Re: Form validation using XoopsForm and smarty template

Hi all,

Sugar, aka RB , the Author of the magazine module is so nice that he provided me some hints at our local support site. Finally, I have solved the problem. Here is the summary of the solution :

1. Using xoopsform methods , create the prefered form eg include/form.inc.php :

<?php $form = new XoopsThemeForm($formTitle, "categoryform", $formAction, "POST"); $form->addElement(new XoopsFormText(_MD_XINVENTORY_CATEGORY_NAME, "catname", 30, 60,$catNameValue),true ); [color=0000FF]return $categoryForm->render();[/color] ?>

2.In the php script eg submit.php where you need to use this form

<?php //codes ...... $xoopsOption['template_main'] = xinventory_category.html"; include "../../header.php"; //---------------- $form = include "include/form.inc.php"; $xoopsTpl->assign('form',$form); //--------------- ?>

3. Finally, in the smarty temmplate , ie templates/xinventory_category.html :

le="color: #000000"><?php <{$form}>

One more interest thing is that, I cannot not use $form->insertBreak() in "include/form.inc.php" if I don't use $form->display(); but the above solution can get rid of this.

Hope this helps others !

Cody

Form validation using XoopsForm and smarty template

by Codyko on 2006/1/5 8:07:04

Hi! I am using XOOPS version 2.2.3. I have problem when using form validation with xoopsform and smarty template together;

Ok, I have the form like this :

le="color: #000000"><?php $form = new XoopsThemeForm($formTitle, "categoryform", $formAction, "POST"); $form->addElement(new XoopsFormText(_MD_XINVENTORY_CATEGORY_NAME, "catname", 30, 60,$catNameValue),true); $form->assign(&$xoopsTpl);

The form can be rendered through a template but I found that form validation at the "catname" field doesn't work unless I change. ie. It won't warn of empty string.

le="color: #000000"><?php $form->assign(&$xoopsTpl)

le="color: #000000"><?php $form->display()

I notice that when using the display() method, a "*" is marked beside the "catname", but there is no such mark when using the
template method.

Any idea ?

Thanks
Cody
