I'm writing a custom Magento module for my store and I'm facing a weird issue with a fieldset in one form. The form is assigned to a tab, however the fieldset starts from the top of container, not from just below buttons area. Please see the image attached
I want it to display like:
This module is being developed on Magento 1.9.0.1 without any modification whatsoever, just the demo data.
Below is the code for all the classes:
Controller:
added form container and tabs to left column
class Koala_Socialmanager_Adminhtml_TwitterController extends Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action {
public function directTweetAction(){
$this->loadLayout();
$this->_addContent($this->getLayout()->createBlock('koala_socialmanager/twitter_directTweet_tweet','directTweet'))
->_addLeft($this->getLayout()->createBlock('koala_socialmanager/twitter_directTweet_edit_tabs'));
$this->renderLayout();
Form container:
class Koala_Socialmanager_Block_Twitter_DirectTweet_Tweet extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Form_Container {
public function __construct()
{
$this->_blockGroup = 'koala_socialmanager';
$this->_controller = 'twitter_directTweet';
$this->_headerText = Mage::helper('koala_socialmanager')->__('Direct Tweets');
parent::__construct();
$this->_updateButton('save', 'label', Mage::helper('adminhtml')->__('Tweet Now!'));
}
}
Tabs:
class Koala_Socialmanager_Block_Twitter_DirectTweet_Edit_Tabs extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Tabs{
public function __construct(){
parent::__construct();
$this->setId('tweetTabs');
$this->setDestinationElementId('edit_form');
$this->setTitle(Mage::helper('koala_socialmanager')->__('Twitter'));
}
public function _beforeToHtml(){
$this->addTab('form_section_form',array(
'label' => Mage::helper('koala_socialmanager')->__("Tweet"),
'title' => Mage::helper('koala_socialmanager')->__("Tweet"),
'content' => $this->getLayout()->createBlock('koala_socialmanager/twitter_directTweet_edit_tabs_form')->initForm()->toHtml(),
'active' => true
));
$this->addTab('form_section_external_media',array(
'label' => Mage::helper('koala_socialmanager')->__("External Media"),
'title' => Mage::helper('koala_socialmanager')->__("External Media"),
'content' => $this->getLayout()->createBlock('koala_socialmanager/twitter_directTweet_edit_tabs_externalMedia')->initForm()->toHtml()
));
$this->addTab('form_section_magento_media',array(
'label' => Mage::helper('koala_socialmanager')->__("Magento Product Media"),
'title' => Mage::helper('koala_socialmanager')->__("Magento Product Media"),
'content' => $this->getLayout()->createBlock('koala_socialmanager/twitter_directTweet_edit_tabs_magentoProductMedia')->toHtml()
));
return parent::_beforeToHtml();
}
}
And form with fieldset:
class Koala_Socialmanager_Block_Twitter_DirectTweet_Edit_Tabs_Form extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Form {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
public function initForm(){
$form = new Varien_Data_Form();
$this->setForm($form);
$form->setHtmlIdPrefix('socialmanager');
$helper = Mage::helper('koala_socialmanager');
$fieldset = $form->addFieldset('base_fieldset', array(
'legend' => Mage::helper('koala_socialmanager')->__('Tweeter Message')
));
$fieldset->addField('statusUpdate', 'textarea', array(
'name'=>'tweet',
'label'=>$helper->__("Tweet this Message:"),
'after_element_html'=>'<div class="characterCounter">0</div>'
));
Mage::helper('koala_socialmanager')->getTwitterFormScript();
return $this;
I believe I'm missing something silly. Any help appreciated.
Cheers

I've solved the problem, still don't know the cause though. I simply rewritten everything to another folder changing the class names, created another action in controller called testAction, so all files from DirectTweet folder are located in Message folder, and guess what? when you display that form from testActoin it works as it should, when I display the old form from DirectTweet folder - fieldset is broken.
I have magento cache disabled all the time, I cleared all tmp, cache, session folders, cleared browser cache and had no luck with fixing it, so I'm wondering why the new "version" works even though there is no changes to the code apart from cosmetic ones (removing empty lines, or changed text for labels/headers).
For the last 20 minutes I was comparing file by file in phpstorm, and seriously no differences apart from class names and texts to output.... I'm to tired to think about it anymore.
Below desired output :)
Happy New Year

sorry if this has been asked before, I looked around but haven't found this specific question on StackOverFlow.com.
I have a view called 'view-post-wall' which I'm trying to add the form that submits posts to this view called 'post' via ajax submit, though I haven't begun adding ajax yet.
My module's name is 'friendicate'
I don't understand what I'm missing here, I'm following a tutorial and have been unable to get past this issue for 2 days now.
I don't get any errors either.
