Form Submit

[karl.wong]

Hi there,

 

I'm trying to make a custom page with a form.

 

This is what i have done so far:

 

1) Creating a custompage.php

2) Creating a CustomPageController.php

3) Creating a custompage.tpl

4) Creating the page in back office through preferences - > SEO & URLs

 

Everything is working fine, but I have a problem with form submission.

 

Been looking up for tutorials about this but was unable to find any useful one. 

 

So this is what i'm looking for:

 

1) How does the form submission work? Like the tags <form action="xxx"> in normal PHP and how does it look like in prestashop? I don't see any of them here.

 

2) Where and how do I post the data?

 

3) There's also an Upload Attachment field there in this form and i'm unable to upload anything yet as per my knowledge, the file upload system here in prestashop works differently?

 

Hope that someone can help on this as the docs aren't really clear.

 

Thanks in advance.

I would suggest looking at the contactcontroller and its template file.  it does what you are looking to do

Just the controller and tpl file? What about inserting data into the database? How does the form work/auto generated out?

i would suggest you make an attempt and come back with specific questions or issues you encounter.  providing you a complete solution is not reasonable to do within a single forum post.
