[SOLVED] Module function checking for submit

[banditbirds]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm trying to build a new module. And I have a function which I want to check: when a submit was performed for the id 'submit_requestform':

public function getContentPage()
  {
    $message = '';

    if (Tools::isSubmit('submit_requestform'))
    {
      $message = $this->_saveContent();
      $message = $this->displayConfirmation($this->l('msg in response'));
    }
    $this->_displayContent($message);
  }  

This submit is on display.tpl in modules/blockquote/views/templates/front/

<fieldset>
  <legend>Importing from framework</legend>
  <form method="post">    
    <p>
      <label>Click this to import</label>
      <input id="submit_requestform" name="submit_requestform" type="submit" value="Save" class="button" />
    </p>
  </form>
</fieldset>

But when I submit this on the page, it doesn't trigger the if statement in my function.

 

Can anyone advise what I'm doing wrong??

 

Thanks guys!

public function getContentPage()
  {
    $message = '';

    if (Tools::isSubmit('submit_requestform'))
    {
      $message = $this->_saveContent();
      $message = $this->displayConfirmation($this->l('msg in response'));
    }
    $this->_displayContent($message);
  }  

you use this function somewhere? if not, prestashop will not execute it automatically. you have to call it somewhere

[banditbirds]

Thanks for the reply Vekia,

 

Ideally I shouldn't need to have that function. From reading the DB Best Practices...my understanding was that I could have:

<form method="post" action="insert.php">  

And then have the DB INSERT function in insert.php

<?php 

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
  $name = Tools::getValue('request_details_form');

  $variablename1 = " INSERT INTO `ps_custom_order` (`request_details`)  VALUES('{$name}');";

  if (!Db::getInstance()->execute($variablename1))
      die('Error etc.)';
}
?>

But this doesn't work!!!

 

If I have the database INSERT in my module php file, it works.

 

But the form in the tpl in modules/blockquote/views/templates/front/ doesn't run the insert.php (or at least doesn't run the code in it).

 

 

So I tried making a function in the module php file (in my first post) as a workaround - I don't know how to call this function when I submit my form??

 

Which is the best way of performing this task?

 

I've spent weeks on this now, and no one seems to be able to help. I really appreciate your help.

 

Thanks!

it's not a workaround, it's the only proper way

 

to call this function when you're submitting form - just place it in some hook.

there, where you displaying tpl file.

 

what hook you use to dispaly module .tpl contents?

[banditbirds]

Ok great!

 

Here is my function for the hook on the left column which displays my blockquote.tpl which links to my display.php in modules/blockquote/views/templates/front/:

public function hookDisplayLeftColumn($params)
  {
     $this->context->smarty->assign(
      array(
          'my_module_name' => Configuration::get('MYMODULE_NAME'),
          'my_module_link' => $this->context->link->getModuleLink('blockquote', 'display')
      )
    );
      return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blockquote.tpl');
  }

I then have my display.php in the controller /modules/blockquote/controllers/front/ to display the display.tpl:

 

<?php
class blockquotedisplayModuleFrontController extends ModuleFrontController
{
  public function initContent()
  {
    parent::initContent();
    $this->setTemplate('display.tpl');
  }
}
?>

So I should create a function in here ^^^^ ?

What is your Prestashop version ?

 

If your HTML form is reside on display.tpl and you have public function postProcess() in

/modules/blockquote/controllers/front/display.php file to process the form,

then your form action URL should be refering to this controller file
 

display.php

<?php
class blockquotedisplayModuleFrontController extends ModuleFrontController
{

   public function postProcess()
   {
      if (Tools::isSubmit('submit_requestform'))
      {
          // form processing
      }
   }

   public function initContent()
   {
      // Prepare Vars

      $this->setTemplate('display.tpl');
   }
}

display.tpl

<form action="{$link->getModuleLink('blockquote', 'display')|escape:'html'}" method="post">
      <!-- Your HTML Form Content -->
      <input type="submit" name="submit_requestform" value="Submit" />
</form>

[banditbirds]

My version is:1.6.0.5

 

I now have:   /modules/blockquote/controllers/front/display.php

<?php
class blockquotedisplayModuleFrontController extends ModuleFrontController
{
   public function postProcess()
   {
      if (Tools::isSubmit('submit'))
      {
       $varRequestDetails = Tools::getValue('formRequestDetails');

       $sql = " INSERT INTO `ps_custom_order` (`request_details`)  VALUES('{$varRequestDetails}');";

       if (!Db::getInstance()->execute($sql))
         die('Error etc.)';
      }
   }

  public function initContent()
  {
    parent::initContent();
    $this->setTemplate('display.tpl');
  }
  }
?>

And:   /modules/blockquote/views/templates/front/display.tpl

<fieldset>
 <form action="{$link->getModuleLink('blockquote', 'display')|escape:'html'}" method="post">  
    <p>
      <legend>Request Details</legend>
      <input type="text" name="formRequestDetails" maxlength="50">
      <label>Click this to Submit</label>
      <input id="submit" name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" class="button" />
    </p>
  </form>
</fieldset>

But I'm just getting a blank page at the address: http://www.banditbirds.co.uk/index.php?fc=module&module=blockquote&controller=display

 

Thanks!

Hello. I am working on a module in prestashop 1.6, and was wondering if there is any way when the user submits the form (press the save button) to pop up a message in javascript where it asks if it really wants to save, as it exists to delete I would like to do this for to save. Thank you for some help. I apologize for my English. Thanks.
