NAME

App::ZofCMS::Plugin::FormFiller - fill HTML form elements' values.

SYNOPSIS

In Main Config file or ZofCMS Template:

    plugins => [ qw/FormFiller/ ],
    plug_form_filler => {
        params => [ qw/nu_login nu_name nu_email nu_admin nu_aa nu_mm user/ ],
    },

DESCRIPTION

The module provides filling of form elements from {t} ZofCMS Template special key or query parameters if those are specified.

This documentation assumes you've read App::ZofCMS, App::ZofCMS::Config and App::ZofCMS::Template

MAIN CONFIG FILE AND ZofCMS TEMPLATE FIRST-LEVEL KEYS

plugins

    plugins => [ qw/FormFiller/ ],

Your obviously need to specify the name of the plugin in plugins arrayref for ZofCMS to execute the plugin. However, you'll probably be using another plugin, such as App::ZofCMS::Plugin::DBI to fill the {t} key first, thus don't forget to set right priorities.

plug_form_filler

    plug_form_filler => {
        params => [ qw/login name email/ ],
    },

    plug_form_filler => {
        params => {
             t_login    => 'query_login',
             t_name     => 'query_name',
             t_email    => 'query_email',
        },
    },

The plug_form_filler takes a hashref as a value. The possible keys/values of that hashref are as follows:

params

    params => {
            t_login    => query_login,
            t_name     => query_name,
            t_email    => query_email,
    },

    params => [ qw/login name email/ ],
    # same as
    params => {
        login => 'login',
        name  => 'name',
        email => 'email',
    },

Mandatory. The params key takes either a hashref or an arrayref as a value. If the value is an arrayref it will be converted to a hashref where keys and values are the same. The keys of the hashref will be interpreted as keys in the {t} ZofCMS Template special key and values will be interpreted as names of query parameters.

The idea of the plugin is that if query parameter (one of the specified in the params hashref/arrayref) has some value that is different from the corresponding value in the {t} hashref, the plugin will put that value into the {t} ZofCMS Template hashref. This allows you to do, for example, the following: fetch preset values from the database (using App::ZofCMS::Plugin::DBI perhaps) and present them to the user, if the user edits some fields you have have the preset values along with those changes made by the user.
