I'm developing an app in cakePHP and I'd like to use Foundation Tooltips into it.
I need to add data-tooltip to the input in order to make it work, but I don't know how to do it with the cakePHP form helper.
Right now I'm using:
<?php echo $this->Form->input('title', (array( 'label' => __('title'),
'class' => 'has-tip',
'title' => __('Tooltip for initiative title'),
)));
And is returning this:
<input name="data[Initiative][title]" class="has-tip" title="Tooltip for initiative title" maxlength="255" type="text" id="InitiativeTitle" required="required">
When I need this:
<input data-tooltip name="data[Initiative][title]" class="has-tip" title=...>
I've tried adding 'data-tooltip'to the input array with no luck, but I'm sure it has to be an easy way of doing it.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English.
<?php echo $this->Form->input('title', array( 'label' => __('title'),
'class' => 'has-tip',
'title' => __('Tooltip for initiative title'),
'data-tooltip'=>""
));

I've read CakePHP multiple checkbox array HTML the right way but getting strange results. I have a list of tags (from a Model called Tag). I want to loop through these and output checkboxes for them in a View.
So I have obtained the Tag data in my Controller with:
$tags = $this->Tag->find('list', ['order' => ['name' => 'ASC']]);
$this->set('tags',$tags);
When I loop through it in my View I am trying to output the checkboxes in between Bootstrap markup:
<?php echo $this->Form->create('GroupTag'); ?>
<?php foreach ($tags as $tag_id => $tag): ?>
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<?php echo $this->Form->checkbox('tag_id[]', array( 'value'=> $tag_id)); ?>
<?php echo $tag; ?>
</label>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
I copied the syntax for tag_id[] from the post I linked to.
But when I inspect the markup it's producing the following as the name attribute for each <input type="checkbox">:
data[GroupTag][tag_id[]]
Should this not be
data[GroupTag][tag_id][]
?
The idea is that I have multiple checkboxes with a name attribute tag_id[] and then in the Controller I can loop through what has been checked.
Please can someone advise on this as I can't get it working and have looked into examples provided on here/docs.
Try this
$this->Form->checkbox('tag_id.', array( 'value'=> $tag_id))
You can also do this:
$this->Form->input('GroupTag.tag_id', [
'type' => 'select',
'multiple' => 'checkbox',
'options' => $tag_id
]);
FormHelper::select(string $fieldName, array $options, array $attributes)
Example:
$options = array(
'Value 1' => 'Label 1',
'Value 2' => 'Label 2'
);
echo $this->Form->select('Model.field', $options, array(
'multiple' => 'checkbox'
));
Output:
<div class="input select">
<label for="ModelField">Field</label>
<input name="data[Model][field]" value="" id="ModelField"
type="hidden">
<div class="checkbox">
<input name="data[Model][field][]" value="Value 1"
id="ModelField1" type="checkbox">
<label for="ModelField1">Label 1</label>
</div>
<div class="checkbox">
<input name="data[Model][field][]" value="Value 2"
id="ModelField2" type="checkbox">
<label for="ModelField2">Label 2</label>
</div>
</div>
I'm building a custom settings form in Drupal 7, with an image upload field. This image field should allow multiple uploads.
After some research I found out you can do this with managed_file and '#attributes' => array('multiple' => 'multiple'). However this doesn't seem to do anything.
This is the code I currently have:
$form['frontpage_banner_images'] = array(
'#type' => 'managed_file',
'#title' => t('Frontpage Images'),
'#name' => 'files[]',
'#attributes' => array(
'multiple' => 'multiple',
'class' => 'testclass',
),
'#upload_location' => 'public://homepage-banners/',
'#default_value' => variable_get('frontpage_banner_images'),
);
With this as result:
<div class="form-item form-type-managed-file form-item-files-">
<label for="edit-frontpage-banner-images-upload">Frontpage Images</label>
<div id="edit-frontpage-banner-images-upload" class="testclass form-managed-file">
<input type="file" id="edit-frontpage-banner-images-upload" name="files[frontpage_banner_images]" size="22" class="form-file">
<input type="submit" id="edit-frontpage-banner-images-upload-button" name="frontpage_banner_images_upload_button" value="Upload" class="form-submit ajax-processed">
<input type="hidden" name="frontpage_banner_images[fid]" value="0">
</div>
</div>
As you can see, the testclass from my #attributes is being applied on the wrapping div and not on the file input. So the multiple attribute isn't doing anything.
