I have made a front end form for Craft CMS 3, using the Guest Entries plugin, to allow visitors to submit images (and some additional info) to the website. Works fine, also for multiple files. I now want to also save some fields to the uploaded assets (the fields are already added to the asset type in Craft). For example let the user pick a category and input a custom title (to ease the burden for the moderator, as there's a lot of images to categorize).
As of now, I am submitting the form with this input field:
<input type="file" name="fields[fieldname][]" accept="image/*" id="fields-fieldname-1" multiple="">
Multiple assets/images are now submitted to this field in a new entry. Ideally, I would like to use the same method, but with some additional values for each asset. I tried making a text field with a name like "fields[fieldname][additonalFieldName]" etc. but nothing seems to work.
My guess is I have to make some custom plugin controller to do this, somehow. So my question is: Is there some other (simpler) way to to this, or if not, how to start making the controller? Most similar controller examples I find through google are for craft2, not craft3.

Here's what I'd like to do but not sure how to. I have a form that's like a typical doctor/school form, where the form has 2 sections: [1] Section 1 at the top is for user (with standard fields like First Name, Last Name etc.), and [2] Section 2 at the bottom is for Admin/Office use only (with fields like Reviewed by, Approved/Not Approved etc.)
what I was able to do is to process Section 1 where I got ALL users' submission and display all their data on a webpage using a RepeaterWithCustomQuery. That's pretty basic. But in order to do what described above, I guess that I'll need to pull the submitted data and populate them back to Section 1 of the form (maybe as readonly data at this time) and then the Office/Admin staff can fill in Section 2.
I hope I made sense and hope that someone can point me to the right direction. I only use Portal Engine, no access to file system or backend.
I think I understand your issue you want to have some sort of an editor for biz form data. Similar to what you have in the admin. And the problem is that you don't have access to backend. :( Such thing is available for custom table data (there is web part), but not for biz form data. There is no ready to use web part. Here is old topic on that https://devnet.kentico.com/questions/how-to-edit-the-information-of-a-record-using-the-bizform-layout.
you want to have something like the admin page for editing form records:
/CMSModules/BizForms/Tools/BizForm_Edit_EditRecord.aspx?formID=7&formRecordID=1
but customized :(. I'd say without back end access the only options I see:
Create a new role "Biz Form Editor" (or use existing) that has rights only to edit biz
form data. So all your people who do "validation" part must have a
Kentico account with role "Biz Form Editor".
Add link above to your repeater with appropriate record id.
P.S. There are special code names for alternative forms (https://docs.kentico.com/k8/configuring-kentico/creating-alternative-forms/code-names-of-automatically-used-alternative-forms). If you create an alternative form with special name update the system will automatically load it when you edit the record.
Not sure that I understood correctly your question. But what you need is to use alternative forms. So the idea is that one form is for "registration" and the 2nd one for "validation".
So in your registration form you show only firstName, lastName etc and you don't show "validation" fields. In the validation form you show firstName, lastname etc as label and show textboxes for validation fields.
I want to make a website that will allow the user to input the zipcode in which they are looking for houses and that will notify me of what their search criteria is (such as homes for $250K in the ##### zip code). What would be the best way to start this project?
You could create a form which would ask for the user to fill in their details and when they submit you receive an email with their details.
You can look into simple bootstrap form and use PHP to implement it
Have a look at this example
Simple Form Example
You could create a form that gives price range option.
-$50,000-$100,000
-$100,000-$150,000
-$150,000-$200,000
-$200,000-$250,000
-$250,000-$300,000
-$300,000+
Then create an input field with validation applied that checks for a certain amount of characters and that the input is integers to help with span.
Finally a submit button that you can set up to email you the results or if you are working with a database you can send it there and monitor it or create a page that displays the requests you get. The email structure would be pretty easy to set up.
This can all be done with simple php and html.
I have, what I think is, a simple feature that I am trying to add to my Orchard (1.6) site, but I can't find any tutorials or instructions on how to do it. I have a custom type called "Office" and each office has a custom field called "State" indicating which state the office is in. I actually designed my Offices as a custom part in code with specific properties such as State on it, but I "think" it's the same as if I added the State through the Admin interface as a field on the Office content part.
