How to save text from textarea?

[Xymor]

Hi, I cant save value of textarea

 

public function getContent()

{

if (Tools::isSubmit('submitSomeModule'))

{

Configuration::updateValue('some_text', Tools::getValue('some_text'), true);

}

return $this->renderForm();

}

 

protected function renderForm()

array(

'type' => 'textarea',

'label' => $this->l('Text field content'),

'name' => 'some_text',

'lang' => true,

'autoload_rte' => true,

'cols' => 60,

'rows' => 30, 

),

$helper->tpl_vars = array(

'fields_value' => $this->getConfigFieldsValues(), /* Add values for your inputs */

'languages' => $this->context->controller->getLanguages(),

'id_language' => $this->context->language->id,

);

 

 

public function getConfigFieldsValues()

{

 

return array(

'some_text' => Tools::getValue('some_text', Configuration::get('some_text')),

);

}

 

protected function postProcess()

{

$form_values = $this->getConfigFieldsValues();

foreach (array_keys($form_values) as $key)

Configuration::updateValue($key, Tools::getValue($key));

}

How did you solved the problem?

Problem solved isn't a very friendly/helpful answer.

 

EDIT:

 

Fortunately I could find the problem and here is the explanation for my case (it could be the case for someone else in the future).

 

I will take the code above as example. So, in the code above, there is this:

Configuration::updateValue('some_text', Tools::getValue('some_text'), true);

And in my case, my code was looking like this:

Configuration::updateValue('some_text', (float)Tools::getValue('some_text'), true);

So there's (float) which is "Floating point numbers" (for those who want to know more about it go here: http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.float.php ) and that's what was only accepting numbers as input, not allowing me to save text.

I don't recall where i had an error but i can post how my code looks now (it won't work with prestashop below 1.6)

   public function getContent()
    {
        if (Tools::isSubmit('submitSOME_MODULE'))
        {
        ...
        Configuration::updateValue('SOME_MODULE_TEXT_FIELD', Tools::getValue('SOME_MODULE_TEXT_FIELD'), true);
        ...
        }
        return $this->renderForm();
    }

in protected function renderForm() :

array(
                        'type' => 'textarea',
                        'label' => $this->l('Text field content'),
                        'name' => 'SOME_MODULE_TEXT_FIELD',                       
 'desc' => $this->l('Text field content.'),
                        'autoload_rte' => true,
                        'cols' => 50,
                        'rows' => 20,
                    ),

next:

	public function getConfigFieldsValues()
	{
		return array(
			....
			'SOMEMODULE_TEXT_FIELD' => Tools::getValue('SOMEMODULE__TEXT_FIELD', Configuration::get('SOMEMODULE__TEXT_FIELD'))
		);
	}

protected function postProcess()
	{
		$form_values = $this->getConfigFieldsValues();
		foreach (array_keys($form_values) as $key)
			Configuration::updateValue($key, Tools::getValue($key));
	}
