  • 0

I’m using cakephp 2.1 just fine; I want to use jquery to have my form divided by tabs.
Already used jquery outside cake and got the tabs demo working. http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/
I’ve also made jquery available to cakephp from webroot folder and

ProjectsController.php 

public $helpers = array('Js' => array('Jquery'));

add.ctp (at the very last line)

echo $this->Js->writeBuffer(); // Write cached scripts

Where and how should I invoke jquery in my view? I know I shoud use something similar to the demo:

<script>
        $(function() {
            $( "#tabs" ).tabs();
        });
    </script>

But don’t know where in my view to do it and the sintax.

Can anyone help?

Thanks a lot !

This if my full add.ctp

<div class="projects form">
<?php echo $this->Form->create('Project');?>

<fieldset>
    <legend><?php echo __('Add Project'); ?></legend>
<?php
            $arr_pr_subject = Configure::read('AR_SUBJECT'); 
            $arr_pr_status = Configure::read('AR_STATUS'); 
            $arr_pr_payment = Configure::read('AR_PAYMENT'); 
            $arr_pr_country = Configure::read('AR_COUNTRY'); 
            echo $this->Form->input('name', array('label' => 'Name:'));
            echo $this->Form->input('pr_subject', array('label' => 'Subject:', 'options' => $arr_pr_subject));
            echo $this->Form->input('pr_country', array('label' => 'Country:', 'options' => $arr_pr_country));
            echo $this->Form->input('pr_number', array('label' => 'ASC Project Number:'));
            echo $this->Form->input('pr_status', array('label' => 'Status:', 'options' => $arr_pr_status));
            echo $this->Form->input('client_id', array('label' => 'Client:', 'options' => $clients));
            echo $this->Form->input('pr_client_number', array('label' => 'Client Project Number:'));
            echo $this->Form->input('exec_id', array('label' => 'Sales Executive:', 'options' => $execs));
            echo $this->Form->input('pr_start', array('label' => 'Est. Start Date:'));
            echo $this->Form->input('pr_end', array('label' => 'Est. End Date:'));
            echo $this->Form->input('pr_notes', array('label' => 'Notes:'));
            echo $this->Form->input('pr_payment', array('label' => 'Payment options:', 'options' => $arr_pr_payment));
?>
</fieldset>
<?php echo $this->Form->end(__('Submit'));?>
</div>
<?php
echo $this->Js->writeBuffer(); // Write cached scripts
?>

    In your <head>, include jquery and jqueryui:

    <script src="/js/path/to/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/js/path/to/jqueryui.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    Then right under that, include a separate js file to keep all your code in

    <script src="/js/myscripts.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    In that file (myscripts.js) put in your jQuery code:

    $(function() {
  $( "#tabs" ).tabs();
});

    Then structure your form input to match jQuery Tabs syntax

    <form action="...">
<div id="tabs">
  <ul>
    <li><a href="#tab1">Tab 1</a></li>
    <li><a href="#tab2">Tab 2</a></li>
  </ul>
  <div id="tab1">
    <!-- Tab 1 inputs in here -->
  </div>
  <div id="tab2">
    <!-- Tab 2 inputs here -->
  </div>
</div>
</form>
