Hello,
I'm trying to submit a form that is contained in a view file which gets loaded via a central template file. The form/view is loading and i can submit the form but none of the validation seems to be working. I'm wondering but not sure if it's because of my implementation?
Here is my setup:
Controller: loads correctly
Code:
function addCompany()
{
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->data['pagetitle'] = "Add New Company";
$this->data['html'] = $this->load->view('theme/content/add_new_company', '', true);
$this->form_validation->set_rules('CompanyName','Company Name','required|trim|max_length[100]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('BillingAddress1','Street Address','required|trim|max_length[100]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('BillingAddress2','Suite','trim|max_length[100]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('City','City','required|trim|max_length[30]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('State','State','required|trim|max_length[2]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('Zip','Zip Code','required|trim|max_length[10]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('Phone','Phone','required|trim|max_length[20]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('fax','Fax','trim|max_length[20]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('WebAddress','Web Address','trim|max_length[100]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('ClientTypeID','Company Type','required|trim|is_numeric|max_length[3]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('ClientActivityID','Company Activity Level','trim|is_numeric|max_length[3]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('ClientSourceID','Lead Source','required|trim|is_numeric|max_length[3]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('Notes','Company Notes','trim|max_length[500]');
$this->form_validation->set_error_delimiters('<br /><span class="error">', '</span>');
if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE) // validation hasn'\t been passed
{
$this->load->view( 'template', $this->data ); //inject the form into the main content
}
else // passed validation proceed to post success logic
{
// build array for the model
$form_data = array(
'CompanyName' => set_value('CompanyName'),
'BillingAddress1' => set_value('BillingAddress1'),
'BillingAddress2' => set_value('BillingAddress2'),
'City' => set_value('City'),
'State' => set_value('State'),
'Zip' => set_value('Zip'),
'Phone' => set_value('Phone'),
'fax' => set_value('fax'),
'WebAddress' => set_value('WebAddress'),
'ClientTypeID' => set_value('ClientTypeID'),
'ClientActivityID' => set_value('ClientActivityID'),
'ClientSourceID' => set_value('ClientSourceID'),
'Notes' => set_value('Notes')
);
// run insert model to write data to db
if ($this->sales_model->newCompany($form_data) == TRUE) // the information has therefore been successfully saved in the db
{
$this->data['message'] = 'Company saved successfully';
$this->load->view( 'template', $this->data ); // or whatever logic needs to occur
}
else
{
$this->data['message'] = 'An error occurred saving your information. Please try again later';
$this->load->view( 'template', $this->data );
// Or whatever error handling is necessary
}
}
}
