i develop a custom module with forms to save data in SQL-Datebase. I want to use for that the node-structure.
Normal SQL-savings for example table works but not for the node-tables.
Any idea what is going wrong?
This ist my Code for saving, which works in non-node-tables:
public function submitForm(array &$form, FormStateInterface $form_state) { $connection = \Drupal::service('database');
$result = $connection->insert('node.node__body')
->fields(['body_value'])
->values([
'body_value' => 'text for body',
])
->execute();
$form_state->setRedirect('modulname.form');
}
Use Entity API in Drupal to manipulate or create a node.
In your case,
$node = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('node')->create(
[
'type' => 'page',
'title' => 'New Basic Page',
'body' => 'text for body'
]
);
Here, type is the content type machine name. Don't forget to update with your own. Also you probably want to inject the entity_type.manager service and use in the code.

I simply need to add a custom field named 'color' in Category admin. I've always used this method in previous version but it seems that's not working anymore in 1.7.6 :
override/classes/Category.php
/**
* Class CategoryCore
*/
class Category extends CategoryCore
{
public $color;
public function __construct($id_category = null, $id_lang = null, $id_shop = null){
self::$definition['fields']['color'] = array('type' => self::TYPE_HTML, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isCleanHtml');
parent::__construct($id_category, $id_lang, $id_shop);
}
}
override/controllers/admin/AdminCategoriesController.php
class AdminCategoriesController extends AdminCategoriesControllerCore
{
public function renderForm()
{
$this->fields_form_override =array(
array(
'type' => 'text',
'label' => $this->trans('Color', array(), 'Admin.Global'),
'name' => 'color',
'maxlength' => 70,
'maxchar' => 70,
'lang' => true,
'rows' => 5,
'cols' => 100,
'hint' => $this->trans('Forbidden characters:', array(), 'Admin.Notifications.Info').' <>;=#{}'
),
);
return parent::renderForm();
}
}
Finally, I added a text field in the Database (ps_category_lang) and I deleted all the cache.
The field doesn't appear. Someone has this problem? Do I need to use a module instead of this method?
Thanks !
It seems that this process is not longer supported in 1.7.6 version. We also need to create a module with the new Symfony model.
There is a french source that explain how to. Here is the link.
I created a new post with my own code and the new procedure. I'm stucked in the save of the field in database. Here is the link.
Same here, i don't know why its not working. I follow all the instruction.
Im using Prestashop 1.7.6, maybe this procedure is not working with the latest prestashop version. Because based on what i read, they use prestashop v1.6 older.
You don't need a module.
I tried your code and it work for me
Try to clear cache in the backoffice interface and where are you put each file ?
I'm creating a back-office module for Prestashop and have figured out everything except the best way to display the admin page. Currently I'm using the renderView() method to display the content of view.tpl.
I would like to display a table with values and an option to add a new row. Should I just create it in the view.tpl or is there a better way? I've seen the renderForm() method but haven't figured out how it works yet.
The biggest question I have is, how do I submit content back to my controller into a specific method?
ModuleAdminController is meant for managing some kind of records, which are ObjectModels. Defauly page for this controller is a list, then you can edit each record individually or view it's full data (view).
If you want to have a settings page, the best way is to create a getContent() function for your module. Besides that HelperOptions is better than HelperForm for this module configuration page because it automatically laods values. Define the form in this function and above it add one if (Tools::isSubmit('submit'.$this->name)) - Submit button name, then save your values into configuration table. Configuration::set(...).
Of course it is possible to create some sort of settings page in AdminController, but its not meant for that. If you really want to: got to HookCore.php and find exec method. Then add error_log($hook_name) and you will all hooks that are executed when you open/save/close a page/form. Maybe you'll find your hook this way. Bettter way would be to inspect the parent class AdminControllerCore or even ControllerCore. They often have specific function ready to be overriden, where you should save your stuff. They are already a part of execution process, but empty.
Edit: You should take a look at other AdminController classes, they are wuite simple; You only need to define some properties in order for it to work:
public function __construct()
{
// Define associated model
$this->table = 'eqa_category';
$this->className = 'EQACategory';
// Add some record actions
$this->addRowAction('edit');
$this->addRowAction('delete');
// define list columns
$this->fields_list = array(
'id_eqa_category' => array(
'title' => $this->l('ID'),
'align' => 'center',
),
'title' => array(
'title' => $this->l('Title'),
),
);
// Define fields for edit form
$this->fields_form = array(
'input' => array(
array(
'name' => 'title',
'type' => 'text',
'label' => $this->l('Title'),
'desc' => $this->l('Category title.'),
'required' => true,
'lang' => true
),
'submit' => array(
'title' => $this->l('Save'),
)
);
// Call parent constructor
parent::__construct();
}
Other people like to move list and form definitions to actual functions which render them:
public function renderForm()
{
$this->fields_form = array(...);
return parent::renderForm();
}
You don't actually need to do anything else, the controller matches fields to your models, loads them, saves them etc.
Again, the best way to learn about these controller is to look at other AdminControllers.
I have the following button:
<?php $this->widget('bootstrap.widgets.TbButton', array(
'label'=>'myLabel',
'buttonType'=>'ajaxButton',
'url'=>'someUrl',
'type'=>'primary', // null, 'primary', 'info', 'success', 'warning', 'danger' or 'inverse'
'size'=>'small', // null, 'large', 'small' or 'mini'
'ajaxOptions'=>array(
'type' => 'POST',
'beforeSend' => '
function( request ) {
//alert(request);
}'
,
'success' => 'function( data ) {
//alert(data);
}'
,
'data' => array(
'actionName' => "INCREMENT"
)
),
)); ?>
So, the tricky part is, how do I connect this button to actual backend code? I would assume it's done by posting to a URL. In my case I've got a URL set as:
'url'=>'someUrl'
Does this mean I must create a view, controller and model so there is a URL to post to? isn't there an easier way without going through that effort?
You do not necessarily need a new view. But you will need an action that catches this request.
In Yii each action has a unique url that refers to it, and there are functions that generate such a url for us, namely createUrl. There are other versions of createUrl also, the one here is from CController.
So you'd modify your url property as:
'url'=>$this->createUrl('controller-name/action-name')
Then in your controller add the action:
public function actionActionname(){
// do your server-side stuff
// maybe also return some message back to client-side view
if(success)
echo "Y";
else echo "N";
Yii::app()->end();
}
in my custom theme-settings.php (zen-subtheme) i put following code to get a new textarea with textformat in my theme-settings:
<?php
function paper_form_system_theme_settings_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {
$form['paper_data'] = array(
'#type' => 'text_format',
'#title' => 'Put Text in here:',
'#rows' => 5,
'#resizable' => FALSE,
'#default_value' => 'xyz..',
'#format' => 'full_html'
);
}
the form is working perfektly, but when i want to access the variable by writing
<?php
$pdata = theme_get_setting('paper_data');
echo $pdata;
?>
in my page.tpl.php, the content of the variable is not rendered - instead the word "Array" is printed ...
What's wrong and why? (If i use 'textarea' as type instead of 'text_format', all is rendered well.)
You will understand when you use something like the Devel module's dpm() function to check the variable rather than echo(). Coding Drupal without the Devel module is, IMHO, folly.
The issue very likely stems from your use of the text_format type. As you can see, it saves both the textarea value as well as an associated text format. When this is used Drupal returns the data in structured form which varies depending on the type of format.
dpm() is your friend :)
I'm trying to add a plain text node in a zend form - the purpose is to only dispay some static text.
The problem is - im not aware of any such way to do it.
I have used 'description' but that HAS to be attached to a form element.
Is there any way to simply display some text as part of a form? Zend considers everything as a form element so I cannot just print it out.
Eg:
The following will test your ability on so and so.
.

