I ran into a small problem what i cant figure out.
I would liked to use the captcha helper without database but nothing seems to be working.
in the construct i created a variable which generates a random string
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->rand = random_string('numeric', 4);
}
passed this variable to the captcha values like this:
$vals = array(
'word' => $this->rand,
'img_path' => './captcha/',
'img_url' => base_url() . 'captcha/',
'font_path' => './system/fonts/texb.ttf',
'img_width' => '150',
'img_height' => 30,
'expiration' => 7200
);
$cap = create_captcha($vals);
and wanted to validate it with a callback function like this
function captcha_check()
{
if($this->input->post('code') != $this->rand)
{
$this->form_validation->set_message('captcha_check', 'Wrong captcha code, hmm are you the Terminator?');
return false;
}
}
And nothing works, the problem is, captcha code is show with the image, the problem is the validation, if i type in the correct numbers in my captcha field it always showing me the error, no mather what i type in, could please someone give me a hint?
html:
<label for="code">Count please </label>
<?php echo $rand; ?>
<input type="text" id="code" name="code" class="span3" />
validation line:
$this->form_validation->set_rules('code', 'Captcha', 'required|callback_captcha_check');
Modify your callback function like this:
function captcha_check()
{
if($this->input->post('code') != $this->rand)
{
$this->form_validation->set_message('captcha_check', 'Wrong captcha code, hmm are you the Terminator?');
return false;
}
return true;
}
EDIT:
You need to move this line $this->rand = random_string('numeric', 4); out of the constructor because on each load of the controller it generates a new string, resulting in different values on the captcha initial load and the captcha verification. Simply place it before the $vals initialization.
* Example of captcha validation without database
* Instead of it used session to store captcha value
* The images will be deleted after the use

public function index()

$this->load->helper(array('form', 'url','captcha'));

}
}
public function validate_captcha(){
if($this->input->post('captcha') != $this->session->userdata['captcha'])
{
$this->form_validation->set_message('validate_captcha', 'Wrong captcha code, hmm are you the Terminator?');
return false;
}else{
return true;

'img_url' => base_url() . 'captcha/',
'font_path' => './system/fonts/texb.ttf',
'img_width' => '150',
'img_height' => 30,
'expiration' => 7200
);
$cap = create_captcha($vals);
$this->session->set_userdata($cap);
function captcha_check()
{
if($this->input->post('code') == $this->session->userdata('word'))
{
return true;
}else{
$this->form_validation->set_message('captcha_check', 'Wrong captcha code, hmm are you the Terminator?');
return false;
}
}
Try using captcha service like MTCaptcha, where database is not require to setup. Captcha can be directly validated in back-end (here in this case codeigniter).

