cakephp 3 bootstrap-ui change prev/next text - cakephp

I have FriendsofCake Bootstrap-ui plugin. I see in the source that it accepts text for the pagination prev and next labels.
I am not sure how to exactly set the config option though.
PaginatorHelper.php
if (isset($options['next'])) {
if ($options['next'] === true) {
$options['next'] = $this->config('labels.next');
}
$options['after'] = $this->next($options['next'], ['escape' => false]) . $options['after'];
}
I was trying this below in the bootstrap.php but no effect
Configure::write('friendsofcake.PaginatorHelper.labels.prev', 'previous');
But I see they are also set in the __construct
Answer
With the help from drmonkeyninja here is the exact code needed to configure the labels in the AppView.php
$this->loadHelper(
'Paginator',
[
'className' => 'BootstrapUI.Paginator',
'labels' => [
'prev' => 'previous',
'next' => 'next',
]
]
);

This appears to be badly documented, but to configure any of the settings for a helper you need to pass them as an array when you load it. So for example, if you are loading the Paginator helper inside your AppView you would pass prevlike this:-
$this->loadHelper(
'Paginator',
[
'className' => 'BootstrapUI.Paginator',
'prev' => 'previous'
]
);

Hook into elementor widget?

I am trying to find a hook that will let me add my own code into an existing elementor widget. For example they have the "post widget" which lets you display a list of posts based on the conditions/categories you set.
I would like to add my own code into this "block" but am unable to find any specific hooks for hooking into an existing widget (specifically the posts widget)
Any help would be much appreciated. Is there a hook for this? If not what is my next best option?
Thanks!
This depends on what you want to achieve but in general there are hooks.
I am not sure about the posts-widget but I can show you some examples in general.
If you want to add controls to a widget use this (you can find additional information to the names and stuff in their documentation https://developers.elementor.com/add-controls-to-widgets/)
add_action( 'elementor/element/heading/section_title/before_section_end', function( $element, $args ) {
$element->add_control( 'title_color',
[
'label' => 'Color' ,
'type' => \Elementor\Controls_Manager::SELECT,
'default' => 'red',
'options' => [
'red' => 'Red',
'blue' => 'Blue',
],
'section' => 'section_title',
'tab' => 'content',
]
);
}, 10, 2);
the widget in the example is the heading. You can find out the registered names by inspecting the editor or the blocks inside the plugin directory
If you want to change the rendered content of a widget you can use this
add_action( 'elementor/widget/render_content', function( $content, $widget ){ // $content (string) = the rendered content of the widget; widget = the data object
if ($widget->get_name() === 'heading') { // your targeted widget
$settings = $widget->get_settings(); // every that is stored in this method. Titles, captions, margins and so on. Usually this is all you need
// eg if you simply want to wrap your widgets content you can do something like this
$content .= '<div class="i-am-a-wrapper">'.$content.'</div>';
}
return $content;
}, 10, 2 );
I hope this helps :)