Now, I can create a basic projection to show all the offices with a simple filter of "Content with type Office" to display all offices. However, what I want to do now is to have a drop down list at the top of the page that says "Filter by: [-SELECT STATE-]" with a list of all 50 states. When the user selects a state, the page should refresh and display just the offices in that state.
This is where I'm stuck. Should I do this through the code, or can I do this through the Admin UI? If through the code, should I model it after the Orchard.Search module (which I tried to do, but I am completely lost). If I can do it through the UI, do I use projections? If so, do I have to create 50 separate projections (one for each state)? That seems extremely time consuming to create and maintain.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
FYI, the site at http://ktowneric.com/listings/search (which uses Orchard) is very similar what I am looking for, and the developer stated he used projections, but I can't seem to figure out how he did it.
You can definitely use a projection. If you notice when you use the search function on the page you referenced, the inputs are formed into query string values. You can use tokens to grab the values from query strings to use in your projection filter. For example, if you're using fields as you stated, then you just add a filter for that field and in the value field use {Request.QueryString:State}. Or, replace "State" with whatever key you're using for the query string value.
That solves your projection issue. You will need to build a search form that would look something like this...
<form action="/search-results" method="Get">
<select name="State">
<option value="OH">Ohio</option>
...all the states...
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>
"/search-results" could be a projection page or any content that has the projection widget present. You could build the form as a widget that you can place somewhere, or for testing purposes, you could just paste this html into an html widget to try it out.
How to implement Attribute to find his own name in the admin area in Opencart : Products - Attributes - Attributes? Is that there is a separate field and simply by driving into the field and displays the name of the attribute is an attribute, as usual searching for items in the admin by name, but only with attribute
It's hard to understand what you are asking, but if you are trying to use attributes for products then you must first define them at catalog>attributes>attributes.
To List attributes in the Products tab you will need edit these files
admin>view>template>catalog>product_form.tpl
admin>controller>catalog>product.php
If your understanding of PHP or Opencart isn't very strong it will help you to copy data from the attribute.php controller to the product.php controller.
As for the search function, this is something I haven't done before but you could try using the search function on the front of the website as reference.
I recommend working through this as best you can then asking more questions if or when you get stuck.
*Update
Ok so since HTML is your strenth it will be smartest to start from there. Open any of these files (the ones that have the data you need).
admin>view>template>catalog>attribute_form.tpl
admin>view>template>catalog>attribute_group_form.tpl
admin>view>template>catalog>attribute_group_list.tpl
admin>view>template>catalog>attribute_list.tpl
Then work backwards with what you see. The tpl will show variables that look like $attribute, track these back to
admin>controller>catalog>attribute.php
admin>controller>catalog>attribute_group.php
And you will see how all the code is used to pull the data from the model and format it if necessary.
I am new to Drupal and trying to get hand on it.
I am not able to find how to have the following functionality on my site. If anyone can help me out, it would be great for me.
I need to have a form that will take 2 fields one of which is supposed to be the login id(how to retrive login id?). I need to store this and display in tabular form also on a new page. Lastly I want to provide an edit form for this functionality using the same form but its use will be like whenever a person adds value in this form, it checks in Table1, if entry is not present it adds in table, else it updates the table.
Apart from this I need to store all the updations in a seperate table or something like that, so that I am able to see the history of all the changes
Eg:
ADD Form:
Fields:
- LoginID
- Phone number
Show Table Page(Tabular with the stored information)
Edit Form(same as above form):
Fields:
- LoginID
- Phone number
Now If I add my phone number to this it will get stored. Later when I try to modify my number it should update in initial table but also store the history of old and new entry in a separate table so that I can perform varies options on it.
I also dont know how to add/enable form fields in drupal. :(
Thanks
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but I think the Computed Field module might be helpful. The module allows you to define custom hooks that run when a node is saved.
If you're not creating nodes and are using something like the Webform module, you should be able to write a module to process the data.
