After an ajax need to load a field value and create a select_from_array with the range value - laravel

Iam trying and not finding a way to load the value from a field and generate a select_from_array based on its range.
For example:
I have 2 select box
Brand -> loads -> Model (using backpack field types, and its working good)
`'type' => 'select2_from_ajax',
'name' => 'camera_model_id',
'entity' => 'camera_model',
'attribute' => 'name',
'data_source' => url('camera-brands'),
'placeholder' => 'Selecione o Modelo',
'minimum_input_length' => 0,
'dependencies' => ['camera_brand_id'],`
But, after the user selects this last selectBox, I need that another field was modified
`'name' => 'channel',
'label' => "Canal da Câmera",
'type' => 'select2_from_array',
'options' => ['' => '',
'01' => '01',
'02' => '02', ...`
So, the options could be filled with the maximum of the field I registered in the Model field database.
Is it possible? or maybe another approach to achieve the solution?
Thanks in advance!

To have an input that depends on the value of another input, you can make both your fields select2_from_ajax.
That way:
you will have the value of all inputs in the controller (the controller that returns the ajax results; then you can return a filtered set of results depending on how the form is filled so far - CategoryController::index() in the documentation example);
you can use the "dependencies" attribute on the selec2_from_ajax fields, so that when one field is reset, both are;
I hope the answer helps someone. Cheers!

Two fields overwriting each others values on saving in Backpack for Laravel CRUD (spatie/laravel-tags implementation issues)?

I am trying to use spatie/laravel-tags together with Backpack for Laravel. I have 2 types of tags defined. Currently I have extended the Tag model from spatie/laravel-tags as MyCategory and MyTag and added global scopes to separate the two tag types. This works to the extent that it will display the current categories and tags correctly in Backpack, but when I try to save any changes it will only save the entries in the last field, and delete everything in the first field.
Here is my current field configuration for my CRUD:
$this->crud->addField([
'name' => 'categories',
'label' => 'Categories',
'type' => 'select2_multiple',
'tab' => 'Overview',
'attribute' => 'name',
'model' => 'App\MyCategory',
'pivot' => true,
]);
$this->crud->addField([
'name' => 'tags',
'label' => 'Tags',
'type' => 'select2_multiple',
'tab' => 'Overview',
'attribute' => 'name',
'model' => 'App\MyTag',
'pivot' => true,
]);
When I check Laravel Telescope I see that the same thing happens for both fields. First all current tags (regardless of type) for the item I am saving are deleted, and the new tags from the field are added. This is then repeated for the second field, which of course deletes the tags from the first field that should also be kept.
It seems that GlobalScope on my extended Tag models does not stick around for this part. Is there any way to reintroduce the scopes into the queries run by backpack to get these tags to save correctly?
In my CrudController I created custom update and store functions. See the update example below. This seems to work fine. There are still 2 queries being run, with the second one undoing the first one, but for my purposes this is a good enough workaround to be able to have 2 fields with different tag types in the same form in Backpack, using spatie/laravel-tags.
public function update(UpdateRequest $request)
{
$request = request();
// Merge the values from the two tag fields together into the second field
$request->merge(['tags' => array_merge((array)$request->input('categories'), (array)$request->input('tags'))]);
$redirect_location = $this->traitUpdate($request);
return $redirect_location;
}

Yii filter condition

In my admin.php, I have a table and one of the columns is Status which gives only 2 options, Open or Close.
The below is in my admin.php
array(
'name' => 'complete',
'header'=>'Status',
'value' => '($data->complete == 0) ? Yii::t(\'app\', \'Open\') : Yii::t(\'app\', \'Close\')',
'filter' => array('0' => Yii::t('app', 'Open'), '1' => Yii::t('app', 'Close')),
),
I want it to show only the Open condition instead of everything. What can I add into the code?
If you want to show by default only the rows that are still open (not completed), you can simply go to the controller in the admin action and add:
$model->complete=0;
That should be placed just after defining the model and before assigning attributes from $_GET, so it can be overwritten if user choses other option.

Create custom validation for form entity

I am using the form builder to create an choice-field form an entity looking like this:
$form->add(
'existing_items','entity', array(
'label' => 'Artikel aus',
'class' => 'ProjectShoppinglistBundle:Item',
'empty_value' => 'Bitte einen Artikel auswählen',
'property' => 'name',
'query_builder' => function(EntityRepository $er) use ($options) {
return $er->createQueryBuilder('item')
->leftJoin('item.userItems', 'userItem')
->where('userItem.user = ' . $options['attr']['id'])
->orderBy('item.name', 'ASC');
},
'attr' => array(
'class' => 'form-control',
),
));
but I am using jquery to change the content of the dropdown, so I need to change the validation for the field, how can I achieve that the values in the form are valid for all elements in the items-table and not just the one's which are linked to my the userId used in the query?
This is necessary for my approach because I have a second dropdown where the user can define if he wants to see the items on his own list, of other lists or all items
I have already taken a look at this but I still don't really get it how I can use the eventListener to get the desired result.
If someone could give me a useful hint, I would appreciate this very much.

