How to add ID to zen_draw_form?

[vermontwoods]

Hi all,

I am wondering how I can add an ID to a Zen Cart form. Here is the code for the form:

<?php echo zen_draw_form('catalogForm', zen_href_link(FILENAME_CATALOG)); ?>

When I view the source code of the page, I see that this code produces a <form> tag that includes name="catalogForm". I want to add id="catalogForm" as well.

Thanks!

<?php echo zen_draw_form('catalogForm', zen_href_link(FILENAME_CATALOG), 'post', 'id="catalogForm"'); ?>

Thank you lat9, that worked perfectly!

Hello Lat9

I tried adding an ID to my contact form, but when I send the form it just reloads the page with some of the fields filled out. the only difference between your example and mine is SSL and action=send. Here's my code:

<?php 
/** 
* removing ID from form worked
* readded ID, no go
* changed ID from contact_form to contactForm, no go
*/
?>
<?php echo zen_draw_form('contact_us', zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US,'id="contactForm"', 'action=send', 'SSL')); ?>

could you guide me? I'm using zc1.5.5

Sure, try this instead:

<?php echo zen_draw_form('contact_us', zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, 'action=send', 'SSL'), 'post', 'id="contactForm"'); ?>

By the time I decided to go ahead and post the same solution as above (checking for response before doing so) it was already posted. :) deleted my original response.

Thank you again for your help on these. The client wants to add additional tracking to various forms and I manage to get all of them done, but have had no success with the logins.

If I wanted to also add an ID to split logn and the header login on this page https://customironworks.com/login.html, would the same code modification apply?

I noticed that split login already has an action=process

<?php echo zen_draw_form('login', zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, 'action=process' . (isset($_GET['gv_no']) ? '&gv_no=' . preg_replace('/[^0-9.,%]/', '', $_GET['gv_no']) : ''), 'SSL'), 'id="loginForm"'); ?>

however, the ID does not show on the form when you view source and placing the 'post' does not process the form, it just reloads the same page. I've tried various combinations, but the only one that works is the original code.

for the header I've added the same in the sidebox/tpl_login_header.php like this

if(!$_SESSION['customer_id']) {
  echo zen_draw_form('account_box', zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, 'action=process', 'SSL'), 'post', 'id="loginForm"');

I also need to add scripts below the form tag, but not sure where to place that

</fieldset></form>\n";

before the \n" ?? having it below the </form> of split login is not sufficient as users can login from any page. Maybe this particular one should be just before the </body>

I really appreciate the assistance. Thank you.

For the first form, it's missing the indication of how the data should be passed (post or get) which is expected in the position where the current id parameter is placed. So instead of:

<?php echo zen_draw_form('login', zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, 'action=process' . (isset($_GET['gv_no']) ? '&gv_no=' . preg_replace('/[^0-9.,%]/', '', $_GET['gv_no']) : ''), 'SSL'), 'id="loginForm"'); ?>

It should be:

<?php echo zen_draw_form('login', zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, 'action=process' . (isset($_GET['gv_no']) ? '&gv_no=' . preg_replace('/[^0-9.,%]/', '', $_GET['gv_no']) : ''), 'SSL'), 'post', 'id="loginForm"'); ?>

As far as placing the javascript, when you say that someone can login from any page, are you saying that on any given page there are blanks to be filled in to provide access or are you referring to the existence of a link that would take one to the login page? If the first is true, that it will need to fire on any page, then it could be placed/pulled at the start of the page load or could be part of the main_page code or in some way off of the footer area. Otherwise before or after the \n would be okay provided the content is properly put to the browser.
