Target: I want to create a record after I find out that model is valid otherwise get back to model form page with validation errors.
Problem: validation always returns false. Even all rules are proper. I have tried to make mistake in my rules by adding fields that are not existing still I get no validation errors at all.
Scenario: Form gets validated fine, fields are validated as they should be. When I hit submit after entering valid input (every field is valid), the values get in $model->attributes get just as they should be. But when it comes to validating that model in my controller, $model->validate() always return false.
Here is my code for workaround:
My View File (_form.php):
<div class=''>
<?php $form = ActiveForm::begin([
'options' => [
'enctype' => 'multipart/form-data'
],
'id' => 'create-company-form',
'layout' => 'horizontal',
'fieldConfig' => [
'template' => "{label}{input}{error}",
'labelOptions' => ['class' => 'control-label'],
],
]); ?>
<?php echo $form->field($model, 'name')->textInput(['autofocus' => true, 'placeholder'=> \Yii::t('main', 'Name')]); ?>
<?php echo $form->field($model, 'idcompanytype')->dropDownList(CompanyType::listCompanyTypesDropDown(), ['prompt'=> \Yii::t('main', 'Select Company Type')]); ?>
<?php echo $form->field($model, 'datecreation')->textInput(['type'=>'text','format'=>'php:Y-m-d', 'placeholder'=> \Yii::t('main', 'Enter Date')]); ?>
<?php echo $form->field($model, 'phone')->textInput(['placeholder'=> \Yii::t('main', 'Phone 1')]); ?>
<?php echo $form->field($model, 'phone2')->textInput(['placeholder'=> \Yii::t('main', 'Phone 2')]); ?>
<?php echo $form->field($model, 'email')->textInput(['type'=>'email', 'placeholder'=> \Yii::t('main', 'Email Address')]); ?>
<?php echo $form->field($model, 'email2')->textInput(['type'=>'email', 'placeholder'=> \Yii::t('main', 'Email Address 2')]); ?>
<?php echo $form->field($model, 'link')->textInput(['placeholder'=> \Yii::t('main', 'Link 1')]); ?>
<?php echo $form->field($model, 'link2')->textInput(['placeholder'=> \Yii::t('main', 'Link 2')]); ?>
<?php echo $form->field($model, 'identification')->textInput(['placeholder'=> \Yii::t('main', 'Identification')]); ?>
<?php echo $form->field($model, 'identification2')->textInput(['placeholder'=> \Yii::t('main', 'Identification 2')]); ?>
<?php echo $form->field($model, 'isdefault')->checkbox([
// 'template' => "<div class=\"checkbox checkbox-success\">{input} {label}</div>
<div class=\"col-lg-8\">{error}</div></div>",
// remove last div and validation gets applied
]) ?>
<?php echo $form->field($model, 'form_image')->fileInput([
'class'=>'form_image_field',
'data-allowed_extensions' => \Yii::$app->params['allowedImageExtensions'],
'data-allowed_MimeTypes' => \Yii::$app->params['allowedImageMimeTypes'],
'data-allowed_file_size' => \Yii::$app->params['allowedFileSize'],
'data-upload_url' => Url::toRoute(['document/upload-company-logo']),
]); ?>
<?php echo $form->field($model, 'image')->hiddenInput(['class'=>'form-control file_name_field'])->label(false);?>
<div class="form-group">
<div class='col-12 col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-md-8 offset-md-2 col-lg-6 offset-lg-3 col-xl-4 offset-xl-4'>
<?php echo Html::submitButton(\Yii::t('main', 'Save'), ['class' => 'btn btn-success waves-effect waves-light m-r-10', 'name' => 'create-button']) ?>
<?php echo Html::a(\Yii::t('main', 'Cancel'), ['/company'], ['class' => 'btn btn-dark waves-effect waves-light']); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>
</div>
My Model Class (rules(), beforeValidate() methods):
public $idcompany;
public $name;
public $idcompanytype;
public $datecreation;
public $identification;
public $identification2;
public $phone;
public $phone2;
public $email;
public $email2;
public $link;
public $link2;
public $isdefault;
public $created;
public $updated;
public $image;
public $form_image;
/**
* (non-PHPdoc)
* @see \yii\base\Model::rules()
*/
public function rules()
{
return [
[['name', 'idcompanytype', 'datecreation', 'identification', 'email', 'phone', 'link'], 'required'],
[['image', 'name', 'link', 'link2', 'identification', 'identification2', 'phone', 'phone2'], 'string', 'max' => 100],
[['idcompany', 'idcompanytype', 'created', 'updated'], 'integer'],
[['datecreation1'], 'date', 'format'=>'php:Y-m-d'],
[['email', 'email2', ], 'email'],
// [['isdefault'], 'boolean'],
[['form_image'], 'file', 'skipOnEmpty'=>true, 'extensions' => \Yii::$app->params['allowedImageExtensions'], 'mimeTypes' => \Yii::$app->params['allowedImageMimeTypes']],
];
}
public function beforeValidate()
{
if(null == $this->idcompany){ // case: record does not exists
$this->created = time();
}
$this->updated = time();
}
Controller Class - actionCreate():
$model = new Company();
if( $model->load(\Yii::$app->request->post())){ // postback callback
if( $model->validate() ){
if( Company::create($model) ){
\Yii::$app->session->setFlash('success', \Yii::t('main', ConstantHelper::TEXT_CREATE_SUCCESS));
return $this->redirect(['/company']);
}
else{
// throw exception or whatever
}
}
else{
echo '<pre>';
print_r($model['attributes']); //I get all attributes in attributes array but no error at all
exit;
return $this->render('create', ['model' => $model]);
}
}
else{
return $this->render('create', ['model' => $model]);
}
I have no idea why I get no validation at all. Please let me know If I'm missing something.
Note: I am extending my model with \yii\base\model.