Here is the module code in full
function _form_post_ajax_add() {
$form = array();
$form['title'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#title' => 'Title of post',
);
$form['body'] = array(
'#type' => 'textarea',
'#title' => 'description',
);
$form['submit'] = array(
'#type' => 'submit',
'#value' => 'Submit post',
);
return $form;
}
function post_ajax_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
//krumo($variables);
$arg = arg();
if($arg[0] == 'view-post-wall') {
$variables['page']['content']['system_main']['main']['#markup'] = drupal_render(drupal_get_form('_form_post_ajax_add'));
}
}
There are multiple ways to accomplish this, and I'll outline those methods below. Also, if nothing works from my suggestions below, it's possible that you have an invalid form function name. Im not sure if that throws off Drupal or not. The correct format for the function name should end in _form and contain the arguments $form and $form_state, like so:
_form_post_ajax_add_form($form, &$form_state) { ... }
Also, if you want to use a hook, Steff mentioned in a comment to your question that you'll need to use your module name in the function name.
friendicate_preprocess_page(&$variables) { ... }
Ok, now for a few ideas how to get the form on the page.
Block
You can create a custom block within your module, and then assign it to a region in admin/structure/blocks
<?php
/**
* Implements hook_block_info().
*/
function friendicate_block_info() {
$blocks = array();
$blocks['post_ajax'] = array(
'info' => t('Translation Set Links'),
'cache' => DRUPAL_NO_CACHE,
);
return $blocks;
}
/**
* Implements hook_block_view().
*/
function friendicate_block_view($delta = '') {
$block = array();
if ($delta == 'post_ajax') {
$form = drupal_get_form('_form_post_ajax_add_form');
$block['content'] = $form;
}
return $block;
}
Clear the cache and your block should appear in admin/structure/blocks
Views attachment before/after
You can add markup before and after a view using the Views hook hook_views_pre_render()
<?php
/**
* Implements hook_view_pre_render().
*/
function frendicate_views_pre_render(&$view) {
if($view->name == 'view_post_wall') { // the machine name of your view
$form = drupal_get_form('_form_post_ajax_add_form');
$view->attachment_before = render($form);
}
}
Or maybe use view post render
function friendicate_views_post_render(&$view, &$output, &$cache) {
//use the machine name of your view
if ($view->name == 'view_post_wall') {
$output .= drupal_render(drupal_get_form('_form_post_ajax_add'));
}
}
I want to update an existing form in Magento backend. Because I don't want to touch the original extension I copied the file and rewrote the class:
class Bleedo_xta_Block_Adminhtml_xta_Edit_Tab_information extends Hedox_xta_Block_Adminhtml_xta_Edit_Tab_information {
protected function _prepareForm() {
parent::_prepareForm();
$form = $this->getForm();
This works (if you found this article via Google, don't forget to insert this rewrite in your config.xml)
If I want to add a new field to this form you can easily do this by
$options = $form->getElement('options_form');
$options->addField('new_cost', 'text', array(
'name' => 'new_cost',
'label' => $this->__('New Cost'),
));
But how can I update an existing field? The problem is that I want to set an already existing field to "required". But if I'm using addField I get an error.
Thank you so much!
/* #var $elm Varien_Data_Form_Element_Text */
$elm = $this->getForm()->getElement('new_cost');
$elm->setData('required',1);
I am adding some extra html to some input attributes in the category edit area by creating a new attribute input renderer type in my modules mysql install script:
$installer->addAttribute(
'catalog_category',
'mymodule_category_popularity',
array(
'label' => 'My Label',
'group' => 'My Group',
'type' => 'int',
'class' => 'validate-number',
'required' => false,
'default' => 50,
'input_renderer' => 'mymodule/adminhtml_catalog_category_widget_slider',
)
);
And the renderer:
class Mynamespace_Mymodule_Block_Adminhtml_Catalog_Category_Widget_Slider extends Varien_Data_Form_Element_Text
{
public function getAfterElementHtml()
{
$html = parent::getAfterElementHtml();
return $html." <div id=\"slider\"></div>";
}
}
And the javascript:
var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
$j(document).ready(function(){
$j( "#slider" ).slider();
});
This works fine, the plugins get loaded correctly and so does jQuery (as I have loaded it using my layout xml for the module). I see a slider. However, after the page has completely finished (the Magento ajax has re-loaded the category edit tabs) my slider dissapears. This, I assume, is because the javascript code is not getting ran again.
I have tried adding my javascript to the core edit.phtml (as there is other Magento JS there) however I just get an error: $j('#slider).slider() is not a function. This is because the content is getting loaded via ajax.
So, how do I make sure that I can use $j('#slider).slider() in the category edit area? Confusing I know.
I accomplished this by creating a javascript function:
function loadedInput() {
$('#slider').slider();
}
And calling that function in the attribute renderer:
class Mynamespace_Mymodule_Block_Adminhtml_Catalog_Category_Widget_Slider extends Varien_Data_Form_Element_Text
{
public function getAfterElementHtml()
{
$html = parent::getAfterElementHtml();
return $html." <div id=\"slider\"></div><script>loadedInput();</script>";
}
}
I am working Magento community edition 1.7 version.
I have a grid in admin panel.
Now when I click on this URL it open a form with two tabs in left sidebar.