Magento Admin formfield multiselect selected

I´m currently developing a custom module for magento thats going to list employees.
I have figured out almost everything. The only thing I got left is how the selected values is going to be highlighted.
The problem I´m having is for the backend.
I got 2 tabs per employee, one for employee data and one tab for magento categories.
1 employee can have 1 or more categories.
The database table that the categories are stored in are a non-eav table.
So my question is
What in a multiselect determines which values are selected? As it is now, only one value is selected.
I think you can do this by simply passing in an array of the id's to be selected into the 'value' attribute of the field being added for the multiselect in the _prepareForm() method. Something like the following.
$fieldset->addField('category_id', 'multiselect', array(
'name' => 'categories[]',
'label' => Mage::helper('cms')->__('Store View'),
'title' => Mage::helper('cms')->__('Store View'),
'required' => true,
'values' => Mage::getSingleton('mymodule/mymodel')->getMymodelValuesForForm(),
'value' => array(1,7,10),
));
The id of the form element (e.g. category_id) must not be an attribute in your model, otherwise when the form values get set with $form->setValues() later on, the attribute value will be overwritten.
I normally store multiple selections as a text column separated by commas much like most magento modules handles stores which requires a slightly different approach as shown below.
In the form block for the tab with the multiselect, you firstly define the element to be displayed like so in the _prepareForm() method. You then get the values from the model and set put them into the form data.
protected function _prepareForm()
{
...
$fieldset->addField('store_id', 'multiselect', array(
'name' => 'stores[]',
'label' => Mage::helper('cms')->__('Store View'),
'title' => Mage::helper('cms')->__('Store View'),
'required' => true,
'values' => Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/system_store')->getStoreValuesForForm(false, true),
));
...
if ( Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->getMymodelData() )
{
$data = Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session')->getMymodelData();
} elseif ( Mage::registry('mymodel_data') ) {
$data = Mage::registry('mymodel_data')->getData();
}
$data['store_id'] = isset($data['stores']) ? explode(',', $data['stores']) : array();
$form->setValues($data);
}
I normally store the selected stores (categories as in your case) in the main model as a text column and comma separated values of ids, hence the explode.
In the controller for for the edit action, I put the model being edited into the mage registry so we can load it and it's values in the step above.
Mage::register('mymodel_data', $model);
Thanks for answering.
This is how my field looks like:
$fieldset->addField('npn_CatID', 'multiselect', array(
'label' => Mage::helper('employeelist')->__('Kategori'),
'class' => 'required-entry',
'required' => true,
'name' => 'npn_CatID',
'values' => $data,
'value' => array(3,5)
));
npn_CatID is the value in my db where the category id is saved.
I have tried to change the name and field ID but cant get it working.
When its the field id is like above ONE value is selected and its the last one inserted for the chosen employee
My data array looks likes
array(array('value' => '1', 'label' => 'USB'), array('value' => '2', 'label' => 'Memories'))

Yii CGridview - search/sort works, but values aren't being displayed on respective cells

I am semi-frustrated with this Yii CGridView problem and any help or guidance would be highly appreciated.
I have two related tables shops (shop_id primary) and contacts (shop_id foreign) such that a single shop may have multiple contacts. I'm using CGridview for pulling records and sorting and my relation function in shops model is something like:
'shopscontact' => array(self::HAS_MANY, 'Shopsmodel', 'shop_id');
On the shop grid, I need to display the shop row with any one of the available contacts. My attempt to filter, search the Grid has worked pretty fine, but I'm stuck in one very strange problem. The respective grid column does not display the value that is intended.
On CGridview file, I'm doing something like
array(
'name' => 'shopscontact.contact_firstname',
'header' => 'First Name',
'value' => '$data->shopscontact->contact_firstname'
),
to display the contact's first name. However, even under circumstances that searching/sorting are both working (I found out by checking the db associations), the grid column comes out empty! :( And when I do a var_dump
array(
'name' => 'shopscontact.contact_firstname',
'header' => 'First Name',
'value' => 'var_dump($data->shopscontact)'
),
The dump shows record values in _private attributes as follows:
private '_attributes' (CActiveRecord) =>
array
'contact_firstname' => string 'rec1' (length=4)
'contact_lastname' => string 'rec1 lsname' (length=11)
'contact_id' => string '1' (length=1)
< Edit: >
My criteria code in the model is as follows:
$criteria->with = array(
'owner',
'states',
'shopscontacts' => array(
'alias' => 'shopscontacts',
'select' => 'shopscontacts.contact_firstname,shopscontacts.contact_lastname',
'together' => true
)
);
< / Edit >
How do I access the values in their respective columns? Please help! :(
Hmm, I have not used the with() and together() methods much. What's interesting is how in the 'value' part of the column, $data->shopscontacts loads up the relation fresh, based on the relations() definition (and is not based on the criteria you declared).
A cleaner way to handle the array output might be like this:
'value' => 'array_shift($data->shopscontacts)->contact_lastname'
Perhaps a better way to do this, though, would be to set up a new (additional) relation, like this in your shops model:
public function relations()
{
return array(
'shopscontacts' => array(self::HAS_MANY, 'Shopsmodel', 'shop_id'), // original
'firstShopscontact' => array(self::HAS_ONE, 'Shopsmodel', 'shop_id'), // the new relation
);
}
Then, in your CGridView you can just set up a column like so:
'columns'=>array(
'firstShopscontact.contact_lastname',
),
Cheers
Since 'shopscontact' is the name of the has-many relation, $data->shopscontact should be returning an array with all the shops related... did you modify the relation in order to return only one record (if I didn't get you wrong, you only need to display one, right?)? If you did it, may I see your filtering code?
P.S. A hunch to get a fast but temporal solution: have you tried 'value' => '$data->shopscontact['contact_firstname']'?