I am getting my ajax callback in normal custom form, but on form alter its not working.
function sample_ajax_form_alter(&$form, \Drupal\Core\Form\FormStateInterface $form_state, $form_id) {
if ($form_id === 'node_sampleajax_form' || $form_id === 'node_sampleajax_edit_form') {
$form['field_nametrain']= array(
'#title' => t('training name'),
'#type' => 'select',
'#options' => _load_training(),
'#required' => FALSE,
'#ajax' => [
'callback' => [$this, 'changeOptionsAjax'],
// 'callback' => '::changeOptionsAjax',
'wrapper' => 'second_field_wrapper',
],
);
$form['field_namedomain'] = [
'#type' => 'select',
'#title' => t('Domain program'),
'#options' => $this->getOptions($form_state),
'#prefix' => '<div id="second_field_wrapper">',
'#suffix' => '</div>',
];
return $form;
}
}
function _load_training() {
$training = array('- Select domain training -');
$query = db_select("node__field_trainingname", "a");
$query->fields("a", array('field_trainingname_value', 'entity_id'));
$query->orderBy("a.field_trainingname_value");
$result = $query->execute();
while($row = $result->fetchObject()){
$training[$row->entity_id] = $row->field_trainingname_value;
}
return $training;
}
function changeOptionsAjax(array &$form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {
return $form['field_namedomain'];
}
function getOptions(array &$form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {
$cvvv = $form_state->getValue('field_nametrain');
<!-- return ["shgsh", $form_state->get(['field_nametrain'])]; -->
$options = array('- Select subdomain category -');
$query = db_select("node__field_trainingname", "a");
$query->fields("a", array('field_trainingname_value', 'entity_id'));
$query = db_select("node__field_cms", "b");
$query->fields("b", array('field_cms_value', 'entity_id'));
$query->join("node__field_trainingname", "b", "b.entity_id=a.entity_id");
$query->condition("a.entity_id", $cvvv);
$result = $query->execute();
while($row = $result->fetchObject()){
$options[$row->entity_id] = $row->field_cms_value;
}
return $options;
}
On using $this->getOptions($form_state) it represent the error log it is not an object and throws website encounter error in front end. But on custom form no error came only in formalter it throws error.
Kindly suggest me ideas to apply in form_alter of Drupal 8
The .module file, where your form alter hook is located, is not a class, therefore there is no $this. Your custom form however is a class (usually in your_module/src/Form/YourForm.php), that's why it works there but not in the .module file.
Further reading: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php
and What does the variable $this mean in PHP?
In your case you should be able to just call
'#options' => getOptions($form, $form_state),
And more on a side note: I would strongly recommend to do some code refactoring.
In your custom submit handler, firt get the form object from the form state.
$formObj = $formState->getFormObject();
then call submitForm() on the form object and pass the form and form state variables.
$formObj->submitForm($form, $formState);
and finally, you just need to simply trigger the save() function on the object.
$formObj->save($form, $formState);
So the whole solution is something like
function YOR_CUSTOM_SUBMIT_HANLDLER(array $form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {
/** #var Drupal\user\RegisterForm $entity */
$formObj = $form_state->getFormObject();
$formObj->submitForm($form, $form_state);
$formObj->save($form, $form_state);
}
I've created custom node form with only two fields attached. Each field have own "Save" AJAX button. On "Save" button click, everything goes as if it is default node form submission. Here is the full code:
/**
* Form;
*/
function mymodule_custom_form($form, &$form_state) {
$node = node_load(123);
$node->langcode = entity_language('node', $node);
// Store node object in form state
if (!isset($form_state['node'])) {
if (!isset($node->title)) {
$node->title = NULL;
}
node_object_prepare($node);
$form_state['node'] = $node;
}
else {
$node = $form_state['node'];
}
// Basic node information.
// These elements are just values so they are not even sent to the client.
$properties = array('nid', 'vid', 'uid', 'created', 'type', 'language');
foreach ($properties as $key) {
$form[$key] = array(
'#type' => 'value',
'#value' => isset($node->$key) ? $node->$key : NULL,
);
}
// Changed must be sent to the client, for later overwrite error checking.
$form['changed'] = array(
'#type' => 'hidden',
'#default_value' => isset($node->changed) ? $node->changed : NULL,
);
// TEST 1 field
field_attach_form('node', $node, $form, $form_state, $node->langcode, array(
'field_name' => 'field_test_1'
));
// Set the form prefix and suffix to support AJAX
$form['field_test_1']['#prefix'] = '<div id="wrapper-field-test-1">';
$form['field_test_1']['#suffix'] = '</div>';
// the submit button
$form['field_test_1']['save'] = array(
'#type' => 'submit',
'#value' => t('Save'),
'#name' => 'button-field-test-1',
'#ajax' => array(
'callback' => 'mymodule_custom_form_ajax_submit',
'wrapper' => 'wrapper-field-test-1',

