[RESOLVED] helpers - form.tpl - input type = file

[be_tnt]

Hello!

 

I have added an helper form on my module configuration page. This form has a field with type = "file":

array(
  'type'   =>   'file',
  'label'  =>   $this->l('Select a file:'),
  'desc'  =>  $this->l('Banner picture. Extension allowed: jpeg, png, jpg, gif.'),
  'name'   =>   'banner_image',
  'required' =>   true,
  'lang'  =>  false,
  'display_image' => true,
 ),

 

The display_image allows to display the image for an existing element (information about this image is located in fields_value array). My problem is that the helper form.tpl add a delete link below the picture and in my case, it does not work:

 

	{elseif $input.type == 'file'}
	 {if isset($input.display_image) && $input.display_image}
	  {if isset($fields_value.image) && $fields_value.image}
	   <div id="image">
		{$fields_value.image}
		<p align="center">{l s='File size'} {$fields_value.size}kb</p>
		<a href="{$current}&{$identifier}={$form_id}&token={$token}&deleteImage=1">
		 <img src="../img/admin/delete.gif" alt="{l s='Delete'}" /> {l s='Delete'}
		</a>
	   </div><br />
	  {/if}
	 {/if}
	 <input type="file" name="{$input.name}" {if isset($input.id)}id="{$input.id}"{/if} />
	 {if !empty($input.hint)}<span class="hint" name="help_box">{$input.hint}<span class="hint-pointer"> </span></span>{/if}

 

I do not see what should be {$identifier}={$form_id}, how to set those variables and what is the different call made when you click on the delete.

 

Any idea?

I resolved my issue by creating my own file input type for my module.

 

FYI: to override the form.tpl in your module, you have to create your form.tpl in the following folder: \modules\{your module name}\views\templates\admin\_configure\helpers\form

Hi just hit this old post and wonder if you can help me.

 

I am trying to override form tpl in my module just as you but my override is not working if I place in the above directory. I am using PS 1.5.6. However, I have discovered that if I manually copy my overriden form.tpl to admin\themes\default\template\controllers\my_custom\helpers\form\ folder then my override is loaded. Also, for the above path to work my back office module controller must be named as AdminMyCustomController.php. In the controller, I am using the default renderForm method.

 

I would appreciate if you can point me to exactly what I need to do in order to properly override form.tpl from my module's custom admin controller. Thanks

Make sure you have set this line in Helper loader:

$helper = new HelperForm();
$helper->module = $this;
..
return $helper->generateForm($form);

Without module line - overrides aren't loaded at all. Spent hours debugging myself....

(Should be right away, but i normally do uninstall and reinstall for the module too)

I did the same, the only difference is that in my case I need to override a file from helpers/list folder.

 

But after reinstalling the module and clearing the cache nothing changed. Do I have to override that file in code manually also?

Hi,

 

I have two file input fields. 

 

array("type"=>"file","label"=>$this->l('Logo:'),"name"=>"logo","display_image"=>true,"col"=>6,"desc"=>$this->l('Upload seller logo from your computer')),

array("type"=>"file","label"=>$this->l('Shop Image:'),"name"=>"shop_image","display_image"=>true,"col"=>6,"desc"=>$this->l('Upload shop image from your computer'))

 

 

But in my form , the two file input fields are generating with same name as below.

 

<input type="file" name="logo">

<input type="file" name="logo">

 

Please help me
