Is there an example of how I can use the select mulitoptions using the Zend Forms in Zend Franework 2. I have got a requirement where I need to populate the selection box with the data from database and give the user the option to select multiple options, so that when the user selects his choice of options and submits it, then I want to store it in another table. I just described my requirement, I know how all these things work with normal PHP, MySQL and HTML. Since I dived into the Zend Framework 2 very recently, searched the Zend Framework 2 offcial website and found examples for using 'Select', but nothing for select multioptions. In case if some one can guide me how to approach this issue, their efforts would be appreciated.
If I understand your question correctly, I would start by looking at the Zend\Form\Element\Collection element class.
There is quite a good tutorial/resource that uses the Collection element:
http://packages.zendframework.com/docs/latest/manual/en/modules/zend.form.collections.html
Instead of using an element's class name to define the target_element, create an instance of Zend\Form\Element\Select and populate the dropdown values using setValueOptions() and pass this as the target_element.
The tutorial uses JavaScript to add new items to the collection.

I wonder how to make some fields of an entity extension searchable in the administration through the "/api/search/my-entity" api-endpoint. By default they are not considered during search as it looks like.
I found the answer by debugging the search-endpoint:
The association-Field of the EntityExtension needs to have a SearchRanking-flag:
...->addFlags(new SearchRanking(SearchRanking::ASSOCIATION_SEARCH_RANKING))
Then you can add SearchRanking-flags in the EntityExtensionDefinition as you like, e.g.:
(new StringField('test', 'test'))->addFlags(new SearchRanking(SearchRanking::HIGH_SEARCH_RANKING)),
After that the fields are searchable via the search-endpoint :)
As far as the API is concerned, search functionality should automatically be generated following your custom entity definitions.
When it comes to facilitate Admin search for your entity, you need to add some code to the administration component as described in the docs: https://developer.shopware.com/docs/guides/plugins/plugins/administration/search-custom-data (even though it looks not fully up-to-date w.r.t to the current Shopware versions).
I am trying to create some dynamic forms using Piranha CMS. As far as I managed to learn it is not supported right now, so I'm looking for work arounds or alternatives.
What I want to do now is use the editor from the manager for other users. To be more precise: this is how the editor looks like inside my manager when I want to edit a page
I have a text input and a select, both are Fields and there are many more fields to be used.
I want the sys admin to create a page with a list of inputs like this, which right now are usable only by the admin. BUT make this list of inputs available for edit to other users as well. Is it possible?
I'm not sure how to extract this editor or behavior or even if it is possible. The problem is we really need the admin to be able to configure different form inputs for users as it is the main core of our functionality.
Any help/advice is highly appreciated, thank you!
The components in the management UI is not designed to be reused in the front-end application in any way. The edit models in the manager contains a lot of extra meta data since the UI is completely generic. If you want to build an edit UI in your front end application, and you're using MVC or Razor Pages, the simplest way is to.
Get the generic model instead of your strongly typed model, for example api.Pages.GetById(...) instead of api.Pages.GetById<T>(...).
Loop the available fields in your selected region (a region is an ExpandObject which can be casted to an IDictionary<string, object>).
Use the built in support in Razor by calling #Html.EditorFor(...) for the fields.
Using this approach you can easily create your own EditorTemplates for the different types of fields you use that will match the rendering in your client application.

My project aims to provide the end user the ability to dynamically design forms in run-time. That would be something like a simple web based IDE to design web-forms.
The end user should be able enter all the components and their respective properties of the web form at runtime.
A web form should be generated based on the components and properties defined by the user and the final form should be displayed.
Is reflections the best ways to do this? If so could you please point me an appropriate page as to how I would have to do this?
Are there other ways to implement this apart from reflections?
I tried researching on web-parts but , I came to realize that web parts was not what I intended to do with the project because I would not know any of the properties of the components in advance during compile time.
Does it have to be webforms and its controls running from server ( from System.Web.UI )?
Just to share some experience, we have a huuge codegeneration like applications, which given parameters ( which could be input like ones or the whole database depending of the case ) can generate html submiting forms to server side using jquery and/or dojo ajax features...
because we want simplicity, we decided we would not generate server side controls dinamicaly
the bottom line is, I don't know your requirement, but maybe you want to do something similar.
I have developed a web page for a database using catalyst and template toolkit. I have a table in my webpage. I want to have a search option in the same web page, which fetches data dynamically from the back end(database) and allows the user to search in the database.
I have jQuery datatables in my page, but it doesnot fetch the data from the database instead it will search in the table and give the result. As I am a new user to perl and catalyst, I request to tell me how can I have a search option in my webpage.
If my question is not clear,I would explain in detail.
What you're asking is not trivial to achieve, but can be done.
You need to first have a good read of the documentation on DataTables regarding server-side processing, and then rewrite the Catalyst Controller in your app that generates your data so that it mirrors the behaviour of Allan's PHP code: applying filters, sorts and limits, then returning JSON results. If you're using DBIx::Class and/or SQL::Abstract modules, it should be possible to create the equivalent functionality in far less code.
It's not for the faint-hearted, though. I've written and manage an application that uses Catalyst, TT and DT to render CRUD screens and I'm still not rushing to do a conversion to server-side processing until it proves absolutely necessary. (YAGNI principle + time-poor life.)
I am currently investigating the possibilities of different CMSs for a company-site.
Done quite a few projects in classical ASP, ASP.NET, Joomla etc..
I would like to use Umbraco 5 for the first time.
For that project we have a SQL-Table with Job-Opportunities:
like: JobName, Department, Description, etc..
These should be listed on a page. In ASP.NET I would use something like a Repeater, etc.. with PageSize option and automatic paging.
In the Backend (Backoffice in Umbraco, I assume) there has to be an Insert/Edit/Delete Page with the corresponding input boxes, which are maintained by the company employees, not by web-developers.
Which route should I look at? I am completely stuck, is there an example anywhere?
Can I use my own data-tables, or could/should I use the Umbraco content tables for this?
Thank you,
Reinhard
Welcome to Umbraco.
If you choose to use a pre-existing database, you're going to need the following pieces:
an ORM to access read/write the data
a custom hive provider for that data to allow for Umbrace to read it as an entity
a custom tree to allow for editing and adding data in the backoffice
a macro to display the content on the frontend.
http://web-matters.blogspot.com/2011/11/umbraco-5-hive-provider-tree-editor.html
is a great place to start.
As you're probably picking up on, this is a lot of work.. so, most importantly: Are you trying to maintain two applications?
If so, do you really need to be able to edit the list in both applications? Your task would be much simpler if you only allowed editing from the other application, and displayed the read-only list using web services.
If not, ditch the custom database. Umbraco 5 is a full EAV/CR system, so unlike some CMS products, you'll be able to represent any rdbs structure you can imagine. The simplest way would be to create a custom document type with those properties to represent a job opportunity, and store those job opportunities on a new node in the content tab.
