 Posted: Mon Feb 18, 2008 5:09 pm Post subject: Confused about Quickform's groups |
 |
|
I've just started using quickform, I really like it. ALl the problems I've come up against have been solved by some serious googling, except one...
Once defined, can a group not be used more than once?
I would have expected this to create two instances of a group, but it doesn't seem to work like that.
Is there any way a group array be reused?
Many thanks, Rob
| Code: | <?php
require_once "HTML/QuickForm.php";
$form = new HTML_QuickForm('form', 'get');
$person[] = $form->createElement('text', 'firstname');
$person[] = $form->createElement('text', 'secondname');
$form->addGroup($person, 'person1', 'First Person', ' ');
$form->addGroup($person, 'person2', 'Second Person', ' ');
$form->addElement('submit', 'btnSubmit', 'Submit');
if ($form->validate()) {$form->freeze();$form->display();}
else {$form->display();} |

Rob,
You're using the same instance of "firstname" and "secondname" on both groups - i think that's the problem.
you'll need to create two sets of fields, one for each group.
| Code: |
$person1[] = $form->createElement('text', 'firstname1');
$person1[] = $form->createElement('text', 'secondname1');
$person2[] = $form->createElement('text', 'firstname2');
$person2[] = $form->createElement('text', 'secondname2');
$form->addGroup($person1, 'person1', 'First Person', ' ');
$form->addGroup($person2, 'person2', 'Second Person', ' ');

Thanks for letting me know.
My actual group was unfortunately a lot more complicated than two fields, and needs to be replicated many more times; so I was just trying to reuse code rather than manually replicating it!
Thanks anyway, R |

| You may not need to manually replicate the code. If the groups are similar you could create them dynamically in a loop. |
