#6301: Change default behavior of FormHelper.input to call the type method (if
the
type method exists)
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: captainego | Type: Enhancement
Status: new | Priority: Low
Milestone: 1.3.x.x | Component: Helpers
Version: 1.2 Final | Severity: Minor
Keywords: FormHelper | Php_version: PHP 5
Cake_version: 1.2.1.8004 |
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
I have been working on some form extensions (making pretty inputs for
social security numbers, phone numbers, zip codes, etc). Currently I have
to reimplement the input function in order to get my pretty inputs to have
the same behaviors as the Form Helper.
[[BR]][[BR]]
If the Form Helper were to call $this->{type} as the default behavior then
classes that extend FormHelper would not have to reimplement inputs.
These classes could just implement the new type function, and pass the
type to the standard input call to generate all of the wrappings. This
change maintains the current default behavior for cases where the type
method does not exist.

The code change would be:

From FormHelper input (line 797):
{{{
case 'textarea':
$out = $before . $out . $between . $this->textarea($fieldName,
array_merge(
array('cols' => '30', 'rows' => '6'), $options
));
break;
default:
if (method_exists($this, $type)) {
$out = $before . $out . $between .
$this->{$type}($fieldName, $options);
} else {
$out = $before . $out . $between .
$this->textarea($fieldName, array_merge(
array('cols' => '30', 'rows' => '6'), $options
));
}
break;
}}}
