Any one a idea how to simply create a form with Zend_Form and jquery? I want to use Zend_Form to validate the form so I don't have to dual script the form in JavaScript and PHP.
Thank you,

I am looking to create a system which on signup will create a subdomain on my website for the users account area.
No problem there.
ReplyDeleteAdd ZendX_JQuery to your library if you use autoload.
Then extend ZendX_JQuery_Form to your needs.
Do your stuff in the init() method of your class.
For example, I was able to create an AutoComplete field which has regular Zend_Form validation plus JQuery behavior like this:
$elem = new ZendX_JQuery_Form_Element_AutoComplete(
'query',
array('Label' => 'Search',
'required'=>true,
'filters'=>array('StripTags'),
'validators'=>array(
array('validator'=>'StringLength',
'options'=>array('min'=>'3'),
'breakChainOnFailure'=>true
),
array('Alnum')
)
)
);
$elem->setJQueryParams(array('data' => array(),
'url' => 'my_autocomplete_callback.php',
'minChars' => 1,
'onChangeInterval' => 500,
)
);
Then I even changed the default decorators like this:
$elementDecorators = array(
array('UiWidgetElement', array('tag' => '')),
array('Errors', array('tag' => 'div', 'class'=>'error')),
array('Label'),
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'div')),
);
$elem->setDecorators($elementDecorators);
And finally add to my form (remember I'm in the init() so I'll address it via $this):
$this->addElement($elem);
There you are, the magic is done.
PS: don't forget to add the following in your bootstrap:
$view->addHelperPath('ZendX/JQuery/View/Helper/', 'ZendX_JQuery_View_Helper');
Well, Zend_Form will not generate any client-side JavaScript validators for you, if that's what you mean.
ReplyDeleteBUT: You can just do all the validation on the server, and use jQuery to hook into the fields' change events, and to AJAX-ify the form validation.
Check that for a sample.
