This is my scenario. A home page with a upload form, user upload the images and submit, then the controller will catch the data from user, add it in the Model. Finally the image info will display in the another page.
I put the actionIndex() in the siteController to render the home page, the actionUpload() in the same file to handle the data user. So in the view, what should I put in the form action to invoke the actionUpload(). I think the flow is quite weird in Yii when I read the blog demo code, I just follow same way with the ASP.NET MVC. Suggest me the right way, plz. Thanks
Depends on how you build your form. If using CHtml, do the following:
<?= CHtml::beginForm($this->createUrl('site/upload'))?>
If you have a model that sits behind it:
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'login-form',
'action' => $this->createUrl('site/upload'),
)); ?>
Please check the Yii documentation and examples on how to properly set up forms. You have several choices here.

This is on my model rules:
array('verifyCode', 'captcha', 'allowEmpty'=>!CCaptcha::checkRequirements()),
This is on my _form:
$this->widget('CCaptcha', array('buttonOptions' => array('class' => 'captcha-anchor')));
On my accessRules:
array('allow','actions'=>array('create','index','view','member', 'captcha'),
'users'=>array('*'),
),
I keep getting,
"The verification code is incorrect"
no matter what I do.
I'm using AjaxValidation with CActiveForm, and wish to keep using it.
Any clue how to fix this?
Please don't post any link, if you happen to know the answer, please describe it, so we can discuss if in need.
Please note that the captcha image is displaying and reloading. No issues there.
Thanks.
I have same problem and it return false every time because :
1- I define Get POST in some base controller and i send a ajax request to home controller which extended from base , because i can not call base controller directly so i change ajax request to current controller not home controller for all pages.
2- I hard coded JQuery in my layout so Yii load two JQuery in the Page so it send 2 request , first verified and second fails, i disabled JQuery auto load helping by this link.
I have app in Yii framework and i want to add Captcha in it and i don't want use Yii defaults .. long story short , i found one which works fine without framework so i created an action and i put image creation function in it, but when i call that action i get broken link.
yii/mycontroller/createcaptchaimage
What is wrong in my solution ?
the captha code is in this link .
There is nothing wrong in your solution. You Obviously have some Routing issue . Did you checked your main.php or .htaccess ?
I found this captcha-extended extension more beautiful than CCapthcha. Here is the link:
http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/captcha-extended/
You call it just like normal CCaptcha widget from any view/layout file:
<?php $this->widget('CCaptcha'); ?>
This will look for controller action "captcha" which is defined in array of actions.
public function actions(){
return array(
'captcha'=>array(
'class'=>'CaptchaExtendedAction',
// if needed, modify settings
'mode'=>CaptchaExtendedAction::MODE_MATH,
),
);
}
I am working with Yii Jui widgets to have JuiTabs in a website. The problem is when the site is loading I first see the list (without any css) and then after the page loads the tabs show as they should. I wonder if there is a way to preload JuiTabs somehow so they show correctly when the page is loading.
Here is my code:
<?php
$this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiTabs', array(
'tabs'=>array(
'PRESENTAZIONE'=>array('content'=>$this->renderPartial('spettacoli/_view_presentazione', array('model'=>$model),$this)),
...
),
'options'=>array(
'collapsible'=>false,
),
));
?>
And here is the example of the page. The problem is visible when the internet connection is slow, and it takes time until the page loads
Not sure that's possible to preload JuiTabs somehow, but you can add display: none for CJuiTabs by default and show that with JS on page load. Not the best way, but first idea came into my mind.
I want to create an AJAX-registration form on my Yii-project. So on every page I have a login-button, which shows a popup if the user isn't authorized. In that popup he can see registration form with email field, password field, and CAPTCHA (default Yii captcha).
So, my model for user's registration is User. There is a validation rule:
array('code', 'captcha', 'allowEmpty'=>!Yii::app()->user->isGuest),
My controller, where all user's actions are, is User (url: site.url/user/) and I added there captcha action:
'captcha'=>array(
'class'=>'CCaptchaAction',
'backColor'=>0xFFFFFF,
'foreColor'=>0x000000,
),
In my next code:
$this->widget('CCaptcha', array(
'clickableImage' => true,
'showRefreshButton' => false,
))
And here is a problem:( Being inside a popup, which can be shown on every page (index page, for example, which belongs Main controller) captcha wants to load an image from that controller (from /main/captcha, not /user/captcha).
Adding captcha in every controller is bad idea, so I added
'captchaAction' => '/user/captcha',
But after that captcha wants to load from an url
http://site.loc/user/captcha/v/4fe99aca1bbed
User-friendly url's crashed captcha and I can't avoid it (as I think, not being a yii-expert, it's because of common path-config).
Is there an easy solution to solve this? Should I repair URL's or re-configure CAPTCHA?
So, while I was waiting for help, I solved the problem by myself :)
In my project i separated my controllers into the next hierarchy:
/frontend
/backend
All controllers for common users are (of course) in Frontend section, including UserController and MainController.
Yes, I wrote some configs to hide /frontend/ in URL's like this:
'<c:\w+>/<a:\w+>' => 'frontend/<c>/<a>',
And i was sure, that string in my CAPTCHA config ('captchaAction' => '/user/captcha') knows where to go (and it was almost so!), but NO!
I should write FULL PATH to my controller and action like below:
'captchaAction' => '/frontend/main/captcha',
As I said in question, I placed my CAPTCHA action in UserController, but now you can see it is located in MainController (i deleted it from UserController)
And I got an error:
CCaptchaValidator.action "captcha" is invalid. Unable to find such an action in the current controller.
So, to solve this, I just had to use a property captchaAction of CCaptchaValidator in my User MODEL! Code:
array('code', 'captcha', 'captchaAction'=>'/frontend/main/captcha', 'allowEmpty'=>!Yii::app()->user->isGuest)
So, now my AJAX Captcha validation works correctly where I want.
Good luck with Yii's default CAPTCHA, dear community!
I create form using the following code:
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'contacts-form',
'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,
)); ?>
Is there any way to submit the form by AJAX? Remember not I am not talking about AJAX validation.
One way to do this is to use the built in ajaxSubmitButton helper, like so:
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'contacts-form',
'enableAjaxValidation'=>false,
)); ?>
<!-- your form elements here -->
<?php echo CHtml::ajaxSubmitButton(Yii::t('app', 'Submit')); ?>
<?php $this->endWidget(); ?>
This automatically binds a jQuery AJAX call to the SUbmit button which will POST the form values to your from's action URL.
You could also write the AJAX code yourself, of course, but Yii has this helper function too.
This helper ajaxSubmitButton function isn't terribly useful, especially since it uses jquery.ajax() without using the "Promise interface" in jquery 1.5+, so you have to process the response through the success callback. This would have been cleaner if they just used jquery.submit(). You're better off just rolling your own, honestly.
I'm disappointed that none of the (relatively popular) Bootstrap integrations like Yii-Bootstrap or YiiBooster offer much of anything in terms of generating forms that refresh themselves with ajax response data either (I'm not talking validation). I go through all the trouble of learning & adopting a framework, only to end up html/js/css-coding my own frontend presentation and logic anyway... Oh well.
I'm still a Yii enthusiast, mostly due to their gii generator and support for quasi-mixin patterns with "behaviors". It leads to clean code on the backend, but the framework has some growing to do on the frontend & view rendering. Their "CHtml" library really isn't cutting it right now.
