Custom Form Element tutorial wanted
Hey everyone.
I create form classes that extend Zend_Form for my models. When I want to create a form element I typeWhat I want to do is create a custom form element for like a phone number so I would typeCode:$company_name = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('company_name');and when I displayed the form for that element it would show [HTML](<input type="text" size="2" name="phone_number[]">) <input type="text" size="2" name="phone_number[]"> - <input type="text" size="3" name="phone_number[]"> ext. <input type="text" size="3" name="phone_number[]">[/HTML] Are there any tutorials out there that would show me how to do this? Also I want to place it in a nice folder in my application so I can reuse it in any of my other applications.Code:$phone_number = new Kwista_Zend_Form_Element_Phone_Number('phone_number');

Did you solve the problem?
@cabofixe:
I'm just wondering if you solved the problem (and if; how :-D)

I think you would need two files, My_Form_Element_Phonenumber and My_View_Helper_FormPhonenumber.
Code:<?php class My_Form_Element_Phonenumber extends Zend_Form_Element { public $helper = 'formPhonenumber'; public function setValue($value) { if(is_array($value)) { @list($first, $second, $third, $ext) = $value; // saving comma-delimited for simplicity, save however you want // this is NOT the display $value = sprintf('%s,%s,%s,%s', $first, $second, $third, $ext); } return parent::setValue($value); } }This is untested, loosely based on some of my working code.Code:<? require_once 'Zend/View/Helper/FormElement.php'; class My_View_Helper_Phonenumber extends Zend_View_Helper_FormElement { public function formPhonenumber($name, $value = null, $attribs = null) { $info = $this->_getInfo($name, $value, $attribs); extract($info); // name, value, attribs, options, listsep, disable $value=$this->view->escape($value); // retrieve from comma-delimited list list($first, second, $third, $ext) = split(',', $value); $html = '(<input type="text" size=2' . ' name="' . $this->view->escape($name) . '[]"' . ' value="' . $first . '">)' $html = ' <input type="text" size=2' . ' name="' . $this->view->escape($name) . '[]"' . ' value="' . $second . '">' $html = ' - <input type="text" size=3' . ' name="' . $this->view->escape($name) . '[]"' . ' value="' . $third . '">' $html = ' ext. <input type="text" size=3' . ' name="' . $this->view->escape($name) . '[]"' . ' value="' . $ext . '">' return $html; } }
