Select Multiple

[chucka]

Looking into building some multiselect boxes with DooForm but am finding its missing the ability to mark options as selected on creation. Am I correct? If I am I'd like to request this addition. Here is my field from my form:

Code: Select all

            'components' => array('select', array(
               'required' => false,
               'attributes' => array('multiple'=>'mulitple'),
               'multioptions' => $this->data['components'],
               'wrapper' => 'div',
               'label' => 'Components in Category:'
            )),

Maybe I didn't explain this well enough. I'd like to make a dooForm which contains multiple select box.

Example:

Code: Select all

<select multiple="multiple">
<option value="48">Item 1</option>
<option value="32">Item 2</option>
<option value="19" selected="selected">Item 3</option>
<option value="3" selected="selected">Item 4</option>
<option value="59">Item 5</option>
<option value="46">Item 6</option>
<option value="27" selected="selected">Item 7</option>
</select>


Can this be done? I'm looking to use it with this: http://www.quasipartikel.at/multiselect/index.html

To make this work and be compatible the creation style for the other Multi optioned form inputs I've thrown this code together and would like to contribute it to DooForm.php. What do my fellow Doo'ers think?

Code: Select all

            //MultiSelect, a hybrid of select and MultiCheckbox for mulitple select lists
            case 'MultiSelect':
               $elementHtml = '<'.$elementWrapper.' id="'.$element.'-element" '.$elementRequred.'><select '.$elementAttributes.' multiple="multiple" name="'.$element.'[]">';
               if (isset($k[1]['multioptions']) && (count($k[1]['multioptions'] > 0))) {
                  foreach ($k[1]['multioptions'] as $optionValue => $optionName) {
                     if (is_array($optionName)) { // if its array make option groups
                        $elementHtml .= '<optgroup label="'.$optionValue.'">';
                        foreach ($optionName as $v => $n) {
                           $selected = (isset($k[1]['value']) && (in_array($v, $k[1]['value'])))?'selected="selected"':'';
                           $elementHtml .= '<option value="'.$v.'" '.$selected.'>'.$n.'</option>';
                        }
                        $elementHtml .= '</optgroup>';
                     } else {
                        $selected = (isset($k[1]['value']) && (in_array($optionValue, $k[1]['value'])))?'selected="selected"':'';
                        $elementHtml .= '<option value="'.$optionValue.'" '.$selected.'>'.$optionName.'</option>';
                     }
                  }
               }
               $elementHtml .= '</select></'.$elementWrapper.'>';
               break;


and the code for line 241to add MulitSelect

Code: Select all

         // handle values for all fields except select, checkbox, radio, multiselect, multiradio, multicheckbox...
         if (($k[0] != 'select') && ($k[0] != 'MultiCheckbox') && ($k[0] != 'MultiRadio') && ($k[0] != 'MultiSelect') && ($k[0] != 'checkbox') && ($k[0] != 'textarea')) {
            if (isset($elementValues[$element])) {
               $elementAttributes .= ' value="'.htmlspecialchars($elementValues[$element]).'"';
            }
         }

I think it's nice. Not sure what others think about this. Milos, if you read this, do you see any possible conflict/problems with the existing DooForm source ?

Hey, I came back, I added MultiSelect to DooForm, tnx chucka I totaly forgot about it

[chucka]

Sweet!

This is how I'm using it in one of my DooForm calls just as an example.

Code: Select all

'components' => array('MultiSelect', array(
   'required' => false,
   'attributes' => array('style'=>'width: 600px; height: 300px;'),
   'value' => (array_key_exists('selectedComponents',$this->data)) ? $this->data['selectedComponents'] : null,
   'multioptions' => $this->data['components'],
   'wrapper' => 'div',
   'label' => 'Components in Category:'
)),
