Hi @texnixe, you mention here moving form logic in the block, and you say it like it is not a big deal.
That would be a great solution if possible.
Maybe I am missing something, but I don’t see how could that be possible, without really heavy strategy and coding. How could we move form logic from controller to block?
How would you merge these two (from your Cookbook recipe)
The form
<?php if($success): ?>
<div class="alert success">
<p><?= $success ?></p>
</div>
<?php else: ?>
<?php if (isset($alert['error'])): ?>
<div><?= $alert['error'] ?></div>
<?php endif ?>
<form method="post" action="<?= $page->url() ?>">
<div class="honeypot">
<label for="website">Website <abbr title="required">*</abbr></label>
<input type="url" id="website" name="website" tabindex="-1">
</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="name">
Name <abbr title="required">*</abbr>
</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" value="<?= esc($data['name'] ?? '', 'attr') ?>" required>
<?= isset($alert['name']) ? '<span class="alert error">' . esc($alert['name']) . '</span>' : '' ?>
</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="email">
Email <abbr title="required">*</abbr>
</label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" value="<?= esc($data['email'] ?? '', 'attr') ?>" required>
<?= isset($alert['email']) ? '<span class="alert error">' . esc($alert['email']) . '</span>' : '' ?>
</div>
<div class="field">
<label for="text">
Text <abbr title="required">*</abbr>
</label>
<textarea id="text" name="text" required>
<?= esc($data['text'] ?? '') ?>
</textarea>
<?= isset($alert['text']) ? '<span class="alert error">' . esc($alert['text']) . '</span>' : '' ?>
</div>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<?php endif ?>
and Controller
<?php
return function($kirby, $pages, $page) {
$alert = null;
if($kirby->request()->is('POST') && get('submit')) {
// check the honeypot
if(empty(get('website')) === false) {
go($page->url());
exit;
}
$data = [
'name' => get('name'),
'email' => get('email'),
'text' => get('text')
];
$rules = [
'name' => ['required', 'minLength' => 3],
'email' => ['required', 'email'],
'text' => ['required', 'minLength' => 3, 'maxLength' => 3000],
];
$messages = [
'name' => 'Please enter a valid name',
'email' => 'Please enter a valid email address',
'text' => 'Please enter a text between 3 and 3000 characters'
];
// some of the data is invalid
if($invalid = invalid($data, $rules, $messages)) {
$alert = $invalid;
// the data is fine, let's send the email
} else {
try {
$kirby->email([
'template' => 'email',
'from' => 'yourcontactform@yourcompany.com',
'replyTo' => $data['email'],
'to' => 'you@yourcompany.com',
'subject' => esc($data['name']) . ' sent you a message from your contact form',
'data' => [
'text' => esc($data['text']),
'sender' => esc($data['name'])
]
]);
} catch (Exception $error) {
if(option('debug')):
$alert['error'] = 'The form could not be sent: <strong>' . $error->getMessage() . '</strong>';
else:
$alert['error'] = 'The form could not be sent!';
endif;
}
// no exception occurred, let's send a success message
if (empty($alert) === true) {
$success = 'Your message has been sent, thank you. We will get back to you soon!';
$data = [];
}
}
}
return [
'alert' => $alert,
'data' => $data ?? false,
'success' => $success ?? false
];
};
Into one block?
