Frontend News

Hi André,
Back again, after a little break ;-) : it was really necessary!

I've been testing the last SVN version:

When :
- a input error happen in FE (i.e forgotten mandatory field or bad format) and the page is reloaded with the message "Input error!"
- When a FE user edit one of his news

- Archive date
The archive date is now OK, it is well kept. WELL DONE !

- Categories :
Unfortunately categories are still reseted after input error or edition

- Upload fields :
You said "The upload fields are not manipulable, they are handled by the browser itself (security reason) and the is no way to hold the value, so the user has always to readd his image / file when an error occures. Maybe the whole server-side validation process could be done by JavaScript / AJAX in the future - this would be a modern way to validate the user's input."

I understand it for new news submission, but I was thinking something can be done for edition of existing news, as on the edit form the actual file path is displayed (Current file: filepath)

If the FEUSER do not reselect the file on is computer, it leads to "Input error!"

It's could be unconvenient for FEuser as they may have delete or lost the original attached files...

Greetings,
Laurent

I haven' found much time yet to test...but
I have check the last SVN version, and I am afraid Bug #27912 is not totally solved yet . Sorry
I mean, for example (with categories and attached file filed mandatory):

If I create a new news, and I forgot to fill a mandatory field, the page is reloaded with Input error" message,
but the previously selected categories are not kept, as well as attached file.
A related issue is happening when editing a news , previously selected categories are not kept, and attached file is dipslayed but if not reselected give input error.

Greetings,
Laurent

Hi Laurent,

I could not reproduce your category problem, in every case the selected ones are keeped! Maybe your TS has changed, do you adopt the TS setup which comes along with the extension?

Upload problem:
Did you setup the file upload as required field? In this case the validation process could be wrong in edit mode ... In case of a new record and an error, the selected file is cleared - there is no way to reselected it, this is what I meant at the beginning: It's handled by the browser and you could not reach the upload field, only the content after submit the form.

Hi André

You can see it online :

-Go to
URL: http://detra.ifsttar.fr/positions-seeker/dashboard/

-log in
Login/password : testas / steiling

I've been created news (wich are called CV on this site) with your test account

-Go to the page where you news are listed
http://detra.ifsttar.fr/positions-seeker/your-cvs/

-Click on a news title

-Click on the edit icon

You can see that in the edit form categories are not kept.
The file previously selected but is displayed but :
If you just save a this point :

Input error!
Please fill in field Select all the matching categories (ctrl+click).
Please fill in field Select your CV (pdf format only).

I use the TS from the last SVN version

Upload problem: Did you setup the file upload as required field?
Yes In this case the validation process could be wrong in edit mode ...
Is there any way to fix this? I really need the file upload as required field

In case of a new record and an error, the selected file is cleared - there is no way to reselected it, this is what I meant at the >> beginning: It's handled by the browser and you could not reach the upload field, only the content after submit the form.
Ok for this

Have a nice day
Laurent

It's very curios ...

It seems that the userFunc doesn't return the array-key "selected" and so your categories are not re-selected in edit mode. Did you really leave the TS config untouched, so the following setup is active:

category {
[...] # @description Don't touch: Parameter is set directly by the plugin and predicates on the FlexForm category settings
special.userFunc.where = PHP_VALUE

1. @description Don't touch: Parameter is set directly by the plugin and holds an array with selected items for edit mode
   special.userFunc.selected = PHP_VALUE
   [...]

Please edit the userFunc (lib/class.user_selectionMenu.php) at line 113 as follow:
t3lib_div::debug($arrMenu);

Go to the frontend and edit a news: It outputs a T3 debug message, a table with all values of every selection field. Please let me know, what you get ...

Hi Laurent,

the validation of the upload fields is solved by the new version in SVN. I had to change the HTML template, so you have to insert the following field into the form:
<input type="hidden" name="###PREFIX_ID###[uid]" value="###VALUE_UID###" />
