I have form in yii that validates the form field. When I submit the form it shows the errors.
But when the value of the field with the validation error is updated, the error still present.
I want the message to clear. How should i clear the validation error?
Below the form widget code
<?php $form = $this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'user-form',
'enableAjaxValidation'=>true
)); ?>
In my form I echo the validation error like the code below:
<?php echo $form->error($model, 'firstname'); ?>
I tried the solution from this problem
Trigger Yii field validation onchange of another field
$('#user-form').change(function(){
var settings = $(this).data('settings');
$.each(settings.attributes, function () {
this.status = 2; // force ajax validation
});
$(this).data('settings', settings);
// trigger ajax validation
$.fn.yiiactiveform.validate($(this), function (data) {
$.each(settings.attributes, function () {
$.fn.yiiactiveform.updateInput(this, data, $(this));
});
});
});
But the error message is still not cleared. I have confirmed that the ajax request is sent and there are response as its showed on the firebug console.
[EDIT]
It seems those validation errors for "select" fields are the ones that are not updated/cleared only.
[EDIT]
All the validation errors that are printed/echo after the form is submmitted will not disappear even if the value is supplied or change to satisfy the validation rules.
Place this just above the // trigger ajax validation comment:
$('.errorSummary, .errorMessage').hide();
This should reset the errors before they get re-validated.
In my case I added the code below on the page to remove the red highlight on input field on the form.
$('#user-form select, #user-form input').change(function(){
field = $(this).attr('id');
if($('#'+field+'_em').text() == ''){
$(this).removeClass('error');
}
});
I also add the updateInput function on framework/web/js/source/jquery.yiiactiveform.js so it will remove the validation error for certain field.
if(hasError == false){
$error.toggle(hasError);
$el2 = form.find('#' + attribute.id);
$el2.removeClass(attribute.errorCssClass);
}
I am not sure if this the proper solution but it works for me.
With your form widget code, i don't think ajax validation won't work.
To enable Ajax validation on form you should configure your widget as below,
<?php
$form = $this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'user-form',
'enableAjaxValidation' => true,
'clientOptions' => array(
'validateOnSubmit' => true,
),
));
?>
With this configuration, your form will be validated when form field lost the focus(blur).
Try it, It will give the solution for your problem.

I have a problem repopulating my form after validation fails. Problem is my url contains an additional uri which I access by clicking a link. This is what it looks like:
http://www.example.com/admin/trivia/add/5
At first trouble was that the segment 4 of the uri completely disappeared, so even though the validation errors showed and the form was repopulated, I lost my added uri.
Then I found in another question that the solution was to set form open like this:
echo form_open(current_url());
Problem is now it isn't showing any validation errors and the form is not repopulated. Is there a way to achieve this?
This is what my controller looks like:
function add()
{
$data = array('id' => $this->uri->segment(4));
if($_POST)
{
$this->_processForm();
}
$this->load->view('admin/trivia_form', $data);
}
And inside _processForm() I got all the validation rules, error message and redirecting in case success.
[edit] Here is my _processForm() :
function _processForm()
{
$this->load->library('form_validation');
//validation rules go here
//validation error messages
$this->form_validation->set_rules($rules);
$this->form_validation->set_error_delimiters('<div style="color:red">', '</div>');
if ($this->form_validation->run())
{
//get input from form and assign it to array
//save data in DB with model
if($this->madmin->save_trivia($fields))
{
//if save is correct, then redirect
}
else
{
//if not show errors, no redirecting.
}
}//end if validation
}
To keep the same url, you can do all things in a same controller function.
In your controller
function add($id)
{
if($this->input->server('REQUEST_METHOD') === 'POST')// form submitted
{
// do form action code
// redirect if success
}
// do your actual stuff to load. you may get validation error in view file as usual if validation failed
}
to repopulate the form fields you are going to need to reset the field values when submitting it as exampled here and to meke it open the same page you can use redirect() function as bellow:
redirect('trivia/add/5','refresh');
i don't know what you are trying to do, but try this to repopulate the form with the values user entered
<?php
echo form_input('myfield',set_value('myfield'),'placeholder="xyz"');
?>
I have a Yii form which calls a render partial from another model (team has_many team_members). I want to call via ajax a partial view to add members in team/_form. All works (call, show, save) except for ajax validations (server and client side). If i submit form, member's model isn't validating, even in client side, it's not validating the required fields.
Any clue?
