[SOLVED] File upload Helper

[gr4devel]

Hi community.

 

I'm wondering why I get the result of the attached image with the following code:

$default_lang = (int)Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT');
    $fields_form[0]['form'] = array(
      'legend' => array(
        'title' => $this->l('Import combinations'),
        'image' => '../img/admin/cog.gif'
      ),
      'input' => array(
        array(
          'type' => 'file',
          'name' => 'my-name',
          'multiple' => true,
          'label' => $this->l('Choose combinations file'),
          'desc' => $this->l('Terms display on the top of the form.'),
          'lang' => true,
          'id' => 'my-name'
        )
      ),
      'submit' => array(
        'title' => $this->l('Import'),
        'class' => 'button'
      )
    );

    $helper = new HelperForm();
    $helper->module = $this;
    $helper->name_controller = $this->name;
    $helper->token = Tools::getAdminTokenLite('AdminModules');
    $helper->currentIndex = AdminController::$currentIndex.'&configure='.$this->name;
    $helper->languages = Language::getLanguages();
    $helper->default_form_language = $default_lang;
    $helper->allow_employee_form_lang = $default_lang;
    $helper->title = $this->displayName;
    $helper->show_toolbar = true;
    $helper->toolbar_scroll = true;
    $helper->submit_action = 'submit'.$this->name;
    $helper->toolbar_btn = array(
      'save' => array(
        'desc' => $this->l('Save'),
        'href' => AdminController::$currentIndex.'&configure='.$this->name.'&save'.$this->name.
        '&token='.Tools::getAdminTokenLite('AdminModules'),
      ),
      'back' => array(
        'href' => AdminController::$currentIndex.'&token='.Tools::getAdminTokenLite('AdminModules'),
        'desc' => $this->l('Back to list')
      )
    );
    // $helper->fields_value['BETTERPRICE_EMAIL'] = Configuration::get('BETTERPRICE_EMAIL');

    return $helper->generateForm($fields_form);

I think the first file chooser should be hided...but why it is not?

 

Am I missing some config value for the input?

Hi

 

see the module Blocktopbanner in php for the formhelper and in \views\templates\admin\_configure\helpers\form for extend the tpl

Thank you for the quick response but I'm curious, is it an actual (and known) problem of the default template used to display the file input field?

Hi

 

i see you use 'multiple'=>true; i fdont see this in DOC and in Form.tpl the multiple is for type=select

If you check inside the simple.tpl (admin/themes/default/template/helpers/uploader/simple.tpl) you can see that a smarty variable $multiple is actually used...

 

Anyway I can't find any official DOC about the file input type and so I'm currently working blindly...

 

Sincerely I don't want to try to figure it out how the field works by manually checking the view and the controller code...

 

A framework like PS (at its version) should have a proper documentation about its functionality...

Ok the problem here was related to the fact that the module I was creating didn't was "bootstraped".

 

Take a look here: http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Making+your+module+work+with+Bootstrap

 

TL;DR: just add 

$this->bootstrap = true;

to your module constructor and the problem should be fixed.
