I have a requirement to add an extra field on to the Role Creation form.
I was able to do by 2 ways
- Using Event Observer
- Or by rewriting blocks
But I want to save this field into the data base and want to populate this value on edit role page.
I tried -
$fieldset = $form->addFieldset('navigator_information', array(
'legend' => 'Navigator Information',
'class' => 'fieldset-wide'
)
);
$options = array();
$options['client'] = 'client';
$options['report'] = 'report';
//add new field
$fieldset->addField('navigator_role', 'select',
array(
'name' => 'navigator_role',
'label' => Mage::helper('adminhtml')->__('Navigator Roles'),
'id' => 'navigator_role',
'class' => 'required-entry',
'values' => $options,
'required' => true,
)
);
and it shows me the new fieldset and new field but How to store this value
into db?
Any help would be appreciated.
I have uploaded screen shot that shows new field

Code I have used to create the customer dropdown field:
$fieldset->addField('customer_id', 'select', array(
'label' => __('Customer'),
'name' => 'customer_id',
'title' => __('Customer'),
'values' => $this->getCustomerOptionArray()
));
protected function getCustomerOptionArray()
{
$options = array();
$options[] = array(
'value' => 0,

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' => $data,
'value' => array(3,5)
));
npn_CatID is the value in my db where the category id is saved.
I have tried to change the name and field ID but cant get it working.
When its the field id is like above ONE value is selected and its the last one inserted for the chosen employee
My data array looks likes
array(array('value' => '1', 'label' => 'USB'), array('value' => '2', 'label' => 'Memories'))
I'm creating a custom user settings page. I have one field: zip_code that get's it's initial value from a custom user field. I have a custom function that pulls external data using the value of the zip_code.
I currently have the default value of the field set to the custom user field (if it's available). This is working as designed; however, I want to give the user the ability to change their zip code via an Ajax callback. This would replace the already populated radio buttons with new ones. I can't seem to wrap my head around this. Here's my code:
function settings_shopping_form($form, &$form_state) {
include_once "external.inc";
// Get user fields
global $user;
$user_fields = user_load($user->uid);
$zipcode = $user_fields->zip_code['und']['0']['value'];
if(isset($zipcode)) {
$form['zip_code'] = array(
'#title' => t('Zip Code'),
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#required' => TRUE,
'#default_value' => $zipcode,
'#ajax' => array(
'callback' => 'settings_form_callback',
'wrapper' => 'textfields',
),
);
$storename = getmystorename($zipcode);
if(count($storename) > 0) {
$form['textfields'] = array(
'#prefix' => '<div id="textfields">',
'#suffix' => '</div>',
'#type' => 'fieldset' );
$form['textfields']['stores'] = array(
'#type' => 'radios',
'#title' => t('Choose your store:'),
'#options' => $storename,
'#default_value' => $storename[1], );
} else {
$form['textfields']['incorrect'] = array(
'#title' => t('Sorry, there are no stores available near you. Check back later'),
'#type' => 'fieldset', );
}
}
My callback function is very simple:
function settings_form_callback($form, $form_state) {
return $form['textfields'];
}
To reiterate: I want to add the ability to replace the populated radio buttons with new buttons generated by the getmystorename function when the zip_code field is changed.
I ended up taking an example from the examples module (love it!):
$defaults = !empty($form_state['values']['zip_code']) ? $form_state['values']['zip_code'] : $zipcode;
$storename = getmystorename($defaults);
I put this before the start of my form so that the values load before the form builder.
I have my module. This module has installation script where should be add custom image field to categories.
$setup->addAttribute('catalog_category', 'additional_image', array(
'type' => 'varchar',
'backend' => 'catalog/category_attribute_backend_image',
'label' => 'Additional Image',
'input' => 'image',
'global' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Eav_Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
'visible' => 1,
'required' => 0,
'user_defined' => 0,
'default' => '',
'position' => 6,
));
After that it must change captions other image fields (Image, Thumbnail). How I can get this system's fields and change their?
You can do this using Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup::updateAttribute() method.
This is a long way off but someone else may need the information.
Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup::updateAttribute()
has 5 arguments, 3 of which are necessary.
I am going to use the example of a custom customer attribute:
$entityTypeId = 'customer'
$id = 'my_custom_attribute_code'
$field = 'is_used_for_customer_segment'
$value = '1'
$sortOrder = Not Needed
So as you can see I am using the customer entity to update the attribute. I am updating my custom attribute with attribute id (code) my_custom_attribute_code. The field in this attribute that I am udpating is the is_used_for_customer_segment and setting the value to yes(1).
Here is an example of how to do this as an update.
$installer->startSetup();
$installer->updateAttribute('customer', 'my_custom_attribute_code', 'is_used_for_customer_segment', '1');
$installer->endSetup();
I'm using CakePHP 2.0 and I have a model that I use validation on it like this:
var $validate = array(
'title' => array(
'unique_rule'=>array(
'rule' => 'isUnique',
'on' => 'create',
'message' => 'This title has already been taken.'
),
'required_rule'=>array(
'required' => true,
'allowEmpty' => false,
'message' => 'The title field is required.'
)
)
);
, and in the controller I have an edit action and I use $model->save() to save date from $this->request->data, but it fails the isUnique validation rule, although it is not a new record insertion.
Is there any way to specify that it is an existing record, not a new one ?
If I got the question right you have to set the model's ID before calling $model->save(); so cakephp knows it's an update.
See http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/saving-your-data.html:
"Creating or updating is controlled by the model’s id field. If $Model->id is set, the record with this primary key is updated. Otherwise a new record is created:"
<?php
// Create: id isn't set or is null
$this->Recipe->create();
$this->Recipe->save($this->request->data);
// Update: id is set to a numerical value
$this->Recipe->id = 2;
$this->Recipe->save($this->request->data);
your validation array is wrong you haven't set a rule for 'required_rule' wich might trigger the isUnique error message.
var $validate = array(
'title' => array(
'unique_rule'=>array(
'rule' => 'isUnique',
'on' => 'create',
'message' => 'This title has already been taken.',
'last' => true
),
'required_rule'=>array(
'rule' => array('notEmpty'),
'message' => 'The title field is required.'
)
)
);
Also remember that using required=>true will NOT result check for actual data, it only wants the field to be present in the data-array and "" is also considered as present
