Hello,
I'm trying to render a simple form with Ajax for sending queries from
the website. The form is in "static" page called "Contacts.ctp" and
placed in "/views/pages/".
So here is the content of the page:
..::code_snippet::..
<?php
$niceHead->js('prototype.js');
$niceHead->js('scriptaculous.js');
$niceHead->js('new_window.js');
print '<h1>'.__('contacts_h1', true).'</h1>';
print '<p>'.__('contacts_p1', true).'</p>';
print '<div id="ajax_updater" style="display: none; float: none;
margin: auto 45%;">';
print $html->image('ajax_update.gif', array('class'=>'center'));
print '</div>';
$this->render('/queries/send', 'empty');
?>
..::end_of_code::..
The form I'm rendering is in "/views/queries/send" and the code is:
..::code_snippet::..
<?php
print $ajax->div('ajax_updater', array('style'=>'display: none; float:
none; margin: auto 45%;'));
print $html->image('ajax_update.gif', array('class'=>'center'));
print $ajax->divEnd('ajax_updater');
print $ajax->div('query');
print $ajax->form(array('action'=>'/queries/send', 'post',
'update'=>'query'));
print $form->input('Query.name', array('type'=>'text',
'maxlength'=>50, 'length'=>10, 'label'=>__('Name', true),
'error'=>array('required'=>__('Validation_required', true),
'maxlength'=>__('Validation_length', true))));
print $form->input('Query.email', array('type'=>'text',
'maxlength'=>50, 'length'=>10, 'label'=>__('Email', true),
'error'=>array('required'=>__('Validation_required', true),
'permitted'=>__('Validation_permitted', true),
'maxlength'=>__('Validation_length', true))));
print $form->input('Query.phone', array('type'=>'text',
'maxlength'=>50, 'length'=>10, 'label'=>__('Phone', true),
'error'=>array('permitted'=>__('Validation_permitted', true),
'maxlength'=>__('Validation_length', true))));
print $form->input('Query.text', array('type'=>'textarea',
'cols'=>50, 'rows'=>10, 'label'=>__('Text', true),
'error'=>array('required'=>__('Validation_required', true),
'maxlength'=>__('Validation_length', true))));
print $ajax->submit('Submit', array('url'=>'/queries/send',
'update'=>'query', 'indicator'=>'ajax_updater'));
print $ajax->divEnd('query');
?>
..::end_of_code::..
As you can see the form is pretty simple - it doesn't run any SQL
queries, just validate fields and send an email. Controller action
responsible for email sending and validation is this:
..::code_snippet::..
function send($id=null){
$this->layout='empty';
if(!empty($this->data['Query'])){
$this->Query->set($this->data['Query']);
if($this->Query->validates()){
if(!empty($id)){
$this->Query->bindModel(array('belongsTo'=>array('Offer')));
$this->Query->Offer->set('id', $id);
if($this->Query->Offer->exists()){
$this->data['Query']['about']=$id;
}
}
$this->set('Query', $this->data['Query']);
$this->Email->to='[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$this->Email->replyTo=$this->data['Query']['email'];
$this->Email->from=$this->data['Query']['email'];
$this->Email->subject='Query from website';
$this->Email->sendAs='text';
$this->Email->template='default';
$this->Email->delivery='smtp';
$this->Email->smtpOptions=array('host'=>'mail.domain.com',
'port'=>25, 'timeout'=>15, 'username'=>'[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
'password'=>'password');
if($this->Email->send()){var_dump('EMAIL OK');
//$this->set('success', true);
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Successful_query'));
}
else{var_dump('EMAIL PROBLEM');
$this->render('/queries/send', 'empty');
}
}
else{var_dump('DATA INVALID');
$this->render('/queries/send', 'empty');
}
}
else{var_dump('DATA EMPTY');
$this->render('send', 'empty');
}
}
..::end_of_code::..
So the problem is that when I load page Contacts the form is displayed
correctly, but when click on Submit button of the form, the progress
indicator (id="ajax_update") is displayed and the form hides, i.e.
doesn't render with status messages from controller action.
I added some var_dump() lines in controller for debugging purposes and
they're shown in Contacts page but form doesn't render actually. For
example if form doesn't validate, Contacts page receives "DATA
INVALID", but form is not displayed.
Am I missing something or may be doing some wrong .........
Thank you for support in advance.
Regards!
P.S. I have development server where this code works fine, but doesn't
render on hosting servers, so may be there's some issue with
configuration settings may be .........
