How can I create two radio buttons with one being preselected based on the value of $foo? The snippet below creates them fine but does not select either of the two buttons.
$options = array('standard' => ' Standard','pro' => ' Pro');
$attributes = array(
'legend' => false,
'value' => false,
'checked'=> ($foo == "pro") ? FALSE : TRUE,
);
echo $this->Form->radio('type',$options, $attributes);
It's simple.. use the default value to $foo:
$options = array(
'standard' => 'Standard',
'pro' => 'Pro'
);
$attributes = array(
'legend' => false,
'value' => $foo
);
echo $this->Form->radio('type', $options, $attributes);
As you can see on the documentation:
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/helpers/form.html#FormHelper::radio
you should preselect the value for any form field from the controller
#see http://www.dereuromark.de/2010/06/23/working-with-forms/ "Default Values"
This is the way to go
$attributes = array();
$options = array('standard' => 'Standard', 'pro' => 'Pro');
if($foo === 'pro') {
$attributes['default'] = 'pro';
}
echo $this->Form->radio('type', $options, $attributes);
A better Solution is to set the defaults in the controller as Mark has pointed. That way you can set defaults at the end of your controller's action like...
Let's assume your Model is Member with membership_type field
$this->data['Member']['membership_type '] = 'pro';
For CakePHP 3.x, the following syntax should work.
$options = array('Y'=>'Yes','N'=>'No');
$attributes = array('div' => 'input', 'type' => 'radio', 'options' => $options, 'default' => 'Y');
echo $this->Form->input('add to business directory',$attributes);

I have registered a custom taxonomy as part of my custom post type, but when passing it through to get_categories() it returns an empty array. Any ideas as to why?
// Register FAQ Categories taxonomy
function bv_faq_register_categories() {
register_taxonomy(
'faq-category',
'faq',
array(
'label' => 'Categories',
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'faq-category'),
'hierarchical' => true
)
);
}
add_action('init', 'bv_faq_register_categories');
// Category view
$categories = get_categories(array(
'taxonomy' => 'faq-category'
));
$categories is returning an empty array.
Have you tried get_terms instead?
$categories = get_terms( 'faq-category', array(
'orderby' => 'count',
'hide_empty' => 0
) );
Like #AD Styles said I would use get_terms using the custom taxonomy, to expand a bit here's some example code:
<?php
$post_type = 'faq-category';
// Get all the taxonomies for this post type
$taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies( (object) array( 'post_type' => $post_type ) );
foreach( $taxonomies as $taxonomy ) :
// Gets every "category" (term) in this taxonomy to get the respective posts
$terms = get_terms( array(
'taxonomy' => $taxonomy,
'parent' => 0
) );
foreach( $terms as $term ) :
echo "<h1>".$term->name."</h1>";
endforeach;
endforeach;
?>
Your code looks ok. Do you have assigned this category to any post/post type?
If not then you will get an empty result. for testing you can set 'hide_empty' = false like this:
// Category view
$categories = get_categories(array(
'taxonomy' => 'faq-category',
'hide_empty' => false // set it true
));
Also, you can use get_terms() function.
I have Form input with multiple select options. I am unable to set default values. This is my code:
<?= $this->Form->input('PaymentMethods', array(
'type' => 'select',
'multiple' => true,
'label' => false,
'options' => array(
'cash'=>'cash',
'invoice'=>'invoice',
'ax'=>'ax',
'ca'=>'ca',
'vi'=>'vi',
'tp'=>'tp',
'dc'=>'dc'
),
'default'=>'ax'
)); ?>
How do I set default values for this input with PHP only?
This is working on my system. You can also set it from controller like this :
$this->request->data[$this->modelClass]['PaymentMethods'] = 'ax';
Please check these url also
CakePHP select default value in SELECT input
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/helpers/form.html
example :
$sizes = array('s' => 'Small', 'm' => 'Medium', 'l' => 'Large');
echo $this->Form->input(
'size',
array('options' => $sizes, 'default' => 'm')
);
Since this is multi-choice select, value given must be array. And the key shouldn't be default, I should've used value instead.
<?= $this->Form->input('PaymentMethods', array(
'type' => 'select',
'multiple' => true,
'label' => false,
'options' => $options,
'value'=> $array_of_data_fetched_from_database
)); ?>
I am new to cakephp. I need to add a default
<option value="0">--Please Select--</option>
in my following select field :
$attributes = array("empty"=>false,"Selected" => 'Select City',"id" => "location");
echo $form->select("gal_location_id", $gal_locations,null,$attributes);
I tried to add
$gal_locations[0] = "--Select City--";
$attributes = array("empty"=>false,"default" => 0,"id" => "location");
but the option coming at the bottom of the list. What is the proper way to add the default option ?