'effect' => 'fade',
)
);
// TEST 2 field
field_attach_form('node', $node, $form, $form_state, $node->langcode, array(
'field_name' => 'field_test_2'
));
// Set the form prefix and suffix to support AJAX
$form['field_test_2']['#prefix'] = '<div id="wrapper-field-test-2">';
$form['field_test_2']['#suffix'] = '</div>';
// the submit button
$form['field_test_2']['save'] = array(
'#type' => 'submit',
'#value' => t('Save'),
'#name' => 'button-field-test-2',
'#ajax' => array(
'callback' => 'mymodule_custom_form_ajax_submit',
'wrapper' => 'wrapper-field-test-2',
'method' => 'replace',
'effect' => 'fade',
)
);
return $form;
}
/**

*/
function mymodule_custom_form_validate($form, &$form_state) {
$field_name = reset($form_state['triggering_element']['#parents']);
// Validate only the stuff we need
$fields = array(
'field_test_1',
'field_test_2'
);
foreach ($fields as $field => $bundle) {
if ($field_name != $field) {
unset($form_state['values'][$field], $form_state['input'][$field]);
}
}
// $form_state['node'] contains the actual entity being edited, but we must
// not update it with form values that have not yet been validated, so we
// create a pseudo-entity to use during validation.
$node = (object) $form_state['values'];
node_validate($node, $form, $form_state);
entity_form_field_validate('node', $form, $form_state);
}
/**

function mymodule_custom_form_submit($form, &$form_state) {
// Execute all submit functions
$node = $form_state['node'];

node_submit($node);
foreach (module_implements('node_submit') as $module) {
$function = $module . '_node_submit';
$function($node, $form, $form_state);
}
// Save the node
node_save($node);
$form_state['values']['nid'] = $node->nid;
$form_state['nid'] = $node->nid;
}
/**

*/
function mymodule_custom_form_ajax_submit($form, &$form_state) {
$field_name = reset($form_state['triggering_element']['#parents']);
// validate the form
drupal_validate_form('mymodule_custom_form', $form, $form_state);
// if there are errors, return the form to display the error messages
if (form_get_errors()) {
$form_state['rebuild'] = TRUE;
return $form[$field_name];
}
// process the form
mymodule_custom_form_submit($form, $form_state);
// Show the processing box
$form[$field_name] = array('#markup' => 'Thanks!');
$form[$field_name]['#prefix'] = '<div id="wrapper-' . str_replace('_', '-', $field_name) . '">';
$form[$field_name]['#suffix'] = '</div>';
// return the confirmation message
return $form[$field_name];
}
The code works perfectly, except that node_save($node) causes The content on this page has either been modified by another user, or you have already submitted modifications using this form. As a result, your changes cannot be saved. error.
No errors, if I remove it. But I need to save node and trigger all the hooks.
I think the issue caused by this line :
// process the form
mymodule_custom_form_submit($form, $form_state);
in your ajax function, try to use the node_save into your ajax function. mymodule_custom_form_submit is the conventional hook usually used. It seems to be several save process at the same time.
I don't know if you've solved it or not, but I've been stuck in a similar situation.
I avoid the error: The content on this page has either been modified..., modifying changed value in $form_state. In your submit function: mymodule_custom_form_submit, right after node_save($node), Add this line:
$form_state['input']['changed'] = $node->changed;
Drupal 7 full Save & Stay callback function, please add wrapper for form:
function <MODULE_NAME>_node_ajax_save_callback($form, &$form_state){
// If error, return form.
if (form_get_errors()) {
return $form;
}
node_form_submit($form, $form_state);
$form['changed']['#value'] = $form_state['node']->changed;
return $form;
}
These are my code, I have done the form alter in template.php.
Please advice me ! I created a webform by webform module.My aim is to submit the form without the page load.
My code follows here:
function business_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
if($form_id == 'webform_client_form_7') {
$form['actions']['submit']['#ajax'] = array(
'callback' => 'business_webform_js_submit',
'wrapper' => 'webform-client-form-7',
'method' => 'replace',
'effect' => 'fade',
);
}
function business_webform_ajax_submit($form, $form_state) {
$sid = $form_state['values']['details']['sid'];
if ($sid) {
$node = node_load($form_state['values']['details']['nid']);
$confirmation = array(
'#type' => 'markup',
'#markup' => check_markup($node->webform['confirmation'], $node- >webform['confirmation_format'], '', TRUE),
);
return $confirmation;
}
else {
return $form;
}
}
There is a small mistake in your code. The name of the #ajax['callback'] function is different than the actual function.
You might want to rename the function:
function business_webform_js_submit($form, $form_state)
And it should work.
I'm wracking my brain on what is probably a simple issue. Relatively new to MVC and codeigniter. I'm using tank_auth for user registration, and it comes with a db table user_profiles which I've altered slightly to add things like 'firstname', 'lastname', 'homephone', etc.
I've added the appropriate fields to my register_form.php view and following advice from this question: Tank Auth Adding Fields and others, tried to update all necessary stuff. Unfortunately, while the users table gets populated properly, the user_profiles table does not. I've double checked with firebug that the view is posting properly, but the model is not picking up the data, and I keep getting the error:
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined variable: firstname
Filename: tank_auth/users.php
Line Number: 382
Using var_dump, I can see that the controller function is not receiving 'firstname' or anything else and they are NULL, but the data going into users is being sent properly.
Here's the relevant code:
Model:
private function create_profile($user_id)
{
$this->db->set('user_id', $user_id);
$this->db->set('firstname', $firstname);
return $this->db->insert($this->profile_table_name);
}

