I have a custom web form form, how do I submit to a DataObjectManager table?

You can just use $form->saveInto($dataobject). Just make sure you have the correct foreign keys set and everything and you should be fine.
I got the first form working, now on my UserRegistrationForm, I see the Submited Data in the Database, but not in CMS
Here is the DataObject
class UserApplication extends DataObject {
static $db = array(
'FirstName' => 'Text',
'Surname' => 'Text',
'Email' => 'Text',
'CompanyName' => 'Text',
'CompanyType' => "Text",
'CompanyURL' => 'Text',
'HomePhone' => 'Text',
'Address' => 'Text',
'AddressLine2' => 'Text',
'City' => 'Text',
'Country' => 'Text',
'TaxIDNumber' => 'Text',
'Distributor' => 'Text',
'SalesRep' => 'Text',
'Notes' => 'Text',
'ApprovedMember' => 'Boolean',
'Password' => 'Text'
);
static $has_one = array(
'RegistrationPage' => 'RegistrationPage',
);
public function getCMSFields_forPopup()
{
$companyTypeList = array(
'Retail' => 'Retail',
'Online' => 'Online',
'Distributor' => 'Distributor',
'Press' => 'Press'
);
return new FieldSet (
new CheckBoxField('ApprovedMember', 'Approved Member'),
new TextField('FirstName', 'First Name'),
new TextField('Surname','Last Name'),
new EmailField('Email'),
new TextField('CompanyName','Company Name'),
new DropdownField('CompanyType','Company Type',$companyTypeList),
new TextField('CompanyURL','Company Website'),
new TextField('HomePhone','Company Phone'),
new TextField('Address','Address'),
new TextField('AddressLine2','Address Line 2'),
new TextField('City','City'),
new TextField('Country','Country'),
new TextField('TaxIDNumber','TaxIDNumber'),
new TextField('Distributor','Distributor'),
new TextField('SalesRep','Sales Rep'),
new TextareaField('Notes','Description'),
new ConfirmedPasswordField('Password')
);
}
}
And the Registration Page
class RegistrationPage extends Page
{
static $has_many = array (
'UserApplications' => 'UserApplication'
);
public function getCMSFields()
{
$f = parent::getCMSFields();
$applicationManager = new ApplicationDataObjectManager(
$this,
'UserApplications',
'UserApplication',
array(
'FirstName' => 'FirstName',
'Surname' => 'Surname',
'Email' => 'Email',
'CompanyName' => 'CompanyName',
'CompanyType' => "CompanyType",
'CompanyURL' => 'CompanyURL',
'HomePhone' => 'HomePhone',
'Address' => 'Address',
'AddressLine2' => 'AddressLine2',
'City' => 'City',
'Country' => 'Country',
'TaxIDNumber' => 'TaxIDNumber',
'Distributor' => 'Distributor',
'SalesRep' => 'SalesRep',
'Notes' => 'Notes',
'ApprovedMember' => 'ApprovedMember',
'Password' => 'Password'
),
'getCMSFields_forPopup'
);
$f->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Applications", $applicationManager);
$f->removeFieldFromTab('Root.Content.Main', 'Content');
$f->removeFieldFromTab('Root.Content.Main', 'LifestyleText');
return $f;
}
}
class RegistrationPage_Controller extends Page_Controller
{
/**Create Review Form****
************************
************************/
function UserRegistrationForm() {
// Create fields
$companyTypeList = array(
'Retail' => 'Retail',
'Online' => 'Online',
'Distributor' => 'Distributor',
'Press' => 'Press'
);
$fields = new FieldSet(
new TextField('FirstName', 'First Name'),
new TextField('Surname','Last Name'),
new EmailField('Email'),
new TextField('CompanyName','Company Name'),
new DropdownField('CompanyType','Company Type',$companyTypeList),
new TextField('CompanyURL','Company Website'),
new TextField('HomePhone','Company Phone'),
new TextField('Address','Address'),
new TextField('AddressLine2','Address Line 2'),
new TextField('City','City'),
new TextField('Country','Country'),
new TextField('TaxIDNumber','TaxIDNumber'),
new TextField('Distributor','Distributor'),
new TextField('SalesRep','Sales Rep'),
new TextareaField('Notes','Description'),
new ConfirmedPasswordField('Password')
);
// Create actions
$actions = new FieldSet(
new FormAction('doApplication', 'Submit')
);
return new Form($this, 'UserRegistrationForm', $fields, $actions);
}
function doApplication($data, $form) {
$application = new UserApplication();
$form->saveInto($application);
$application->write();
}
}
I have exactly the same problem.
It seems that when saving, the form don't saves the ...PageID field which is required for linking the records from the DOM to the right page in the CMS.
I've tried it with a fixed value in a hidden field, but it didn't work.
Don't forget to tie it to its parent record.
$application = new UserApplication();
$form->saveInto($application);
$application->RegistrationPageID = $SomeID
$application->write();
Tnx, works fine now!
