I know how to create individual Zend_Form objects and display them in my view,
error check them, etc. Now what I am attempting to do though is have a form
class that can be called via various methods and have different combinations of
the form (output) be displayed.
If I only assign the first call of $form->assignToExisting() to my view, I get
one form with one text field with the value of 'Test Field 1' as expected. If I
have both calls though, I get two forms (as expected) but both have the same
field of 'Test Field 2'. Am I not using clearElements() like I think it should
be used?
Or is there a better way I should be approaching this?
Thanks!!
In my controller
----------------
$form = new forms_exception_assignPartnerAliases();
$this->view->form_assignToExisting = $form->assignToExisting();
$this->view->form_createNew = $form->createNew();
Form Class
----------
class forms_exception_assignPartnerAliases extends Zend_Dojo_Form
{
private $_request;
// Normally a definition here - saving space in this post
protected $_elementDecorators = null;
public function init()
{
// Get request object
$this->_request =
Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest();
$this->setMethod( 'post' )
->setAction(
'/manage/exception/assign/by/partner' )
->setName( 'assign' );
}
public function assignToExisting()
{
// Clear all previous elements since this form
object is being used to display two different forms via shared code base
$this->clearElements();
$this->_addHiddenElements();
$this->addElement(
'text',
'description',
array(
'decorators'
=> $this->_elementDecorators,
'label'
=> 'Test Field 1',
'value'
=> 'test1',
)
);
return $this;
}
public function createNew()
{
// Clear all previous elements since this form
object is being used to display two different forms via shared code base
$this->clearElements();
$this->_addHiddenElements();
$this->addElement(
'text',
'description',
array(
'decorators'
=> $this->_elementDecorators,
'label'
=> 'Test Field 2',
'value'
=> 'test2',
)
);
return $this;
}
private function _addHiddenElements()
{
$this->addElement(
'hidden',
'qualifier',
array(
'value' =>
$this->_request->getParam('qualifier'),
)
);
}
}
