Form validation using xajax

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hello,

I'm pretty new to CI.

I've a form and the validation without xajax works. Now I try to integrate xajax to validate the form. But the validation will not work. If I understand right, the CI validation uses the $_Post variables, but xajax submit the values in another way.

Does anyone has a solution for this?

Can you share some code. We use some xajax in Webber but I'm not sure where your problem is.

xajax:

Code:

function CreateNews()
    {
        $this->load->model('MyForm');
        
        $data = $this->MyForm->myvalidation();
            
        $objResponse = new xajaxResponse();
                $objResponse->Assign("content","innerHTML", $data);
                return $objResponse;        
        }
    }

Validation - Model MyForm:

Code:

function myvalidation(){
            # Validations
          $this->load->library('validation');
        $this->load->helper('form');
          
          $rules['fname'] = "required";
          $rules['email'] = "required|valid_email";

        $this->validation->set_rules($rules);
            
        # Input and textarea field attributes
        $data["fname"] = array();
        $data['email'] = array();
        $data['comments'] = array();
                      
    
        if ($this->validation->run() == FALSE)
        {
            $this->validation->set_fields($data);  
            # Input and textarea field attributes
            $data["fname"] = array('name' => 'fname', 'id' => 'fname', 'value' => $this->validation->fname);
            $data['email'] = array('name' => 'email', 'id' => 'email', 'value' => $this->validation->email);
            $data['comments'] = array('name' => 'comments', 'id' => 'comments', 'rows' => 3, 'cols' => 40);
                    
            

             $output = $this->load->view('form_view', $data, true);

        }
        else
        {
                    $output = $this->load->view('succes_view', $data, true);
                }
               return $output;
       }

Form:

Code:

<form name="test" id="test">
<p><label for="fname">Full Name: </label><br />&lt;?php echo form_input($fname); ?&gt;</p>
<p><label for="email">E-mail: </label><br />&lt;?php echo form_input($email); ?&gt;</p>

<p>Please select one or more seminars, that you would like to attend</p>
<p>&lt;?php echo form_checkbox($purpose); ?&gt; <label for="purpose">Purpose of Prayer</label></p>
<p>&lt;?php echo form_checkbox($prepare); ?&gt; <label for="prepare">Prepare for Prayer</label></p>
<p>&lt;?php echo form_checkbox($principles); ?&gt; <label for="principles">Principles of Prayer</label></p>
<p>&lt;?php echo form_checkbox($power); ?&gt; <label for="power">Power in Prayer</label></p>
<p><label for="comments">Comments: </label><br />&lt;?php echo form_textarea($comments); ?&gt;</p>
a href="#" xajax_CreateNews(xajax.getFormValues("test", false));'>Save

CI's validation uses POST variables to check things. AJAX typically sends query strings, or GET variables to a URL, which in turn responds with the yes or no validation. You'll have to use some custom validation methods, whether they're in the AJAX or your own controller/model.

So wrong!

@Haemo, you have to register the xajax function in your controller first. We do somwthing like this in Webber on the constructor (or where you need it...) function of the controller:

Code:

$this->xajax->registerFunction ( array( 'function_name', &$this, 'function_name' ) );
$this->xajax->processRequests ();

Once the function registered and the requests sent out you must go out to the view and print the javascript that xajax uses to connect:

Code:

$this->xajax->printJavascript ( base_url () . '/path_to_xajax_js_folder/' )

Hi guys
Sorry for my ignorance, but...
Is this a library with a custom xajax integrated into CI ?

$this->xajax->...

If so, where can I get it?

[eluser]manilodisan[/eluser]
No it's not. You will have to download it from the xajax website.

Even if it was true, you can set xAjax to use POST instead of GET.

You explained how to setup xajax. This has nothing to do with the problem at hand, which by the way, still hasn't been addressed...
