I have a simple question regarding Doctrine Modules Object Select.
I have a simple objectSelect form element
$this->add(array(
'name' => 'timezone',
'type' => 'DoctrineModule\Form\Element\ObjectSelect',
'options' => array(
'label' => _('Timezone:'),
'label_attributes' => array('class' => 'required'),
'object_manager' => $this->getEntityManager(),
'target_class' => 'Application\Entity\Timezones',
'property' => 'timezone',
'is_method' => true,
'find_method' => array(
'name' => 'FindAll',
),
),
));
Now I want to select a certain option as default, I have used the setValue method to do this but it is not working.
$this->get('timezone')->setValue(335);
Does anyone know why this is?
Many thanks in advance.
I figured out why it wasn't working.
In my controller I was binding my form to a Doctrine entity which was empty. This was overriding my values I set. I added the values in my controller after the form was bound and this fixed the issue.
$entityManager = $this->getEntityManager();
$site = new Sites($this->getServiceLocator());
$form = new AddSiteForm($this->getServiceLocator());
$form->setHydrator(new DoctrineObject($entityManager));
$form->bind($site);
$form->get('timezone')->setValue(335);
$form->get('currencyCode')->setValue('GBP');

I tried pretty much everything I found by searching here and at Google too but still no luck.
I have User entity with ManytoMany relation with Countries, here is it:
/**
* #var \Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection
* #ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="Admin\Entity\Country", cascade={"persist", "remove"})
* #ORM\JoinTable(name="user_country_linker",
* joinColumns={#ORM\JoinColumn(name="user_id", referencedColumnName="id")},
* inverseJoinColumns={#ORM\JoinColumn(name="country_id", referencedColumnName="id")}
* )
*/
protected $countries;
Now I'm trying to display DoctrineModule\Form\Element\ObjectSelect with allowed/ assigned countries only. I do have this list available by calling $this->zfcUserAuthentication()->getIdentity()->getCountries().
Is there any way to pass this ArrayCollection to ObjectSelect form element?
$this->add(array(
'name' => 'country',
'type' => 'DoctrineModule\Form\Element\ObjectSelect',
'options' => array(
'label' => 'Country',
'object_manager' => $em,
'target_class' => '\Admin\Entity\Country',
'property' => 'code',
'find_method' => array(
'name' => 'findBy',
'params' => array(
'criteria' => array(),
'orderBy' => array('id' => 'asc'),
),
),
'column-size' => 'sm-10',
'label_attributes' => array('class' => 'col-sm-2'),
'help-block' => 'Select country where the entity is present'
),
'attributes' => array(
'required' => false
)
));
Many thanks for the help, I really appreciate it!
How to fill a Dropdown in your controller is best described here: zf2 create select/drop down box and populate options in controller?. This is basically AlexP's solution.
If this is not what you are looking for, maybe the method described by this post can help you. At least it could help others like me that were looking for a solution like this: http://samsonasik.wordpress.com/2014/05/22/zend-framework-2-using-doctrinemoduleformelementobjectselect-and-custom-repository/
You basically create a custom reposity which holds a custom query to retrieve possible solutions:
namespace Your\Repository;
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository;
class CountriesRepository extends EntityRepository
{
public function getPossibleCountries()
{
$querybuilder = $this->_em
->getRepository($this->getEntityName())
->createQueryBuilder('c');
return $querybuilder->select('c')//... define your query here
->getQuery()->getResult();
}
}
You can then refer to that method in your ObjectSelect:
$this->add(array(
'name' => 'continent',
'type' => 'DoctrineModule\Form\Element\ObjectSelect',
'options' => array(
'object_manager' => $this->entityManager,
'target_class' => 'Your\Entity\User',
'property' => 'contries',
'is_method' => true,
'find_method' => array(
'name' => 'getCountries',
),
),
));
I have a table with a list of person that belong to different categories A and B for example. My problem is that i have a form with DoctrineModule ObjectSelect and i want to show in the ObjectSelect only the name of persons of Category A.
I find this https://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineModule/blob/master/docs/form-element.md#example-3--extended-version but the example is not clear for me and i don't know how to adapt it to my case.
