Quote:I cannot reproduce the problem with the double submit field.Here is the code:
Code:
$this->load->library('form');
$this->form
->open('auth')
->text('username', lang('auth_page_name_field'), 'trim|required')
->pass('password', lang('auth_page_pwd_field'), 'trim|required')
->hidden('submit', 'xyz123huikj')
->br()
->submit(lang('auth_page_btn_name'));And let me give you an advice...
I think all elements must be separated from each other...
If I write the class I would do it this way:
Each element (button, text field, etc) has a corresponding class (Button, Text, ...).
For example, when creating a button by calling button(), new `Button` object is being instantiated and put into the storage (eg.: class field Form::$__elements). And when the complete form has to be received, it's html code is being compiled from the created elements.
Example of the button class:
Code:
class Button {
private $__label; // An object of type `Label`. Contains a label corresponding to this element
private $__attr = array(); // Attributes of the tag
function __construct($attr) {
$this->__attr = $attr;
}
function __toString() {
// Build a complete html tag + it's label and return it as a string
}
function setLabel(Label $label) {
$this->__label = $label;
}
...
// some more code...
...
}It would be very great if you do it this way... Elements duplication would be simply impossible in this case.
All elements' classes should be located in a single file (in order to avoid work slowdown).
And can you make html tags in a form separated by `newline` (\n).
P.S.: sorry for my poor English..

It happens because hidden field has name `submit`.

it seems like you already found the reason :-) actually this is also in the user guide (which I apologize is not finished yet, but I am working on it)
'submit' is a reserved word if the name attribute is omitted in the submit() element. please take a look at the user guide.

Can you include the user guide to the download package?
Form Generation Library - El Forum - 07-23-2009
[eluser]macigniter[/eluser]
Sure. I will provide two downloads next time. One with the user guide and CI install and one without. Just the lib. Btw... I am making some more progress in adding new pages to the user guide...

Hi Macigniter,
Firstly, thanks for this awesome library, I think you will help a lot of people.
Also, where is the "donate" button on your website? I'd love to buy you a coffee/beer as thanks.
I am using your library on a client project of mine and I have a question about checkboxgroup. I am trying to create the below code but I don't think it's possible as there is no way to wrap each checkbox with extra html.
Code:
<ul>
<li><input type="checkbox" name="array1[]" value="1" class="check" id="e9aa0" /><label for="e9aa0" class="left check">Subcategory 1.1</label></li>
<li><input type="checkbox" name="array1[]" value="2" class="check" id="b1653" /><label for="b1653" class="left check">Subcategory 1.2</label></li>
<li><input type="checkbox" name="array1[]" value="10" class="check" id="ee526" /><label for="ee526" class="left check">Subcategory 1.3</label></li>
<li>etc...</li>
</ul>I can kind of achieve the layout I need using CSS but it's not ideal and doesn't help non CSS clients.
Any thoughts on a better way?
Cheers,
Bob

hi bob!
i am glad you like the library. maybe i should think about adding a donation button to the website
anyway, many people requested a way to wrap elements with code and I will definitely add something to easily do that in one of the next versions. i do not know though when that will be. top priority right now is clean the code, finish the user guide and then make further improvements.
i am right now working on finishing the user guide, so hopefully an update to the library will be available very soon!

@everyone
I just updated my first post to keep everyone updated on the latest releases and important changes. This way you don't have to search the whole thread.
IMPORTANT: everyone who recently updated to version 0.1.3 should update to 0.1.4 to fix a bug when using the "nameasid" functionality. Thanks to Dave I could fix this instantly.

Hello out there
I just started using your Library, and.... well just "WOW!". There's just one thing I'm missing (more than the full doc
: is it possible to create "confirmation" fields. I mean like in the CI validation class "match[somefield]"Greetings from France

No problem. Just do it like this:
Code:
$this->form
->password('pass', 'Password', 'required')
->password('pass2', 'Repeat Password', 'required|matches[pass]')
