GenericForm

Yii required a form model to startup with. This could be an overhead if you just wanto ask for 2 input for example. GenericForm is here for this purpose.

Its structure is basic and straightforward, support 5 variables, 1 file upload and 1 image upload. No rules and validation included, you will need to do that manually in your code.

<?php

class GenericForm extends CFormModel
{
	public $uploadPath;
	public $uploadFile_value;
	public $imageFile_value;
	public $var1;
	public $var2;
	public $var3;
	public $var4;
	public $var5;

	public function init()
	{
		$this->uploadPath = Yii::getPathOfAlias('uploads') . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'generic';
	}

	public function attributeLabels()
	{
		return array(
			'uploadFile_value' => Yii::t('core', 'Upload File'),
			'imageFile_value' => Yii::t('core', 'Image'),
			'var1' => Yii::t('core', 'Var 1'),
			'var2' => Yii::t('core', 'Var 2'),
			'var3' => Yii::t('core', 'Var 3'),
			'var4' => Yii::t('core', 'Var 4'),
			'var5' => Yii::t('core', 'Var 5'),
		);
	}
}

You can extend the form to set labels. This piece of code can either in a new model or simply at the bottom of your Controller where it is use. e.g.:

class ReviewClaimForm extends GenericForm
{
	public function attributeLabels()
	{
		return array(
			'var1' => Yii::t('core', 'Organization / Team / Project'),
			'var2' => Yii::t('core', 'Note to applicant'),
			'var3' => Yii::t('core', 'Remark'),
		);
	}
}

Your controller would be something like:

$submission = $backend->loadModel($id);
$model = new ReviewClaimForm;
$model->var1 = $submission->jsonArray_data->startup;
// var2: text_note
$model->var2 = $submission->jsonArray_extra->text_note;
// var3: remark
$model->var3 = $submission->jsonArray_extra->remark;

if (isset($_POST['ReviewClaimForm'])) {
    $submission->jsonArray_extra->text_note = $_POST['ReviewClaimForm']['var2'];
	$submission->jsonArray_extra->remark = $_POST['ReviewClaimForm']['var3'];
}

In view:

<?php $form = $this->beginWidget('ActiveForm', array(
		'id' => 'review-form',
		// Please note: When you enable ajax validation, make sure the corresponding
		// controller action is handling ajax validation correctly.
		// There is a call to performAjaxValidation() commented in generated controller code.
		// See class documentation of CActiveForm for details on this.
		'enableAjaxValidation' => false,
		'htmlOptions' => array(
			'class' => 'crud-form',
			'role' => 'form',
			'enctype' => 'multipart/form-data',
		)
	)); ?>

		<div class="modal-body">

			<?php if ($model->hasErrors()): ?>
				<?php echo $form->bsErrorSummary($model); ?>
			<?php endif; ?>	
			
			<div class="form-group <?php echo $model->hasErrors('var1') ? 'has-error' : '' ?>">
				<?php echo $form->bsLabelFx0($model, 'var1'); ?>
				<div class="">
					<div class="form-control form-control-holder"><?php echo $model->var1 ?></div>
				</div>
            </div>
            
			<div class="form-group <?php echo $model->hasErrors('var2') ? 'has-error' : '' ?>">
				<?php echo $form->bsLabelFx0($model, 'var2'); ?>
				<div class="">
					<?php echo $form->bsHtmlEditor($model, 'var2', array('toolbar' => 'Mini', 'height' => '100px')); ?>
					<?php echo $form->bsError($model, 'var2'); ?>
				</div>
			</div>
            
			<div class="form-group <?php echo $model->hasErrors('var3') ? 'has-error' : '' ?>">
				<?php echo $form->bsLabelFx0($model, 'var3'); ?>
				<div class="">
					<?php echo $form->bsHtmlEditor($model, 'var3', array('toolbar' => 'Mini', 'height' => '100px')); ?>
					<?php echo $form->bsError($model, 'var3'); ?>
				</div>
			</div>
			
		</div>
		<div class="modal-footer">
			<?php echo $form->bsBtnSubmit(Yii::t('atas', 'Confirm Review')); ?>
			<?php echo Html::btnDefault(Yii::t('atas', 'Cancel'), $this->createUrl('claim/admin')); ?>
        </div>
        
        <?php $this->endWidget(); ?>

Another use case, on receiving file upload in Controller:

$model = new GenericForm;
		$model->uploadFile_value = UploadedFile::getInstanceByName('file');
		if (is_object($model->uploadFile_value)) {
			$zip = new ZipArchive;
			$resource = $zip->open($model->uploadFile_value->tempName);
			if ($resource === true) {
				$zip->extractTo(Yii::getPathOfAlias('modules'));
				$zip->close();
			}
		}