I have been working on this far too long, am hoping that a fresh (and knowledgeable) pair of eyes can see what I cannot.
The data to be recorded in user_profile is passed along the folllowing chain:
view -> controller -> library/tank_auth/create_user() -> model/users/users/create_user() -> model/create_profile
Therefore you need to make sure that the variable is passed along every time.
Here is my working solution, building up on the modifications that you mentioned in the question:
VIEW + CONTROLER:
Your solution is good
LIBRARY
function create_user($username, $email, $password, $firstname, $lastname, $company='', $email_activation)
{
if ((strlen($username) > 0) AND !$this->ci->users->is_username_available($username)) {
$this->error = array('username' => 'auth_username_in_use');
} elseif (!$this->ci->users->is_email_available($email)) {
$this->error = array('email' => 'auth_email_in_use');
} else {
// Hash password using phpass
$hasher = new PasswordHash(
$this->ci->config->item('phpass_hash_strength', 'tank_auth'),
$this->ci->config->item('phpass_hash_portable', 'tank_auth'));
$hashed_password = $hasher->HashPassword($password);
$data = array(
'username' => $username,
'password' => $hashed_password,
'email' => $email,
'last_ip' => $this->ci->input->ip_address(),
);
$data_profile = array(
'firstname' => $firstname,
'lastname' => $lastname,
'company' => $company,
);
if ($email_activation) {
$data['new_email_key'] = md5(rand().microtime());
}
if (!is_null($res = $this->ci->users->create_user($data, $data_profile, !$email_activation))) {
$data['user_id'] = $res['user_id'];
$data['password'] = $password;
unset($data['last_ip']);
return $data;
}
}
return NULL;
}
MODEL:
function create_user($data, $data_profile, $activated = TRUE)
{
$data['created'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$data['activated'] = $activated ? 1 : 0;
var_dump($data);
if ($this->AuthDb->insert($this->table_name, $data)) {
$user_id = $this->AuthDb->insert_id();
$this->create_profile($user_id, $data_profile);
return array('user_id' => $user_id);
}
return NULL;
}
[...]
private function create_profile($user_id, $data_profile)
{
$this->AuthDb->set('user_id', $user_id);
$this->AuthDb->set('firstname', $data_profile['firstname']);
$this->AuthDb->set('lastname', $data_profile['lastname']);
$this->AuthDb->set('company', $data_profile['company']);
return $this->AuthDb->insert($this->profile_table_name);
}
You need to pass $firstname as a parameter to the function...
private function create_profile($user_id, $firstname)
{
$this->db->set('user_id', $user_id);
$this->db->set('firstname', $firstname);
return $this->db->insert($this->profile_table_name);
}
Ok so I figured it out, in case anyone googles this answer down the line. I'm not sure if this is the 'proper' or most elegant solution, but does fine for my purposes. I edited the create_profile function like so:
private function create_profile($user_id)
{
$this->db->set('user_id', $user_id);
$data = array(
'firstname' => $this->input->post('firstname'),
);
$this->db->insert($this->profile_table_name, $data);
}
I'm trying to perform validation in the login page for the name,email and password fields. If the input fails validation,the error message should be displayed.
But here,when I fill in the details and submit, it is redirected to the next page. Only the value is not saved in the database.
Why is the message not displayed?
This is my model:
class User extends AppModel {
var $name = 'User';
var $validate = array(
'name' => array(
'alphaNumeric' => array(
'rule' => 'alphaNumeric',
'required' => true,
'message' => 'Alphabets and numbers only'
),
'between' => array(
'rule' => array('between', 5, 15),
'message' => 'Between 5 to 15 characters'
)
),
'password' => array(
'rule' => array('minLength', '8'),
'message' => 'Mimimum 8 characters long'
),
'email_id' => 'email'
);
function loginUser($data) {
$this->data['User']['email_id'] = $data['User']['email_id'];
$this->data['User']['password'] = $data['User']['password'];
$login = $this->find('all');
foreach ($login as $form):
if ($this->data['User']['email_id'] == $form['User']['email_id'] && $this->data['User']['password'] == $form['User']['password']) {
$this->data['User']['id'] = $this->find('all',
array(
'fields' => array('User.id'),
'conditions' => array(
'User.email_id' => $this->data['User']['email_id'],

