Validating additional fields

[loter]

Hello,

Very good extension!
I've implemented dynamicform in my project, but looks like it doesn't validate the additional fields created (for example if I click on [+] then try to submit form, only the initial form validates.)

Please advice! Thank you!

Ensure you have added all the fields you want to validate the 'FormFields' attribute.
How is the code in your view?

Hello,

I have this:

<?php DynamicFormWidget::begin([
                'dynamicItems' => '#form-qualifications',
                'dynamicItem' => '.form-qualifications-item',
                'model' => $modelsQualifications[0],
                'formId' => 'dynamic-form',
                'formFields' => [
                    'employee_qualification_position',
                    'employee_qualification_start_date',
                    'employee_qualification_end_date',

So I have 2 problems so far:

1. When I click [+] on form to duplicate the fieldset, only the first set validates
2. Datepicker is not working on duplicated fieldset

[wbraganca]

Not working with jui datepicker.
Try: http://demos.krajee.com/widget-details/datepicker

[loter]

Thank you! Will try to replace jui datepicker with krajee's!
What can be the problem with cloned fields validation? any hints?

[wbraganca]

I'm unable to reproduce your problem. I need to see the whole view code for analysis :(

[loter]

Are you trying it on Yii v 2.0.0 or 2.0.1, maybe it makes difference? if you're on 2.0.1 then I will upload entire code, thanks!

Suggestions:

Remove the "createMultiple" method of model "Employees" and add in a class that inherits from the \yii\base\Model.

Example:

Directory: app\base\Model.php

<?php

namespace app\base;

use Yii;
use yii\helpers\ArrayHelper;

class Model extends \yii\base\Model
{
    public static function createMultiple($modelClass, $multipleModels=null)
    {
        $model    = new $modelClass;
        $formName = $model->formName();
        $post     = Yii::$app->request->post($formName);
        $models   = [];
        $flag     = false;

        if ($multipleModels !== null && is_array($multipleModels) && !empty($multipleModels)) {
            $keys = array_keys(ArrayHelper::map($multipleModels, 'id', 'id'));
            $multipleModels = array_combine($keys, $multipleModels);
            $flag = true;
        }

        if ($post && is_array($post)) {
            foreach ($post as $i => $item) {
                if ($flag) {
                    if (isset($item['id']) && !empty($item['id']) && isset($multipleModels[$item['id']])) {
                        $models[] = $multipleModels[$item['id']];
                    } else {
                        $models[] = new $modelClass;
                    }
                } else {
                    $models[] = new $modelClass;
                }
            }
        }
        unset($model, $formName, $post);
        return $models;
    }
}
