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,
Ivo Trompert

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
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.
