Hi,
I'm fairly driven by what marketing wants this time, but for things like
conference registrations, I'm going to be definitely looking into the
OAuth/SSO options. Will be keeping an interested eye out for what you guys
come up with though :)
Another couple of learnings, thanks to our webteam here:
If the span field has an inner label field that has a for reference in it,
tapping/clicking on the label text will move the cursor to the associated
input box, without having to actually tap/click in the box.
Here's whats on our portal page now i've messed with it:
<span><label for="phone">Phone Number</label></span>
<input class="field" autocomplete="on" id="phone" name="phone" type="text"
value="[% phone | html %]" />
Adding the autocomplete pops up a possibly helpful previously entered value
as well. For me, for this phone value, its my home phone number, but it
might save some people some typing + add accuracy.
In terms of an array being added to the database for a custom field, I'm
pretty sure I've found the problem area.
This isn't a proper patch, because its against possibly the devel branch,
but it allowed me to submit an array of answers via a multiselect into the
database:
I've essentially just replaced inside the foreach loop with a ref test +
crappy handling. A push + join probably would be neater, but I tend to
write for me a few years in the future looking at my code and going "what
idiot...... oh.."
man Catalyst::Request has details, but the old $request->params call is
deprecated, and only returns the first value of a array if called in a
scalar context. Figuring out if something is an array without knowing for a
way of testing for the array is difficult. I opted for the call it as a
reference and test approach.
Now: (line 476) in
/usr/local/pf/html/captive-portal/lib/captiveportal/PacketFence/Controller/Signup.pm
sub setupSelfRegistrationSession : Private {
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
my $request = $c->request;
foreach my $field (@PERSON_FIELDS) {
if(ref($request->parameters->{$field}) eq "SCALAR"){
$c->session->{$field} = $request->parameters->{$field};
}
elsif(ref($request->parameters->{$field}) eq "ARRAY"){
my $string = "";
foreach my $value (@{$request->parameters->{$field}}){
$string .= $value.",";
}
#get rid of trailing comma
chop $string;
$c->session->{$field} = $string;
}
else {
#not sure else needed, but might be.
$logger->error("ERROR:
".__PACKAGE__."::setupSelfRegistrationSession storing first scalar for
unhandled datatype for field $field");
$c->session->{$field} = $request->parameters->{$field};
}
}
my $phone = $request->param("phone");
$c->session->{company} = $request->param("organization");
$c->session->{telephone} = pf::web::util::validate_phone_number( $phone
);
$c->session->{phone} = pf::web::util::validate_phone_number( $phone
);
$c->session->{sponsor} = lc( $request->param("sponsor_email") );
# guest pid is configurable (defaults to email)
$c->session->{guest_pid} = $c->session->{
$Config{'guests_self_registration'}{'guest_pid'} };
}
Was:
sub setupSelfRegistrationSession : Private {
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
my $request = $c->request;
foreach my $field (@PERSON_FIELDS) {
$c->session->{$field} = $request->param($field);
}
my $phone = $request->param("phone");
$c->session->{company} = $request->param("organization");
$c->session->{telephone} = pf::web::util::validate_phone_number( $phone
);
$c->session->{phone} = pf::web::util::validate_phone_number( $phone
);
$c->session->{sponsor} = lc( $request->param("sponsor_email") );
# guest pid is configurable (defaults to email)
$c->session->{guest_pid} = $c->session->{
$Config{'guests_self_registration'}{'guest_pid'} };
}
Hope this proves useful,
Cheers,
David