This is what I'm trying to achieve (Photoshopped):
Any help on how to achieve this is appreciated.
The multiple option does not seem to be supported. Then again you are using it under the #attributes. This would cause IMO the html element to have an atttribute multiple, but I don't see anything in /modules/file/file.js to pick up on that, so that's presumably why it's not doing anything.
You're probably better off using plupload, as suggested here.
I would like to know if it's possible to format the name of the checkbox when I try to send it to my other page via a GET method.
Actually I've got a multiple checkboxes that generate something like:
<div class="checkbox"><input type="checkbox" name="test[]" value="1" id="ResearchTest1" /><label for="ResearchTest1">First Test</label></div>
<div class="checkbox"><input type="checkbox" name="test[]" value="2" id="ResearchTest2" /><label for="ResearchTest2">Second Test</label></div>
<div class="checkbox"><input type="checkbox" name="test[]" value="3" id="ResearchTest3" /><label for="ResearchTest3">Third Test</label></div>
And when I send my form, my URL looks like:
research%3D%26test%3D%26test%5B%5D%3D1%26test%5B%5D%3D2%26test%5B%5D%3D3
Which is :
research=&test=&test[]=1&test[]=2&test[]=3
And what I would like, will be:
research=&test1=1&test2=2&test3=3
Or
research=&test=1&test=2&test=3
Or, much better:
research=&test=1,2,3
Any ideas ?
That is how checkboxes work, if you want test1=1&test2=2&test3=3 then you should name each checkbox individually.
echo $this->Form->checkbox('foo', array('name' => 'test1'));
echo $this->Form->checkbox('foo', array('name' => 'test2'));
echo $this->Form->checkbox('foo', array('name' => 'test3'));
This will make your processing much harder.
You can do research=&test=1,2,3 with JS join(). Why you want to make this difficult for yourself I dont know. You can easily get that same format in the controller doint the GET with implode(',', $theData)
I would recommend using standards for submitting your form and process the data later.
You can define the name of the input using the FormHelper:
echo $this->Form->checkbox('yourInputId', array('name' => 'yourInputName'));
The problem is that I use a multiple checkboxes:
$this->Form->input('tests', array('type' => 'select', 'multiple' => 'checkbox', 'options' => $options));
So I can't rename each checkbox individually.
Maybe I should not use cakephp for this, but try to write my own checkboxes directly in html?
CakePHP usually place labels before the input, so doing this:
echo $this->Form->input('subject');
We obtain this:
<div class="input text required">
<label for="TicketSubject">Subject</label>
<input name="data[Ticket][subject]" maxlength="255" type="text" id="TicketSubject">
</div>
Is there any way to place the label after the input to obtain this?
<div class="input text required">
<input name="data[Ticket][subject]" maxlength="255" type="text" id="TicketSubject">
<label for="TicketSubject">Subject</label>
</div>
Thanks.
The proper way is using the the 'format' option.
$this->Form->input('subject', array(
'format' => array('before', 'input', 'between', 'label', 'after', 'error')
));
Didn't anyone read the API :)
You can try this:
echo $this->Form->input('subject', array('label' => false, 'after' => $this->Form->label('Subject:')));
You can do like this also -
echo $this->Form->input('subject', array('label' => false, 'after' => '<label for="subject">Subject</label>'));
I am having an issue with my submit button and I think its because I just left it in the regular format echo $this->Form->end('Submit') but actually I want to translate these properties into CakePHP <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submitrating" class="button"/> .
How can I create those properties on the submit button in CakePHP html helper form?, I am switching from a conventional php website to cake php.
Thank you
You can add attributes by passing them as an array.
$this->Form->end(
array(
'label' => 'Submit',
'name' => 'submitrating',
'class' => 'button'
)
);
