QuickForm

Bertrand and others, How would I go about installing html_quickform when I do not have the ability to use the pear installer? Thanks Charles On Thursday, March 6, 2003, at 09:29 AM, Bertrand Mansion wrote:

It's probably worth wrapping DataObjects and adding a toArray() or a toQF() method to the new base class - this may be simpler function toQF($key) { foreach($this->_get_table() as $k=>$v) $ret["{$key}[{$k}]"] = $this->$k; } return $ret; } myForm = & new UserForm('update', $dataObject->toQuickForm('user'));

Hi Alan, Maybe a generic toArray() method would be nice ? ;) Bertrand Mansion Mamasam

Hi, I'm trying to integrate Quickform and DB_DataOjbect for a simple UserManager, the problem is how to feed a DB_DataOjbect object to the setDefaults() method in Quickform, so the form can be pre-populated. The form is setup so all the attributes are elements of the array 'user':

    user[username]
    user[password], etc

so the whole user entity can be cast to an object easily

    $oUser = (object)$_POST['user']

Any DB_DataOjbect will know this is very handy for updating entities:

    $modUser->setFrom($oUser);

The problem I'm having is that a major transform of the entity is necessary to get it into a format compantible with QF. Apologies in advance for the following code, there's probably an easier way of doing this ;-) The question is, is there any interest in creating a setDefaultsFromDataObject() method in Quickform? Two such great packages it seems a shame not to use them in conjunction. cheers, Demian