.
etc...
Any thoughts?
Zend has a form note view helper (Zend_View_Helper_FormNote), which you can use to add text.
Just create a new form element (/application/forms/Element/Note.php):
class Application_Form_Element_Note extends Zend_Form_Element_Xhtml
{
public $helper = 'formNote';
}
In your form:
$note = new Application_Form_Element_Note(
'test',
array('value' => 'This is a <b>test</b>')
);
$this->addElement($note);
Adding a hidden element with non-escaped description does the thing.
$form->addElement('hidden', 'plaintext', array(
'description' => 'Hello world! Check it out',
'ignore' => true,
'decorators' => array(
array('Description', array('escape'=>false, 'tag'=>'')),
),
));
Works perfectly. It is still attached to an element, which is, however, not rendered this way.

There might be a better way, but I created a paragraph by using a custom form element and view helper. Seems like alot of code for something so simple. Please let me know if you've found a more simplistic way to do it.
//From your form, add the MyParagraph element
$this->addElement(new Zend_Form_Element_MyParagraph('myParagraph'));
class Zend_Form_Element_MyParagraph extends Zend_Form_Element
{
public $helper = 'myParagraph';
public function init()
{
$view = $this->getView();
}
}
class Zend_View_Helper_MyParagraph extends Zend_View_Helper_FormElement {
public function init() {
}
public function myParagraph() {
$html = '<p>hello world</p>';
return $html;
}
}
A little late but thought I'd throw it in anyway for the benefit of the community.
Aine has hit the nail on the head. FormNote is what you need if you want to use text in Zend_Form. However, you can use it without needing to extend Zend_Form_Element_Xhtml. See example below:
$text = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('myformnote');
$text->setValue("Text goes here")
->helper = 'formNote';
Note that you can use both text and html with the formNote helper.
This functionality is built into Zend via Zend_Form_Element_Note.
$note = new Zend_Form_Element_Note('forgot_password');
$note->setValue('Forgot Password?');
I faced the same problem and decided is better not to use Zend_Form at all, but to use directly view helpers (like Ruby on Rails does) and validate on the model.
This one-liner works for me:
$objectForm->addElement(new Zend_Form_Element_Note('note', array('value' => 'Hello World')));
