.
They need that some custom fields be populated with a value of parent object, making some research on stackoverflow, i found this post, but this isn't working for me because my project is a manage package and when this is installed on a another salesforce instance the id of custom field change.
if someone could help me, I will be grateful.
Thanks!.
I can't see any way of doing the same as that post without using the IDs, I was thinking you could route via a VF page and build up the URL in the controller but it doesn't seem as though you can get the IDs of fields, just their type etc..
I think the best you could do in this instance is to override the default new recordpage with a visualforce page. In the constructor of your controller you could then loop through the page parameters and pre-fill the corresponding fields on the new record before it's displayed on screen. Using fieldsets or just an <apex:Detail> component would keep the level of effort down and also maximise the flexibility of the page for the end users.
I need to post a product details in twitter whenever it is added in my website.I am using Cakephp, and i use twitter datasource available in book.cakephp.org . It returns a 'Basic authentication is not supported ' message
when i searched it, i get that twitter is now using OAuth, how can i impliment this in my data source?. i did it referring the below url
http://book.cakephp.org/view/1077/An-Example
Anybody please help.
The Cake Book link seems to be out of date and relevant to the time before Twitter implemented OAuth.
I have accomplished what you're trying to do using http://code.42dh.com/oauth/ but this is basically a controller and a component, not a datasource as you asked.
There's a CakePHP OAuth Datasource for CakePHP which might work (I haven't tried it) but you'll need to add the PHP Oauth library too. If you choose to do this, let me know if it works as interacting with Twitter as a datasource makes a lot more sense, especially as Cake are depreciating components.
I have created this - it isnt a datasource but it provides a model you can use to accomplish what you need to do:
https://github.com/voycey/CakePHP-Twitter-API-v1.1-Full
You can either use a Shell to have it post automatically or you can just call it in your controller when you add your entity.
I'm using CakePHP's ACL component to manage permissions for my app. I have about three different "Roles", with different access levels. I am using the HTML helper throughout, to create links to different pages. I would like links to only display if the user has permission to access the page.
The obvious but cumbersome approach, I guess, would be to set variables to the view containing permissions and show links based on these variables.
I was wondering if there is a better way - perhaps a helper that extends the HTML helper to provide a method that checks permissions first?
Thanks.
I wouldn't recommend to use a helper which has this sort of functionality.
This is because this helper would have to do the checking on every link you use on that page. This would slow down your application.
So I think the best approach is your approach. Set the permission on login and display your links accordingly.
We are using this in our application, too, and it works very good and fast.
