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();
}

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 have a custom CButtonColumn within the CGridView.
one of the custom buttons is firing a CJuiDialog. now the problem is,
how to pass the id when clicked, so that the Controller will get the id, then I can do pass a model and renderPartial it inside the CJuiDialog?
here's what i have so far
'see' => array(
'label' => 'View',
'url' => 'Yii::app()->controller->createUrl("mycontrollerName/view,array("id" => "$data->id"))',
'click' => "function( e ){
e.preventDefault();
$( '#view-dialog' ).data('id',$(this).attr('id'))
.dialog( { title: 'View Details' } )
.dialog( 'open' ); }"
),
having given that code snippet.. in the controller action, I want to have the id ..is it $_GET['id'] ?, or $_POST['id'] ?..it doesn't matter for as long as I can get it so that I can use it to query in the model function
There are a few syntax errors in your code, but more importantly, you shouldn't wrap $data->id in any quotes.
'see' => array(
'label' => 'View',
'url' => 'Yii::app()->createUrl("mycontrollerName/view", array("id" => $data->id))',
'click' => "function( e ){
e.preventDefault();
$( '#view-dialog' ).data('id',$(this).attr('id'))
.dialog( { title: 'View Details' } )
.dialog( 'open' ); }",
),
So you are trying to pass the id value in the javascript code.
This is more of a jQuery issue rather than having much to do with Yii.
Run console.log($(this).attr('id')); you will probably see that you get an 'undefined' value. That is because the tag generated by Yii for the button does not contain an id parameter.
The easiest solution is to use jQuery to work with the url parameter.
e.g.
$( '#view-dialog' ).data('id',$(this).attr('href'))
if the entire URL is not needed, you could use a regex to parse only the numerical ID.
Alternatively you will have to pass the id in the buttons option parameter.
e.g.
'see' => array(
'label' => 'View',
'url' => 'Yii::app()->createUrl("mycontrollerName/view", array("id" => $data->id))',
'options' => array('id' => $data->id),
'click' => "function( e ){
...
However, please note that Yii will not render the value of $data->id in the 'option' parameter as this is not evaluated in CButtonColumn.
You will have to override Yii's CButtonColumn (see http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/372/cbuttoncolumn-use-special-variable-data-for-the-id-in-the-options-of-a-button/)
Personally, if I were you, I'd implement some Javascript in some external code and have a regex to parse the id from the URL.
I have an update form, and within that form there is a table where I want to populate using ajax after filling in a couple of fields. I have tried using ajaxSubmitButton but somehow it just doesn't trigger the action that I want.
Here is my view:
<?php
echo CHtml::ajaxSubmitButton('Insert', array('myController/insertProgress'), array(
'type' => 'POST',
'success' => 'function(){
alert("success");
}',
'data' => array(
'progress' => 'js:$("#progress").val()',
),
)
);
?>
myController:
public function actionInsertProgress() {
$data = $_POST['progress'];
//do stuff here, including echoing the table row
}
When I click the submit button, it doesn't trigger the insertProgress action, but instead the main form action which is actionEdit. It's as if the URL that I provided is being ignored.
The url for this form goes something like this:
(sitename)/(modulename)/myController/edit/id/57
Thank you.
EDIT: I do have another submit button to update the whole form, which triggers the actionEdit action.
EDIT2: this is what the widget produces:
<script type="text/javascript">
/*<![CDATA[*/
jQuery(function($) {
jQuery('body').on('click','#yt0',function(){jQuery.ajax({'type':'POST','data':{'progress':$("#progress").val()},'url':'http://inarac.id/adm/topikkajian/insertProgress','cache':false});return false;});
});
/*]]>*/
</script>
If you are using module you should add the modele path to your link
$myLink = Yii::app()->getBaseUrl(true) .
'/index.php/moduleName/myController/insertProgress';
<?php
echo CHtml::ajaxSubmitButton('Insert',
$myLink, array(
'type' => 'POST',
'success' => 'js:function(){
alert("success");
}',
'data' => array(
'progress' => 'js:$("#progress").val()',
),
)
);
?>
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'm trying to make a lookupfield-like in my application.
The intention is that the user click on a browse-button, and it pops-up a dialog(widget) with a grid(CGridView) inside. The user could select a row, and the 'Description' column is sent to a textField into my form.
I've already done this part by registering the following script in the form:
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScript('scriptName', '
function onSelectionChange()
{
var keys = $("#CGridViewUsuario > div.keys > span");
$("#CGridViewUsuario > table > tbody > tr").each(function(i)
{
if($(this).hasClass("selected"))
{
$("#Funcionario_UsuarioId").val($(this).children(":nth-child(1)").text());
}
});
}
');
And my widget:
<?php $this->beginWidget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDialog', array(
'id'=>'mydialog',
'options'=>array(
'title'=>'Usuário',
'width' => 'auto',
'autoOpen'=>false,
),
));
$this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
'dataProvider' => Usuario::model()->searchByLogin($model->UsuarioId),
'id' => 'CGridViewUsuario',
'filter' => Usuario::model(),
'columns' => array(
'Login',
'Nome',
),
'htmlOptions' => array(
'style'=>'cursor: pointer;'
),
'selectionChanged'=>'js:function(id){ onSelectionChange(); }',
));
$this->endWidget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDialog');
?>
Now there are two tasks for me to do:
When the user clicks the browse button, the CGridView should appear
with the filter already filled with the input he typed in the form.
Put the CGridView filters to work.
Not forgetting that, If all this runs successfully, when the user clicks on the save button, I'll have to save the corresponding ID of the lookupField in the model.
You can, simply provide a callback function for the dialog's open event, and in the callback function
use jquery selectors to select the input filters(of the gridview) you want to select, and populate its values from whichever field in the form you want:
$("#CGridViewUsuario .filters input[name='Userio[login]']").val($("#Funcionario_UsuarioId").val());
// replace the names/ids to whatever you are using,
// if you want to set multiple values, then you might have to run a loop or each() or something of that sort
then call the server to update the gridview according to the values you populated, using jquery.yiigridview.js' $.fn.yiiGridView.update function:
$.fn.yiiGridView.update("CGridViewUsuario", {
data: $("#CGridViewUsuario .filters input").serialize()
});
you can see the jquery.yiigridview.js file in the generated html, or in your assets folder, and within that you'll find the $.fn.yiiGridView.update function.
To subscribe to the dialog's open event you can pass the function name to the 'open' option of the dialog's 'options' field:
$this->beginWidget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDialog', array(
'id'=>'mydialog',
'options'=>array(
'title'=>'Usuário',
// other options
'open'=>'js:dialogOpenCallback'
),
));
And you can define the function in your registerScript() call itself:
<?php
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScript('scriptName', '
function onSelectionChange()
{...}
function dialogOpenCallback(event,ui){
$("#CGridViewUsuario .filters input[name='Userio[login]']").val($("#Funcionario_UsuarioId").val());
// replace the names/ids to whatever you are using,
$.fn.yiiGridView.update("CGridViewUsuario", {
data: $("#CGridViewUsuario .filters input").serialize()
});
}
');
Further you can change how you are calling your onSelectionChange() function:
'selectionChanged'=>'js:onSelectionChange'//'js:function(id){ onSelectionChange(); }',
and change your function signature: function onSelectionChange(id).
Almost forgot, change your dataprovider and filter of the gridview, to model instances, and not static instances.