)
);
$userId=$this->data['User']['id'][0]['User']['id'];
return $userId;
}
endforeach;
}
function registerUser($data) {

$this->data['User']['password'] = $data['User']['password'];
if($this->save($this->data)) {
$this->data['User']['id']= $this->find('all', array(
'fields' => array('User.id'),
'order' => 'User.id DESC'
));
$userId=$this->data['User']['id'][0]['User']['id'];
return $userId;
}
}
}
}
This is my controller:
class UsersController extends AppController {
var $name = 'Users';
var $uses=array('Form','User','Attribute','Result');
var $helpers=array('Html','Ajax','Javascript','Form');
function login() {
$userId = $this->User->loginUser($this->data);
if($userId>0) {
$this->Session->setFlash('Login Successful.');
$this->redirect('/forms/homepage/'.$userId);
break;
} else {
$this->flash('Login Unsuccessful.','/forms');
}
}
function register() {
$userId=$this->User->registerUser($this->data);
$this->Session->setFlash('You have been registered.');
$this->redirect('/forms/homepage/'.$userId);
}
}
EDIT
Why is the message,example,"Minimum 8 characters long", is not being displayed when give less than 8 characters in the password field?

Your validation seems correct
How about trying the following:
Make sure set your $form->create to the appropriate function
Make sure there is no $this->Model->read() before issuing Model->save();
Edit
Did you have the following?:
function register()
{
//do not put any $this->User->read or find() here or before saving pls.
if ($this->User->save($this->data))
{
//...
}
}
Edit2
IF you're doing a read() or find() before saving the Model then that will reset the fields. You should be passing the variable as type=hidden in the form. I hope i am making sense.
Edit3
I think you need to move your registerUser() into your controller because having that function in the model doesn't provide you a false return. it's always going to be true even if it has validation errors.
Comment out the redirect line and set the debug to 2 in config/core.php. Then look at the sql that is being generated to see if your insert is working. If the errors are not being displayed, maybe in the view, you are using $form->text or $form->select instead of the $form->input functions. Only the $form->input functions will automatically display the error messages.
