Re: QuickForm using freeze() as a preview

Hi, Charles Kline wrote:

My one other related question is this. My form has a group of buttons "submit" and "reset". I would like to hide the reset button after the form has been submitted. Is there a way to removeElement() on the button in the process function? Or is this better done with a conditional in the section of code where I declare the group of buttons?

I am not sure why are you mentioning process function, since you will most certainly *not* output the form after you call that. I'd suggest the following script structure: // build form here if ($form->validate()) { if (/* second submit token present? */) {

    // process form
    // do a redirect

} else {

    // add second submit token
    // remove unnecessary buttons
    // freeze form

} } // output form here Of course you can also add necessary buttons / group right before you output the form, since they don't affect validation.

You usually post the form by clicking a submit button.

This much I understand. Let me clarify... once the form has been submitted and frozen() if the submit button is then clicked again, how do I check for this so I can process the data and not freeze() on the second submit. Is this more clear?

$hidden =& $form->addElement('hidden', 'is_this_actually_a_second_submit'); $hidden->setValue('this is exactly the case!');
