Problems getting frontend form data into params variable

Posted: Wed Sep 03, 2008 11:48 am

Hi there!
i am quite new to CMSMS and we are developing some stuff for future use by our customers.
For the moment I am stuck with reading the data from an frontend form.
I am using:
MySQL: 5.0.60
PHP: PHP Version 5.2.6-pl6-gentoo

The problem is that not all the values in the form shows up in the $params variable.

The code for the form looks like:

echo ''.'Ändra din prenumeration'.'
';
echo 'E-post: ' . $user['email'] . '
';
echo 'Namn: ' . $user['username'] . '';
echo $this -> CreateFrontendFormStart($id, $params['returnid'], 'pdi_usersettings', 'post', '', true);
echo $this -> CreateInputHidden($id, 'uniqueid', $params['uniqueid']);
echo $this -> CreateInputHidden($id, 'myfunc', 'change');
foreach($lists as $key => $value)
{
$checked = isset($listuser[$key]);
echo '' . $this -> CreateInputCheckbox($id, 'list['.$key.']', $value['listid'], '', $checked ? 'checked="checked"' : '') .
' ' . $lists[$key]['name'] . ' - ' . $lists[$key]['description'] . '';
}
echo '' . $this -> CreateInputSubmit($id, 'change', 'Ändra prenumerationer') . $this -> CreateFormEnd() . '';

The $_POST looks like:

Array
(
    [mact] => NMS,m6,pdi_usersettings,1
    [m6returnid] => 61
    [page] => 61
    [m6uniqueid] => 3701da26f0105d8052e7a1f59f4f0f6e
    [m6myfunc] => change
    [m6list] => Array
        (
            [1] => 1
            [2] => 2
        )

    [m6change] => Ändra prenumerationer
)

The $params looks like:

Array
(
    [action] => pdi_default
    [mode] => subscribe
    [select] => Militanta köttätare
    [module] => NMS
    [returnid] => 61
    [uniqueid] => 3701da26f0105d8052e7a1f59f4f0f6e
)


Anybody has a clue?

Could you also post the HTML output of your script?
The two arrays you've posted seem to be created by different actions.

Maybe it's me not fully unjderstanding the internal working for links and forms of CMSMS.
If that's the case could someone give me a hint or a resource on the topic?

thnx

...
For frontend functions of a module you need to register the parameters that can be used with that module.
(I guess that is some security stuff here.)
Take a look into the News Modules source code of the file News.module.php.
There is a function called SetParameters(). Notice the lines 90 and below.
Maybe that's the reason why the variables are in the $_POST array but not in the $params array.