You're looking for the "empty" attribute:
$this->Form->input('gal_location_id', array(
'type' => 'select',
'options' => $gal_locations,
'empty' => 'Select City', // <-- Shows as the first item and has no value
'id' => 'location'
));
See the equivalent in CakePHP3 from this post

With the following option you dont get a notification to choose a dropdown item.
So if you're just looking for a default value and force the user to pick another, just replace the assign a string to 'empty'.
echo $this->Form->input('db_field', [
'label' => 'My Drop Down',
'empty' => [$default => $default], //Your default options
'options' => $my_options //Your array /list'
]);
echo $this->Form->input('country_id',[
`enter code here`'options' =>$country,
'label' => false,
'class'=>'form-control select2',
'empty'=> 'Select...',
'value' => ''
]);
I'd like to add a select box for searching with the CakeDC Search Plugin. IE:
<select name="field">
<option value="email">Search By Email</option>
<option value="first_name">Search By First Name</option>
</select>
Currently what I have in my VIEW is:
echo $this->Form->create('User', array(
'url' => array_merge(array('action' => 'index'), $this->params['pass'])
));
echo $this->Form->input('email', array('div' => false, 'empty' => true));
echo $this->Form->input('first_name', array('div' => false, 'empty' => true));
This works just fine this way, but I'd like to avoid the multiple input boxes and simplify it with a select box. I could hard it (take the value from the select box and combine it with the value from the input box), but there has to be another way to do it...
Here is my User Module:
public $filterArgs = array(
'email' => array('type' => 'like'),
'first_name' => array('type' => 'like')
);
And this is my Controller:
public function index() {
$this->Prg->commonProcess();
$this->paginate['conditions'] = $this->User->parseCriteria($this->passedArgs);
$this->set('users', $this->paginate());
}
i think you are looking for
echo $this->Form->input('search', array('div' => false, 'empty' => true));
and
public $filterArgs = array(
'search' => array('type' => 'like', 'field'=>array('email', 'first_name')),
);
and
public $presetVars = true;
but you would lose the "AND" of the two inputs in favor of an OR (this is less powerful).
if thats ok for you, this would be the way.
help me to fix isPut or isPost for save logic, in the following code i can view the data in the from, but when i am trying to save it its not working, i have tried ispost and isput logic both are not working. i think problem is with controller sections not with view
here is view of my form,
<?php
echo $this->Form->create('Role',array('url'=>array('controller'=>'Organisations','action' => 'edit_profile'),'id' => 'role'));
echo $this->Form->input('RoleLanguage.rolename',array('label'=>'Profile Name:','id'=>'rolename'));
$options = array('A' => 'Approve', 'P' => 'Pending', 'D' => 'Delete');
echo $this->Form->input('Role.status', array(
'options'=>$options,
'empty' => false,
'label'=>'Status',
'style'=>'width:100px',
'id'=>'status'
));
$id= array('value' => $id);
//print_r($id);die();
echo $this->Form->hidden('rle_id', $id);
echo "<br>";
$options = array('R' => 'Role', 'P' => 'Position', 'T' => 'Team','C'=>'Core Strategic Profile');
echo $this->Form->input('Role.type', array(
'options'=>$options,
'empty' => false,
'label'=>'Type of Job Profile:',
'style'=>'width:100px',
'id'=>'type'
));
echo "<br>";
echo $this->Form->input('RoleLanguage.external_document_URL',array('label'=>'External Document URL:','id'=>'external_document_URL','type'=>'text'));
echo "<br>";
echo $this->Form->input('RoleLanguage.description', array('style'=>'width:420px','rows' => '5', 'cols' => '5','label'=>'Description','id'=>'description'));
?>
here is controller logic
function edit_profile($id=NULL)
{
$this->layout='Ajax';
//print_r($id);die();
$this->set('id',$id);
$this->Role->recursive = 0;
$this->Role->id = $id;
$language = $this->getLanguage('content');
$this->Role->unBindModel(array("hasMany" => array('RoleLanguage')));
$this->Role->bindModel(array("hasOne" => array('RoleLanguage'=> array('foreignKey' => 'rle_id', 'className' => 'RoleLanguage', 'type' => 'INNER', 'conditions' => array('RoleLanguage.language' => $language)))));
$this->data = $this->Role->read();
//print_r($this->data);die();
if ($this->RequestHandler->isPut())
{
$this->data=array(null);
$this->autoRender = false;
$acc_id = $this->activeUser['User']['acc_id'];
$this->data['Role']['acc_id'] = $acc_id;
unset($this->Role->RoleLanguage->validate['rle_id']);
print_r($this->data);die();
$this->Role->saveAll($this->data);
}
}
i am serializing data in another view from where i am calling the qbove view code for that is
$.ajax({
type: 'Put',
url: $('#role').attr('action'),
data: $('#role').serialize()
It could be that the data is failing the model validation test that occurs when you call saveAll.
Have you tried printing $this->Role->invalidFields() to see if there is anything there?
