How do I set the value of a checkbox in a magento custom module? Also, how do I set the name of the checkbox to the value in an array?
Here is the code I use to put the checkbox in a magento module:
$fieldset->addField($entity_id['colorcode'], 'checkbox', array(
'label' => Mage::helper('selectcolorforimage')->__($entity_id['colorcode']),
'name' =>'assign_color_new[]',
'values' =>$entity_id['colorcode']
));
values (ending with 's') is for a select field: try value (singular)
sorry about that, try this instead:
Assuming $entity is the object you're working with, after the $fieldset declaration:
$entity->setData('assign_color_new[]', $entity_id['colorcode']);
Check out Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Customer_Edit_Tab_Account (line 142) to see how the core do it.
Check this code:
$this->addColumn('myname', array(
'type' => 'checkbox',
'name'=> 'myname',
'values' => $this->_getid(),
'align' => 'center',
'index' => 'entity_id'
));
Replace myname with your required field name. Also getid is your code for dynamic values in this array.

I am adding attribute by updating sql script, like this,
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
$installer->addAttribute('customer_address', 'group_id', array(
'label' => 'Address group',
'visible' => true,
'required' => false,
'type' => 'int',
'input' => 'select',
'source' => 'address_group/address_attribute_source_group',
'user_defined' => 1,
'position' => 100
));
.
.
.
$installer->endSetup();
I am unable to understand what is meant by following line, I am unable to find any explanation about it
'source' => 'address_group/address_attribute_source_group',
I am unable to comment on your post. Trying to understand if you have copied this code from somewhere. From your code I understand that you want to add a "Customer Address Attribute" named as "customer_address"
'source' => 'address_group/address_attribute_source_group'
The implication of the above is the path. You should have a folder/file path as below:
/app/code/local/Address/Group/Model/Address/Attribute/Source/Group.php
Group.php:
class Address_Group_Model_Address_Attribute_Source_Group ...
Since, this attribute is of TYPE => "SELECT", you should be having the options array in this file "Group.php"
Options Array should be something very similar to:
public function toOptionsArray() {
return array(
array(
'label' => '',
'value' => ''
),
array(
'label' => Yes,
'value' => 1
),
array(
'label' => No,
'value' => 0
)
);
}
Let me know if you got it!
Happy to Help!
Happy Coding...
It points to the class that provides options for the attribute. As attribute uses select input it requires options to be provided. This class is created by calling Mage::getModel() and passing the value of source to it. To find the class you need to find node models/address_group in config.xml files of the available modules. This will provide class prefix. Next what comes after slash is added to that prefix in order to create class name. So in this case it will resolve to something like Company_AddressGroupModule_Model_Address_Attribute_Source_Group. This class need to implement toOptionsArray method that returns an array in the following format:
array(
array('value' => 'option_value', 'label' => 'option_label'),
...
);
I have following code in my Form.php
$fieldset->addField('desc', 'textarea', array(
'label' => Mage::helper('module')->__('Description'),
'required' => true,
'name' => 'desc',
));
How to restrict the number of characters in this text area?
In theory you should be able to do that by adding to the textarea a maxlength attribute.
So you should end up with something like this:
<textarea maxlength="50"></textarea>
But Magento does not allow the maxlength attribute.
If you take a look at the Varien_Data_Form_Element_Textarea class (the one responsable for rendering textareas) you will see this method.
public function getHtmlAttributes()
{
return array('title', 'class', 'style', 'onclick', 'onchange', 'rows', 'cols', 'readonly', 'disabled', 'onkeyup', 'tabindex');
}
Those are the only ones that you can specify when you create the element.
First option would be to extend this class and add the maxlength among the allowed attributes, then your column could look like this:
$fieldset->addField('desc', 'textarea', array(
'label' => Mage::helper('module')->__('Description'),
'required' => true,
'name' => 'desc',
'maxlength' => 50
));
The second option is to add it via some javascript.
$fieldset->addField('desc', 'textarea', array(
'label' => Mage::helper('module')->__('Description'),
'required' => true,
'name' => 'desc',
'after_element_html' => '<script type="text/javascript">Event.observe(window, "load", function() {$("id_of_textarea_here").setAttribute("maxlength", 50)})</script>'
));
A third option would be to insert instead of the javascript above some code that limits the length of the text.
You can find an example here.
Final Note:
the content from after_element_html will be displayed in the form right after the element. So you can basically put anything there.
I created new magento grid for customer module for special purpose.
In that there have a column usertype it have value as 0,1,2.
It will displayed in customer grid page as 0,1,2.
But i need to display if value is,
0 -> Inactive
1 -> Activated
2 -> Baned
How can i dothis?
This is my code grid.php in _prepareColumns() :
$this->addColumn('usertype', array(
'header' => Mage::helper('customer')->__('Usertype'),
'width' => '150',
'index' => 'usertype'
));
If this is possible in magento.
if your greed implements Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Grid I suggest you to modify
you addColumn call to
$this->addColumn('usertype',
array(
'header'=> Mage::helper('customer')->__('Usertype'),
'width' => '150px',
'index' => 'usertype',
'type' => 'options',
'options' => $values
));
Where $values should be formatted as
array( 'value_id' => 'value_label')
Now you have dropdown created with values.
Then update _prepareCollection() function and add attribute values to customer grid collection
$collection->joinAttribute('usertype', 'customer/usertype', 'entity_id', null, 'left');
I got the solution from this
By using rendere will help to load vlaues to each row.

I'm trying to write a custom action to run off of an admin grid that I have built. Is it possible to send a value from a column in the grid to the controller via either get or post?
I've tried googling, but I cannot find a proper explanation for this anywhere. A link to an explanation of the column settings ('getter', 'type' etc.) would also be useful if this is available.
Add this code to your Grid.php:
$this->addColumn('action',
array(
'header' => Mage::helper('yourmodulename')->__('Action'),
'width' => '100',
'type' => 'action',
'getter' => 'getId',
'actions' => array(
array(
'caption' => Mage::helper('yourmodulename')->__('Edit'),
'url' => array('base'=> '*/*/edit'),
'field' => 'id'
)
),
'filter' => false,
'sortable' => false,
'index' => 'stores',
'is_system' => true,
));
That will build an "Edit" URL with the Id of the selected row as part of the URL. It will look something like <frontname>/<controllername>/edit/id/<value> where value is returned by the getter getId().
The getter field will execute any of the standard Magento magic getters, ie any attribute is gettable. So you could have getName or getProductUrl or getIsLeftHanded if you wanted and your controller can parse the attribute.
The controller can then retrieve that passed value using Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('attributename');