//_form
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'team-form',
'enableAjaxValidation'=>true,
'enableClientValidation'=>true,
'clientOptions'=>array(
'validateOnSubmit'=>true,
'validateOnChange'=>true
),
'htmlOptions' => array('enctype' => 'multipart/form-data'),
)); ?>
//Controller
public function actionMember($index)
{
$model = new TeamMember();
$this->renderPartial('_member',array(
'model'=> $model, 'index'=> $index
)
,false,true
);
}
public function actionCreate()
{
$model=new Team;
$members = array();
if(isset($_POST['Team']))
{
$model->attributes=$_POST['Team'];
if(!empty($_POST['TeamMember'])){
foreach($_POST['TeamMember'] as $team_member)
{
$mem = new TeamMember();
$mem->setAttribute($team_member);
if($mem->validate(array('name'))) $members[]=$mem;
}
}
$this->redirect(array('team/create','id'=>$model->id,'#'=>'submit-message'));
}
$members[]=new TeamMember;
$this->performAjaxMemberValidation($members);
$this->render('create',array(
'model'=>$model,'members'=>$members
));
}
//_member
<div class="row-member<?php echo $index; ?>">
<h3>Member <?php echo $index+1; ?></h3>
<div class="row">
<?php echo CHtml::activeLabel($model, "[$index]name",array('class'=>'member')); ?>
<?php echo CHtml::activeTextField($model, "[$index]name",array('class'=>'member')); ?>
<?php echo CHtml::error($model, "[$index]name");?>
</div>
</div>
ProcessOutput was set to true. No dice.
Switch renderPartial() to render(). No dice.
If you will look at the CActiveForm::run:
$cs->registerCoreScript('yiiactiveform');
//...
$cs->registerScript(__CLASS__.'#'.$id,"jQuery('#$id').yiiactiveform($options);");
Then you will understand that you validation will not work, because you render partial and not the whole page. And these scripts show up at the bottom of the page. So you should solve this by execute these scripts.
After you partial is rendered, try to get activeform script which should be stored at the scipts array:
$this->renderPartial('_member',array('model'=> $model, 'index'=> $index));
$script = Yii::app()->clientScript->scripts[CClientScript::POS_READY]['CActiveForm#team-form'];
after, send it with rendered html to page:
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>$script</script>"
Also remember before you will append recieved html on the page you should include jquery.yiiactiveform.js, if you not already did it(by render another form, or registerCoreScript('yiiactiveform')), on the page from calling ajax request. Otherwise javascript error will raised.
Hope this will help.
Edit:
Sorry I'm not understood that you are render part of form and not the whole. But you validation will not work exactly with the same issue. Because jQuery('#$id').yiiactiveform($options); script was not created for the field.
The actual problem is that the ActiveForm saves its attributes to be validated in the "settings" data attribute. I see you are already using indexes so what you need to add the new elements to this settings object in order for the validation to work. After the ajax response this is what must be done:
//Get the settings object from the form
var settings = $("#form").data('settings');
//Get all the newly inserted elements via jquery
$("[name^='YourModel']", data).each(function(k, v) {
//base attribute skeleton
var base = {
model : 'YourModel',
enableAjaxValidation : true,
errorCssClass : 'error',
status : 1,
hideErrorMessage : false,
};
var newRow = $.extend({
id : $(v).attr('id'),
inputID : $(v).attr('id'),
errorID : $(v).attr('id') + '_em_',
name : $(v).attr('name'),
}, base);
//push it to the settings.attribute object
settings.attributes.push(newRow);
});
//update the form
$("#form").data('settings', settings);
```
This way the ActiveForm will be aware of the new fields and will validate them.
Well, setting processOutput to true in renderPartial (in order to make client validation works on newly added fields) will not help in this case since it will only work for CActiveForm form and you don't have any form in your _member view (only input fields).
A simple way to deal with this kind of problem could be to use only ajax validation, and use CActiveForm::validateTabular() in your controller to validate your team members.
The fields I am making required to fill out, should repopulate the correctly filled out fields, while NOT submitting the form and posing errors for the incorrectly filled out fields. What is the best way to do that?
Please note that with this code, I am repopulating the fields as they should be upon submitting the form correctly and they are all displaying when page is reloaded.
<div class="dropdown_structure">
<?php
if($user['location'] == "empty")
{
echo country_dropdown('location');
}
else
{
echo country_dropdown('location',$user['location']);
}
?>
</div>
Also please note that I've tried inserting the value in the input fields.