When I click on second tab it show a grid in its right side.
Then I click on a row of this grid it opens a form on another page.
In this form there is back button.
How can I change its URL to previous page?
Add your custom back button and remove default one in your Form Container class constructor.
$data = array(
'label' => 'Back',
'onclick' => 'setLocation(\'' . $this->getUrl('*/*/*') . '\')',
'class' => 'back'
);
$this->addButton ('my_back', $data, 0, 100, 'header');
...
parent::__construct();
...
$this->_removeButton('back');
Just need to override getBackUrl function:
class [Namespace]_[Module]_Block_Adminhtml_[CustomBlock] extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Form_Container
{
/** code **/
public function getBackUrl()
{
parent::getBackUrl();
return $this->getUrl('[New URL]');
}
/** code **/
}
Note: Tested in Magento ver. 1.9.1.0
simply override the default back button:
parent::__construct();
$data = array(
'label' => 'Back',
'onclick' => 'setLocation(\'' . $this->getUrl('*/*/*') . '\')',
'class' => 'back'
);
$this->addButton ('back', $data, 0, 100, 'header');
Notice the placement of parrent::__construct();
Here is simplest way to change url of back button.
protected function _construct()
{
$this->_objectId = 'row_id';
$this->_blockGroup = 'Namespace_Modulename';
$this->_controller = 'adminhtml_grid';
parent::_construct();
if ($this->_isAllowedAction('Namespace_Modulename::add_row')) {
$this->buttonList->update('save', 'label', __('Save'));
} else {
$this->buttonList->remove('save');
}
/**
* Below line to change your back url of grid
*/
$this->buttonList->update('back', 'onclick', 'setLocation(\'' . $this->getUrl('*/*/index') . '\')');
}
Hi
I am following the getting started guide for Codeigniterr given at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-codeigniter/
I have followed the instruction to create the front view and added controller to handle form submission. Ideally, when i submit the form, it should load the model class and execute the function to put details on the database, but instead it is just printing out the code of the model in the browser.
**Code of view (Welcome.php)**
----------------
<?php
class Welcome extends Controller {
function Welcome()
{
parent::Controller();
}
function index()
{
$this->load->helper('form');
$data['title'] = "Welcome to our Site";
$data['headline'] = "Welcome!";
$data['include'] = 'home';
$this->load->vars($data);
$this->load->view('template');
}
function contactus(){
$this->load->helper('url');
$this->load->model('mcontacts','',TRUE);
$this->mcontacts->addContact();
redirect('welcome/thankyou','refresh');
}
function thankyou(){
$data['title'] = "Thank You!";
$data['headline'] = "Thanks!";
$data['include'] = 'thanks';
$this->load->vars($data);
$this->load->view('template');
}
}
/* End of file welcome.php */
/* Location: ./system/application/controllers/welcome.php */
**Code of Model**
--------------
class mcontacts extends Model{
function mcontacts(){
parent::Model();
}
}
function addContact(){
$now = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$data = array(
'name' => $this->input->xss_clean($this->input->post('name')),
'email' => $this->input->xss_clean($this->input->post('email')),
'notes' => $this->input->xss_clean($this->input->post('notes')),
'ipaddress' => $this->input->ip_address(),
'stamp' => $now
);
$this->db->insert('contacts', $data);
}
**OUTPUT after clicking submit**
-----------------------------
class mcontacts extends Model{ function mcontacts(){ parent::Model(); } } function addContact(){ $now = date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); $data = array( 'name' => $this->input->xss_clean($this->input->post('name')), 'email' => $this->input->xss_clean($this->input->post('email')), 'notes' => $this->input->xss_clean($this->input->post('notes')), 'ipaddress' => $this->input->ip_address(), 'stamp' => $now ); $this->db->insert('contacts', $data); }
I have tried doing these things
1. Making all PHP codes executable
2. Change ownership of files to www-data
3. make permission 777 for whole of www
But, the code of model seems to be just printed ... PLEASE HELP
Just a few minor points that might help you:
In your controller, point the index method at the method you would like to call on that page. For example:
function index()
{
$this->welcome();
}
That will help keep things clean and clear, especially if anyone else comes in to work on the code with you later. I chose welcome because that's the name of your controller class and that will keep things simple.
In your model, this:
class mcontacts extends Model{
Should be:
class Mcontacts extends Model{
Capitalize those class names! That could be giving you the trouble you describe.
See here for more info on this: http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/models.html
Don't use camel case in your class or method names. This isn't something that will cause your code to fail, but it's generally accepted practice. See Codeigniter's PHP Style guide for more information on this: http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/styleguide.html
It's difficult to see with the formatting as it is, but do have an extra curly brace after the constructor method (mcontacts()) in the model? This would cause problems! Also although the code looks generally ok, there are probably better ways to use the framework especially if you do anything more complicated than what you've shown. For example, autoloading, form validation etc. Can I suggest you have a read of the userguide? It's very thorough and clear and should help you alot. http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/index.html
