Question

I have form build with yii framework.
The first 2 inputs is “first_name” and “last_name” and I have many more inputs in the same form.
I’m checking validation with “ajaxSubmitButton” and I want to check first only “first_name” and “last_name” pass the validation and If they do next time when user will submit its would check all form.

Model -> rules

        array('first_name, last_name', 'length', 'min'=>2 , 'on' => 'setup'),
                    array('first_name, last_name , email, subject , message', 'length', 'min'=>2 , 'on' => 'submit'),

Ajax Button on View ->

         <?php echo CHtml::ajaxSubmitButton( 'Submit',
                                                                    CHtml::normalizeUrl(array('SubmitForm')),
                              array(
                    'error'=>'js:function(){
                                      alert(\'error\');
                                            }',
                            'beforeSend'=>'js:function(){
                                           alert(\'beforeSend\');
                                                                    }',
                                                                    'success'=>'js:function(data){
                                                                        alert(data);


                                                                    }',
                                                                    'complete'=>'js:function(){
                                                                       // alert(\'complete\');
                                                                    }',
                                                                    'update'=>'#updatebox',
                                                                    ) ,array('id'=>'submit')
                                                                );
                                ?>

Controller >

    public function actionMessageForm()
{
    $model = new Message;
        if(isset($_POST['Message']))
        {
              $model->attributes=$_POST['Message'];
              $valid = $model->validate('setup');
              if($valid)
              {
                  echo "pass";
                $model->save();
              } 
              else
              {
                   echo "failed";
              }

        }

}

How can I check partly inputs?
What I’m doing Wrong?

Answer 1

You have a bug in your controller. This:

public function actionMessageForm()
{
    $model = new Message;
        if(isset($_POST['Message']))
        {
              $model->attributes=$_POST['Message'];
              $valid = $model->validate('setup');

should be this:

public function actionMessageForm()
{
    $model = new Message;
        if(isset($_POST['Message']))
        {
              $model->scenario = 'setup'; <-- changed
              $model->attributes=$_POST['Message'];
              $valid = $model->validate(); <-- passing a value in here is passing an attribute

or this:

public function actionMessageForm()
{
        if(isset($_POST['Message']))
        {
             $model = new Message('setup');

Does that help?
