Saving into the multi form
2 November 2010 at 2:00am
Hi there,
I've used the Multi form module in the past once before but an earlier version. I'm just looking through the docs http://doc.silverstripe.org/modules:multiform and there doesn't seem to be a proper explanation of how to save the data for each step of the form, instead it just talks about the "Member" and "Organisation" dataobjects.
I've been using this
if($step->class == 'StartCaseStep') {
$StartCase = new StartCase();
$data = $step->loadData();
if($data){
$StartCase->update($data);
$StartCase->write();
}
}...but to no avail
Any help here is greatly appreciated
Thanks

Sorry to be going on about this again but...
Anyone got any idea when the documentation is going to be extended to include how to "saveInto" with this form? I noticed it on the to do list but I'm getting really curious.
I can't seem to get the steps to save because I'm getting a "Fatal error: Call to a member function saveInto() on a non-object" which suggests to me that it cannot find the table to write into.
When I browse the database using phpMyAdmin I noticed that the class name and the table name are different? I have named the class names with the word "step" appended, eg "FirstStep" but in the database the table name will be "First". Could this be the conflict?
Thanks

Hi Harley,
did you get to the bottom of the error?Is the example code in your first post in the form action function?
saveInto takes a maped object and auto populates the dataobjects fields.From the api "Save the contents of this form into the given data object." http://api.silverstripe.org/2.4/forms/core/Form.html
Here is a basic example I've been working on
/**
* This function is called when the user submits the form.
*/
function UpdateAction($data, $form) {
if($member = Member::currentUser()) {
$form->saveInto($member);
$member->write();
}
Director::redirectBack();
}You can either use the form object to saveInto or use the dataobjects update funtion
$DataObject = get_one('DataObject');
$DataObject->update($data);
$form->saveInto($DataObject);
$DataObject->write();
