Problem when a template is changed

[lionel-m]

Hi,

I have a problem when I change a template. To explain this, my module display a search form and a link for creating a new job :

First function :

        // Search form
        $arrFields = array
        (
            'contract_type' => array
            (
                ...
            ),
            'categories' => array
            (
                ...
            )
        );

        // First param is the form id
        $objForm = new HasteForm('search_jobs', $arrFields);

        // The submit button
        $objForm->submit = $GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['MSC']['form_search'];

        // Get the form as string
        $objForm->addFormToTemplate($this->Template);

        // Validate() also checks whether the form has been submitted
        if ($objForm->validate())
        {
            // Fetch all form data
            $arrData = $objForm->fetchAll();
        }

       ...

If I use this link I change the template with a new form.

Second function :

$arrFields = array
        (
            'title' => array
            (
                ...
            ),
            'description' => array
            (
               ...
            )
            ...
        );

        // Change the template
        $this->Template = new FrontendTemplate('jb_jobForm');

        // Add "tr" and "td" tags on each field of the form
        foreach ($arrFields as $key => $value) {
            $arrFields[$key]['eval']['tableless'] = FALSE;
        }

        // First param is the form id
        $objForm = new HasteForm('job_offer', $arrFields);

        // The submit button
        $objForm->submit = $GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['MSC']['form_submit'];

        // Get the form as string
        $objForm->addFormToTemplate($this->Template);

        // Validate() also checks whether the form has been submitted
        if ($objForm->validate())
        {
            // Fetch all form data
            $arrData = $objForm->fetchAll();

            ...

The template is changed. That's OK. But not the form. The first form is inserted into the second form.

Normally I should have "title", "description", ... but I have "contract_type", "categories", ... and the id of the form is not changed.

Do you have an idea of the problem ?

Thx

No idea what could be wrong. Does echo $objForm->generateForm() also outpus the wrong form?

I inserted this function in the code and it returns me the correct form !

// Get the form as string
        $objForm->addFormToTemplate($this->Template);

        echo $objForm->generateForm() ;

And $this->Template = jb_jobForm ( FrontendTemplate Object ( [strTemplate:protected] => jb_jobForm)

But I have the first form in the frontend... The first overwrites the second.

I use this code on each template

<div class="form">
        <form action="<?php echo $this->action; ?>" method="post">
                <div class="formbody">
                    <input type="hidden" name="FORM_SUBMIT" value="<?php echo $this->formId; ?>" />
                    <input type="hidden" name="REQUEST_TOKEN" value="{{request_token}}" />

                    <table summary="Form fields">
                        <?php foreach ($this->fields as $objWidget): ?>

                            <?php echo $objWidget->parse(); ?>

                        <?php endforeach; ?>
                    </table>

                    <div class="submit_container">
                        <input type="submit" class="submit" value="<?php echo $this->submit; ?>" />
                    </div>
                </div>
        </form>
    </div>

In the second form I use a table. We can see with Firebug that has not worked well and the formId is the first...

[qzminski]

I think there is some mistake in your code. Maybe try to do the following:

$objTemplate = new FrontendTemplate('jb_jobForm');

// Initialize form, etc.

$objForm->addFormToTemplate($objTemplate);
$this->Template = $objTemplate;

[lionel-m]

No result...

I use three forms with Haste and if I remove the first, the other forms work perfectly. The method for changing the template is the same...

Thank you for the help.

I suggest to make independent templates for each form. This way you will avoid strange errors like above.

$objTemplateSearch
$objFormSearch
// ...
$objTemplateJob
$objFormJob

// And in the main template, depending on the situation:
$this->Template->form = $objTemplateSearch->parse();

Hi,

I found a solution by replacing in the main template :

$objForm->addFormToTemplate($this->Template);

With

$this->Template->form = $objForm->generateForm();

It works...

Thanks
