Hi,
I have a form with a repeatable element (using
HTML::FormFu::Model::DBIC) representing an interviewee that lets me
edit the interviewee's firstname and lastname columns. I also want a
link to appear next to each one that lets you edit the rest of the
details for an interviewee (like href="/interviewee/edit/[id]" ).
What is the best way to generate that link?
I was guessing plugin. My thought was that I could attach the plugin
to the Hidden field that gets the id. Within the plugin, I would look
at the id field, create the link, and add the link to the end of the
HTML that generates the hidden form field. (Kludgy, but I just wanted
to get something working). I don't even know if I can do that from a
plugin, but here's what I tried so far:
Using the code from StashValid, I tried to put a warning with the
value of the field. However, 'valid' never returned true and the
param was always undefined (whether I asked for valid() or not).
Here is the plugin:
package HTML::FormFu::Plugin::Mike;
use strict;
use base 'HTML::FormFu::Plugin';
sub post_process {
my ($self) = @_;
my $form = $self->form;
my $name = $self->parent->nested_name;
warn "name is [$name]";
if ( $form->valid($name) ) {
warn "val is ". $form->param($name);
}
else {
warn "not valid!";
}
}
1;
Here is how I attached it to the field
elements:
- type: Hidden
name: interviewee_id
plugins:
- Mike
The field is getting written out correctly with a value, like this:
<input name="interviewees_1.interviewee_id" type="hidden" value="4" />
The 'name' gets warned out correctly:
name is [interviewees_1.interviewee_id]
but it's followed by
not valid!
(or, if I take out the condition, an uninitialized value warning).
I don't really know what to try next.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.
mike
