multiarray and Jinput

[steelfox]

Hi, I'm trying to build component with sport results, and try to build result form with multiarray post data. Can anybody show me example, step by step how to ?

i have a view with event data (racename) and after click to icon in table row I move to other view with raceresults. In raceresults I need to add a few rows with many columns (row 1 - person

• , rank[inputbox] - points[inptbox]
  row 2 - person
  • , place[inputbox] - pts[inptbox]
    etc..)
    after every row I'd like to submit data and stay in form to add next.
    
    I've tried to based on Joomla 3 com_user component with add note functionality, but it allows me to add only 1 row after every action. Can anybody explain me how to do it for multirow input ?
    I understand that I should pick id from race View which will be as hidden column for every row but do not understand how to define and connect other data to form.
    
    -fields in form and table for raceresults where id and constant race_id are hidden
    [id, race_id, person, rank, points]
    
    P.S. Of course I've checked all available info like:
    http://docs.joomla.org/Retrieving_reque ... ing_Values
    http://docs.joomla.org/Selecting_data_using_JDatabase
    http://docs.joomla.org/Inserting,_Updat ... _JDatabase
    http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_use_user_state_variables
    
    Anyway it is not clear explaining where and how to define data. How should I define getItem for multiarray in form ? How to make a form to present all rows from table and row with new data row?
    
    table for races and table for raceresults are separated
    
    Maybe just give me a link to component, document etc. where I could analyze how to ?

to be more clear, I've found Jpodium http://www.jpodium.de/component which makes what I expect, but I'd like to adopt this to 3.2. I tried to do it by myself but still have no effect with update of records (add, edit ,save, delete). Maybe someone would like to show how to change this code to be working in 3.2 ? I mean only code responsible for resultsperrace view.

If you believe this is too big effort, maybe you know component with the same functionality for J3.2 in which I could analyze code ?

PS. I found similar solultion on http://www.gwerp.com but this uses different way for keeping data (ref in text field NOT records in separate table)

ahh.. before you ask Detlef Volmer Jpodium author is not interested in component update to J3

I've found this

Code: Select all

$Data	= JRequest::getVar('jform', array(), 'post', 'array');

but because JRequest::getVar() is deprecated. I'd like to use

Code: Select all

JFactory::getApplication()->input->get()

instead.
how to properly convert it to JInput?

I'm trying something like this but it doesn't work

Code: Select all

$jinput = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
$Data	= $jinput->get('jform', array(), 'post', 'array');

doesn't work too.
or

Code: Select all

$jinput = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
$Data	= $jinput->post->get('jform', array(),'array');

Ok, one problem solved:
this phrase

Code: Select all

$Data   = JRequest::getVar('jform', array(), 'post', 'array');

should be changed to

Code: Select all

$jinput = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
$Data   = $jinput->get('jform', array(), 'array');

of course

Code: Select all

$Data   = $jinput->post->get('jform', array(),'array');

is allowed also

and one more problem

Code: Select all

$db->query();

must be changed to

Code: Select all

$db->execute();

But it's still not working. So i can publish data but until now cannot edit or add a new row

I've solved problem but have another .
I cannot get hidden fields thats why I had a problem with form, after change to "readonly=true" everything works ok. But next question.

How get hidden field from form ? I cannot get it when is not presented in form
