Re: dynamically changing the type in form helper

Hi,

Are you sure that $type1 is a string?

I set $name, $type1, and $label as a strings read in from my config

Fatal error: Method name must be a string in form.php on line 878

It appears to be an issue with $type1 since if I replace it with
'text' (ie, hardcoded), then it works but everything is a text box
rather than date or checkbox. I have also tried putting quotes in the
data but no luck...everything just defaults to textarea.

I am a newbie to php and cake so I know it is probably something
simple...

Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks.

Re: dynamically changing the type in form helper

What is the value of $type1 when you get the error?
Which version of CakePHP are you using?
What are the values of the other variables when you get the error?
Enjoy,
John

Re: Form validation and routes - errors lead to controller/action instead of route!

Hey,

ok I found the solution, and it's really simple. Just use the 'url'
option for the form, and the routes will be no problem anymore.

Here is a brief example how to do it:

In Routes-PHP, there is an entry:
Router::connect('/register', array('controller' => 'users', 'action'
=> 'register'));

And the form in the view of the register action (views/users/
register.ctp) create the form like this:

<?php echo $form->create('User', array('url' => '/register')); ?>

That points the form to the correct route, which will lead to the
correct action. On errors like empty input fields the route will be
the same again and everthing works fine.

Form validation and routes - errors lead to controller/action instead of route!

Hey,

the problem I have came up very often the last weeks but I couldn't
find a solution yet. Maybe one of you has a clue how to do this.

The facts:

in my users_controller i have an action called "register", which is
mapped to the route http:://www.domain.com/register

This is working, and very easy to set up. But when I now make any
mistake in the form given in the register action, the url in the
browser switches back to users/register, which is the correct action,
but not the correct route!

I could do a redirect when an error occurs, but the form validation
errors (by model validation OR invalidate()) are gone when a redirect
is done.

There has to be a solution for this, I just do not want to store all
errors in the Session and add the errors manually into the form and
delete them afterwards from the Session.

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this little problem?

Missing Method??

I m trying to make a controller and a view without model. Here are the code:
Controller:
<?php
class BooksController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Books';
var $uses = array();

function index($id = 0) {
$books = array (
'0' => array(
'book_title' => 'OOP with PHP5',
'author' => 'Hasin Hayder',
'isbn' => '1847192564',
'release_date' => 'December 2007'
),
'1' => array(
'book_title' => 'Building website with Joomla',
'author' => 'Hagen Grraf',
'isbn' => '1847192577',
'release_date' => 'March 2006'
)
);
$id = intval($id);
if($id < 0 || $id >= count($books)) {
$id = 0;
}
$this->set($books[$id]);
$this->set('page_heading', 'Book Store');
$this->pageTitle = 'Welcome to the Packt Book Store!';
}
}

View:

<h2><?php echo $page_heading; ?></h2>
<dl>
<lh><?php echo $book_title; ?></lh>
<dt>Author:</dt><dd><?php echo $author; ?></dd>
<dt>ISBN:</dt><dd><?php echo $isbn; ?></dd>
<dt>Release Date:</dt><dd><?php echo $releaseDate; ?></dd>
</dl>

Those are example from CakePHP Application Development, but
unfortunately the book was using Cake 1.2.x while I have 1.3.6
version. If I try to open it via
http://http://localhost/applogic/books/ looks OK, but if I try
http://http://localhost/applogic/books/1 an error occur like:

Missing Method in BooksController
Error: The action 1 is not defined in controller BooksController

Error: Create BooksController::1() in file:
app/controllers/books_controller.php.

<?php
class BooksController extends AppController {

var $name = 'Books';

function 1() {

}

}
?>

Something not compatible between those 2 version?