Thank you.
excuse me for my english.
It's actually quite similar to the example you were looking at (I guess that's why there is no example for it), the only difference is that instead of using find/findBy/... you pass your custom repository name as name key, with code similar to this:
$this->add(array(
'name' => 'my-select-object',
'type' => 'DoctrineModule\Form\Element\ObjectSelect',
'attributes' => array(
),
'options' => array(
'label' => 'My Label',
'object_manager' => $entityManager,
'target_class' => 'Application\Entity\MyEntity',
'property' => 'name',
'is_method' => true,
'find_method' => array(
'name' => 'myCustomRepositoryMethod',
'params' => array(
),
),
),
));
Also notice that your entity needs to know about repository existence, so make sure it uses this line:
#ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="Application\Entity\Repository\MyCustomRepository")
So when you open the form with this ObjectSelect it will call you repository method instead of loading the dropdown directly. That method should just return an array of entity objects which are then used by ObjectSelect to generate select element's options.
I have a problem validating if my user checked at least one option from a list of checkboxes.
Here is what i tried:
My view looks like this:
echo $this->Form->input('market_segment_targeted', array(
'multiple' => 'checkbox',
'label'=>array('text' => 'Market segment targeted', 'class'=>'w120'),
'options' => array(
'Home users' => 'Home users',
'SOHO' => 'SOHO',
'SMB' => 'SMB',
'Enterprise' => 'Enterprise'
),
));
In my controller i have added this snippet of code:
$validate_on_fly = array(
'market_segment_targeted' => array(
'notEmpty' => array(
'rule' => array('multiple', array('min' => 1)),
'required' => true,
'message' => 'Please select at least one!'
))
)));
$this->Partner->validate = Set::merge(
$this->Partner->validate,
$validate_on_fly
);
Any ideas what am i doing wrong?
Thank you
In CakePHP you can use Model Validation for checkboxes. Here is a quick example.
Your Form can look like:
$this->Form->create('User');
$this->Form->input('User.agree', array('type'=>'checkbox', 'hiddenField'=>false, 'value'=>'0'));
$this->Form->submit('Save'):
$this->Form->end();
Then in your Model under public $validate, use:
'agree'=>array(
'Not empty'=>array(
'rule'=>array('comparison', '!=', 0),
'required'=>true,
'message'=>'You must agree to the ToS'
)
)
I'm using \DoctrineModule\Validator\NoObjectExists to validate my form submission. But, like the ZendDB adapter, I need to exclude all the rows where FieldX equals to SomethingX.
How can I achive that?
This is my form, filter input:
$filter->add(
$factory->createInput(array(
'name' => 'example',
'required' => false,
'validators' => array(
array(
'name' => '\DoctrineModule\Validator\NoObjectExists',
'options' => array(
'object_repository' => $this->mainRepository,
'fields' => 'example'
),
),
),
))
);
Thanks.
I have the models Item and Actor with a HABTM relation (working fine).
Now, I added the Role model, wich holds the actorid, itemid (as foreign key) and the actors' role.
In my Item view, I'd like to display the actor and its' role.
I have set recursive =2.
When I debug $items, I receive all the roles belonging to that actor.
Instead I'd like only the role displayed, that contains the viewed itemid AND actorid.
I believe I might need to tweak my models but don't know how.. Any suggestions?
Item Model
public $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
'Actor' => array(
'className' => 'Actor',
'joinTable' => 'item2actor',
'foreignKey' => 'item_id',
'associationForeignKey' => 'actor_id',
'unique' => 'true'
));
public $hasMany = array(
'Role' => array(
'className' => 'Role',
'foreignKey' => 'actorid',
));
Actor Model
public $hasAndBelongsToMany = array(
'Item' => array(
'className' => 'Item',
'joinTable' => 'item2actor',
'foreignKey' => 'actor_id',
'associationForeignKey' => 'item_id',
'unique' => 'true'));
public $hasMany = array(
'Role' => array(
'className' => 'Role',
'foreignKey' => 'actorid',
));
Instead of using a -very large- query and recursive I suggest using Containable behavior with which it's much easier to maintain the data you want to receive from DB.
