Awesome!

A new version for CI2 with bugfixes and it’s both in sparks and on GitHub.
Can’t wait to get my hands dirty!

Just released a new version 2.0.1 with two minor fixes. Please upgrade!

Great job Mac, use this in every project I build now! The only thing missing for me is the ability to add a hint to an entry so it can be displayed - not even sure if this is technically possible.

I had a skim through some of the 68 pages of this forum post but I couldn’t see anything. So can anyone give any hints as to how to ajaxify this library. I usually write my own forms and use a jquery validation system first for things like empty fields and then an ajax/json response from a controller for db related errors (like user name already exists). I can see how I could get the client side real time validation working by using jquery selectors on different classes. But what i guess I am asking is how do I hijack the submit and make it json the errors I need? I haven’t actually tried it yet but I just thought I would ask first in case anyone has done this already.

** Feature Request **

Hey Frank,

Thanks for an awesome library, I’ve used it for a while now and the latest version is even better.

I use Smarty templates so the get_array() method is really useful, I also use the Inline Error option so I can output the form field and any error message with just one Smarty tag. The only missing piece is the label…

Here’s my request: Could the label string also be included with the data when the get_array() option is used? Perhaps this could be optional. This would naturally include the label_prefix and label_suffix options from the config.
Essentially, I’d like to output label, form field and error message as one Smarty tag.

What do think? Is it feasible?

Many thanks,
Bob

p.s. I’ve donated a couple of times now so I hope you enjoy the beers

Absolutely. Let me include this with the next release. I will have to do some testing as I never use the get_array() method myself. But it should be done easily.

I very much appreciate this. So thank you! Any donation or even kind words make me happy and motivate me to keep the library up to date.

Hello. I like your libraly so much. It help me a lot. I found some bug that you should fixed in 2.0.1.
I use checkgroup and radiogroup. I cannot pass attributes such as disabled=“disabled” to <input type=“radio”>  so I read a code and I found.

Thank you for your work. If I finish my work and collect money, I will donate to you too. (I hope I can finish it too.)

Hi,
I want to code a user questionnaire system, where the admin can build a survey form from parts, as question types : textfields, radio selection, checkbox selection. Any idea how to use this lib and realize with my idea?

To clearly see what I think about: http://experiments.botsko.net/tests/formbuilder/
Of course a simpler version of this.

Thanks

EDIT : i solved my question writing a simple survery system.

If I set empty string for radiogroup checked value as in the example, my the first radio button is checked at the rendered view, though..

Suggestions?

If I set custom error message for radiogroup or checkgroup, I get following errors:

Message: Array to string conversion
Filename: libraries/Form.php
Line Number: 2658

Message: Undefined property: Form::$Array
Filename: libraries/Form.php
Line Number: 2658

No problem with text, or textarea, though..
