Hi there,
while using eForm 1.4.6 in MODX 1.0.15 I encountered the following problem.
There is a placeholder in my eForm template which is replaced by a bunch of radio buttons using the eformOnBeforeFormParse event. The problem is, that whenever a validation error occurs, all checked radio buttons weren't checked anymore.
The template looks like this:
<form id="test">
<input type="text" name="fullname" eform="Name::1">
[+placeholder+]
</form>
The function that is called by eformOnBeforeFormParse looks like this:
function makeRadios(&$fields,&$templates) {
for($i=1;$i<=31;$i++) {
$ph .= '<input type="radio" name="day['.$i.']" id="day_'.$i.'_A" value="A"><label for="day_'.$i.'_A">A</label>';
$ph .= '<input type="radio" name="day['.$i.']" id="day_'.$i.'_B" value="B"><label for="day_'.$i.'_B">B</label>';
}
$templates['tpl'] = str_replace('[+placeholder+]',$ph,$templates['tpl']);
return true;
}
which renders the radios correctly as
<input type="radio" name="day[1]" id="day_1_A" value="A"><label for="day_1_A">A</label>
<input type="radio" name="day[1]" id="day_1_B" value="B"><label for="day_1_B">B</label>
<input type="radio" name="day[2]" id="day_2_A" value="A"><label for="day_2_A">A</label>
<input type="radio" name="day[2]" id="day_2_B" value="B"><label for="day_2_B">B</label>
...
I tried to set the checked-attribute inside the makeRadios-function, but eForm removes all checked-attributes while parsing. Than I tried to set the value of $fields['day'][1] manually via an eformOnBeforeFormParse-function, but again no radios were checked.
Now the trick. In a function called by eformOnBeforeFormParse I have to set a value to $fields['day1'] instead of $fields['day'][1].
function setValues(&$fields) {
if(is_array($fields['day'])) {
foreach($fields['day'] as $i => $v) {
$fields['day'.$i] = $v;
}
}
return true;
}
So it was a problem with having square brackets in the name-attribute of my radio buttons. Obviously eForm changes "day[1]" to "day1".