$data = array( 'name' => 'location', 'value' => $this->input->post('location'));
echo relation_dropdown('location');
Thanks in advance
Hi if you are using the following country dropdown helper you can set value validation in following way
Country dropdown helper
country_dropdown('location',array(),set_value('location'))
even in your second dropdown use set_value('field_name') will work. if validation is failed your selected value will be remain.
In the Yii blog demo, included in the framework download and here:
http://www.yiiframework.com/demos/blog/
ajax validation for form inputs work for the post comment and login forms...
demos\blog\protected\views\comment_form.php
and
demos\blog\protected\views\login.php
both include things like
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'comment-form',
'enableAjaxValidation'=>true,
)); ?>
or
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'login-form',
'enableAjaxValidation'=>true,
)); ?>
I tried adding similar things to views/site/contact.php and views/post/_form.php ('id'=>'contact-form', and 'post-form') but it isn't working (tabbing out of form fields doesn't result in red or green fields depending on if the input is valid or invalid and there are no ajax generated invalid messages either)
Ajax validation consists of 3 phases:
Send an ajax request to server with form fields' values to validate them.
Validate fields and return validation message from server.
Update form fields with the validation messages.
When you set enableAjaxValidation to true, you are taking care of the phase 1 & 3, so there is still phase 2 left.
Phase 2.
By default ajax validation triggers POST ajax calls, with an additional1 'ajax' post parameter, whose value is set to the id of the form being validated. In your case it should be something like: ajax --> contact-form, and ajax --> post-form.
So what you have to do is catch this POST request in your server-side, and send a response after validating the fields which were sent in the request.
The POST request is sent to the form's action url (by default), which in your case will be something like: http://foo/index.php/site/contact, which means you have to change your controllers/SiteController.php's actionContact function:
public function actionContact(){
$model = new ContactForm;
// checking if it is ajax validation request below
if(isset($_POST['ajax']) && $_POST['ajax']==='contact-form') {
echo CActiveForm::validate($model); // validate the form fields sent in POST, and return response
Yii::app()->end(); // end the application
}
// ... leave the rest of the code as is ...
}
In the blog demo's views/site/contact.php there are no error fields so you will not be able to see the messages just yet. To see them add the error fields to the form:
<div class="row">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'name'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'name'); ?>
<?php echo $form->error($model,'name'); // this line needs to be added ?>
</div>
Add the error fields similarly for the other inputs.
For the post/_form.php make similar adjustments (from 1st code snippet) to the controllers/PostController.php's actionCreate and actionUpdate methods. Just that your if check will change to:
if(isset($_POST['ajax']) && $_POST['ajax']==='post-form')
Extra Info.
The ajax POST parameter is called the ajaxVar, and it defaults to ajax. You can change a lot of these defaults, like the validation url (action or validationUrl of clientOptions), or the ajaxVar ($_POST['ajax']) of clientOptions. Read the documentation to see the options.
1 In addition to the form's fields.
I am using cakephp and pippoacl plugin and I simply cannot add a new role. What I modify in the plugin is to make the submit using ajax, something like this in my view (add.ctp):
<?php echo $ajax->submit(
'submit',
array(
'url' => array('controller' => 'roles', 'action' => 'add'),
'before' => 'beforeSubmitAdd();',
'complete' => 'completeSubmitAdd(request);'
)
);
?>
When the add.ctp gets loaded for the first time, I can print_r something from the controller. But the ajax submit above only executes the javascript on 'before' and 'complete'. I check on the firebug, the response is blank.
On my controller:
function add() {
print_r("start");
if (!empty($this->data)) {
print_r("add new role");
// save new role
}
}
I use ajax submit for user and I don't have any problem adding new user. Is there any idea where I should check? I have been comparing the user and role code for a week and I have asked a friend to look at my code, too, but we still cannot find what causes this.
Thanks in advance! :D
I am not so familiar with the Ajax helper, but I haven't using it from so long that I can't remember what is it doing :).
Back to the problem.
Did you check if the requested URL in the Ajax address is correct? This should work straightforward, but it's possible that the url to be invalid.
Are you using Security component (even just adding it on the var $components variable)?. This could lead to blank screen especially if you modifying the fields in the form somehow. Try to remove it and see if it's working without.
Finally I would say how I would do it with jQuery.
Following code should do the job:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('form').live('submit', function(){ //handles also dynamically loaded forms
var form = $(this).addClass('loading'); //indicate somehow that the form has been submitted
$('#content').load($(this).attr('action'), $(this).serialize(), function(){
form.removeClass('loading');
});
})
});
This will handle all submits in the forms of the system, but you can modify of course.