Form elements not being submitted

So I've got a weird problem that I'm having a hard time figuring out. I've got a simple form with a few elements that are not being submitted, all of these elements have only one thing in common, they're select elements:
echo $this->Form->control("spirit_type_id", [
"label" => false,
"type" => "select",
"options" => $spirit_types,
"empty" => "Spirit Type"
]);
echo $this->Form->control("country_id", [
"label" => false,
"type" => "select",
"options" => $countries,
"empty" => "Country"
]);
echo $this->Form->control("region_id", [
"label" => false,
"type" => "select",
"options" => $regions,
"empty" => "Region"
]);
And in my controller I have:
public function add() {
$spirit = $this->Spirits->newEntity();
$spirit_types = $this->Spirits->SpiritTypes->find("list");
$countries = $this->Spirits->Countries->find("list");
$regions = $this->Spirits->Regions->find("list");
if ($this->request->is("post")) {
debug($this->request->getData());
die();
$spirit = $this->Spirits->patchEntity($spirit, $this->request->getData());
$spirit->user_id = $this->Auth->user("id");
if ($this->Spirits->save($spirit)) {
$this->Flash->success("Your spirit was successfully saved.");
$this->redirect(["action" => "index"]);
} else {
$this->Flash->error("Your spirit could not be saved.");
}
}
$this->set(compact("spirit", "spirit_types", "countries", "regions"));
}
The important part is that debug statement. It shows this when I insert data using the form.
[
'name' => 'Longrow Peated',
'image' => 'imageLocation',
'brand' => 'Springbank',
'age' => '',
'cost' => '55'
]
Those are all text and/or number elements in my form, and they all come out just fine. It gets a little weirder though. I have validation in my table to require those id fields:
public function validationDefault(Validator $validator) {
$validator->requirePresence(
"name", "brand", "spirit_type_id", "country_id", "region_id", "age", "cost", "image"
)
->notEmpty("name", "We require a name")
->notEmpty("brand", "We require a brand or distillery")
->notEmpty("spirit_type_id", "We require a type of alchohol")
->notEmpty("country_id", "We require a country of origin")
But this doesn't ever seem to get triggered when I insert the data using patchEntity, it's only caught when I actually call the save function and I try inserting into the database.
If $this->request->getData() is not showing all of your fields, the most likely cause would be some sort of problem with your form; there are not a lot of ways for CakePHP to discard your data from here. You can narrow it down by using browser tools (built into most of them now) to inspect the data actually being sent from your browser in the page request.
If it turns out that the fields really aren't being sent across at all, the problem is almost certainly in your form. For example, you might be closing it early, or there might be HTML errors that confuse the browser. Make sure that all of your input tags are between the <form> and </form>, and if they are then try an HTML validator to check your code. There are lots of options online, and even the inspectors built into browsers can often help you spot these sorts of issues.
This is the most common problem:
If you check debug($this->request->getData()); before $spirit = $this->Spirits->newEntity(); you then see all submitted data!
Next go to Spirit Entity and double check if your fields "spirit_type_id,.." accessible!
/**
* Fields that can be mass assigned using newEntity() or patchEntity().
*
* Note that when '*' is set to true, this allows all unspecified fields to
* be mass assigned. For security purposes, it is advised to set '*' to false
* (or remove it), and explicitly make individual fields accessible as needed.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $_accessible = [
'*' => true, // quick fix
'id' => false,
];
or better way:
protected $_accessible = [
'spirit_type_id' => true,
'country_id' => true,
// etc ...
];
Edit
debug
$spirit = $this->Spirits->patchEntity($spirit, $this->request->getData());
debug($spirit); exit();
see if any errors.

CakePHP 3 hasMany update strange behaviour

I have JobsTable:
This is relation definition:
$this->hasMany( 'JobContracts', [
'foreignKey' => 'job_id'
] );
Saving code:
$entity = $this->patchEntity( $entity, $toSave, [
'fieldList' => ['notes],
'associated' => [
'JobContracts' => ['fieldList' => ['id', 'checked']]
]
] );
And now:
if I put this notes in fieldList then JobContracts are NOT saved properly.
If I remove fieldList, then I am able to save it properly.
Question is Why? I need to control base model fields also. Any suggestions?
Ive already checked: http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/saving-data.html#avoiding-property-mass-assignment-attacks
You need to allow assigning the association property too, not only notes. If you don't, then the associated data is never going to be set on the resulting entity, and consequently is not going to be saved.
Check the docs that you've linked again, the tags example shows exactly that:
// Only allow changing the title and tags
// and the tag name is the only column that can be set
$entity = $this->patchEntity($entity, $data, [
'fieldList' => ['title', 'tags'],
'associated' => ['Tags' => ['fieldList' => ['name']]]
]);
$this->save($entity);
http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/orm/saving-data.html#avoiding-property-mass-assignment-attacks
So, add job_contracts to the field list, and you should be good.

hook_action_info does not create its VBO list item in view

I am trying to code my custom action using views and VBO.
The my view shows the user a list of commerce line items.
Here the code:
function nlmcode_action_info() {
return array(
'vbo_download_pdf' => array(
'type' => 'entity',
'label' => t('Download PDF'),
'configurable' => FALSE,
'triggers' => array('any')
),
);
}
function vbo_download_pdf($entity, $context) {
dpm("Do the magic here.");
}
I then can see the bulk operation available in the select field but once I have selected my custom 'Download PDF' option and added to the view, the item is missing in the VBO drop down list.
Solved.
Permissions to 'Download PDF' have to be set.

Drupal 7 FAPI type button does not work

Ik am doing a very simple form where I add a button which should do some functionality, but it's not working. Altough the button is visible on the page and when I click it the page is refreshed. Can anyone see what's wrong with this code ?
function donation_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
if ($form_id == 'wedding_article_node_form') {
$form['add_donation'] = array(
'#type' => 'button',
'#submit' => array('donation_add_donation'),
'#value' => t('Add donation'),
);
}
}
function donation_add_donation(&$form, &$form_state) {
dpm('test');
dpm($form);
}
You need a submit type element if you want to run a submit handler. From the documentation:
When the button is pressed, the form will be submitted to Drupal, where it is validated and rebuilt. The submit handler is not invoked.
(emphasis mine)
Try use the property "#executes_submit_callback" and set it to TRUE
$form['preview'] = array(
'#type' => 'button',
'#value' => t('Preview'),
'#weight' => 19,
'#executes_submit_callback' => TRUE, // add this line.
);
Good Luck
Muhammad
