Making objectHTMLSafe work

[Plaidfox]

Could use some help with my coding. I'm trying to get a textarea to save html code to my mysql database. Can anyone tell me how to set this up?

Thanks!

Here's my code so far, if it helps:

Code: Select all

<?php defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');?>

<form action="index.php" method="post" name="adminForm" id="adminForm">
<div class="col100">
	<fieldset class="adminform">
		<legend><?php echo JText::_( 'Details' ); ?></legend>

		<table class="admintable">
		<tr>
			<td width="100" align="right" class="key">
				<label for="title">
					<?php echo JText::_( 'Title' ); ?>:
				</label>
			</td>
			<td>
				<input class="text_area" type="text" name="title" id="title" size="32" maxlength="250" value="<?php echo $this->recipe->title;?>" />
			</td>
		</tr>
        <tr>
 		<td width="100" align="right" class="key">
        	<label for="ingredients">
            	<?php echo JText::_( 'Ingredients' ); ?>:
            </label>
        </td>
        <td>
        	<textarea class="inputbox" cols="70" rows="10" name="ingredients" id="ingredients"><?php echo $this->recipe->ingredients;?></textarea>
        </td>
    </tr>
        </table>
        <table class="adminform">
        <tr>
        <td width="100" align="right" class="key">
        		<label for="directions">
                	<?php echo JText::_( 'Directions' ); ?>:
                </label>
        </td>
        <td>
						<textarea id="directions" name="directions" cols="75" rows="20" style="width:100%; height:550px;" class="mce_editable="><?php echo $this->recipe->directions;?></textarea>

<div id="editor-xtd-buttons">
<div class="button2-left"><div class="image"><a class="modal-button" title="Image" href="http://www.kernandlead.com/~russell/administrator/index.php?option=com_media&view=images&tmpl=component&e_name=text"  rel="{handler: 'iframe', size: {x: 570, y: 400}}">Image</a></div></div>
<div class="button2-left"><div class="pagebreak"><a class="modal-button" title="Pagebreak" href="http://www.kernandlead.com/~russell/administrator/index.php?option=com_content&task=ins_pagebreak&tmpl=component&e_name=text"  rel="{handler: 'iframe', size: {x: 400, y: 85}}">Pagebreak</a></div></div>
<div class="button2-left"><div class="readmore"><a  title="Read more..." href="http://www.kernandlead.com/~russell/administrator/#" onclick="insertReadmore('text');return false;" rel="">Read more...</a></div></div>
</div>
					</td>
                    </tr>
	</table>
	</fieldset>
</div>
<div class="clr"></div>

<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_recipe" />
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo $this->recipe->id; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="controller" value="recipe" /> 
</form>

I want to allow the user to put html code in that textarea section.

Just before you store your data, intercept the text area content like so:

Code: Select all

$data = JRequest::get( 'post' );
$data['ingredients'] = JRequest::getVar( 'ingredients, '', 'post', 'string', JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW );

// Bind the form fields to the table
if (!$row->bind($data)) {
	$this->setError($this->_db->getErrorMsg());
	return false;
}

// Make sure the record is valid
if (!$row->check()) {
	$this->setError($this->_db->getErrorMsg());
	return false;
}
		
// Store the content to the database
if (!$row->store()) {
	$this->setError( $row->getErrorMsg() );
	return false;
}

return true;

Maybe theres another way to do it, but this has worked for me.

So, should the code you gave me be put on the form.php page or on some other page? I based my component off the hello_world component shown to us by joomla.

Well, I tried putting your code into my controllers/recipe.php, but I keep getting this error: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/russell/public_html/administrator/components/com_recipe/controllers/recipe.php on line 51

Here's my code:

Code: Select all

/**
	 * save a record (and redirect to main page)
	 * @return void
	 */
	function save()
	{
		$data = JRequest::get( 'post' );
		$data['directions'] = JRequest::getVar( 'directions', '', 'post', 'string', JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW );

// Bind the form fields to the table
if (!$row->bind($data)) {
   $this->setError($this->_db->getErrorMsg());
   return false;
}

// Make sure the record is valid
if (!$row->check()) {
   $this->setError($this->_db->getErrorMsg());
   return false;
}
      
// Store the content to the database
if (!$row->store()) {
   $this->setError( $row->getErrorMsg() );
   return false;
}

return true;
		
		$model = $this->getModel('recipe');

		if ($model->store($post)) {
			$msg = JText::_( 'Recipe Saved!' );
		} else {
			$msg = JText::_( 'Error Saving Recipe' );
		}

		// Check the table in so it can be edited.... we are done with it anyway
		$link = 'index.php?option=com_recipe';
		$this->setRedirect($link, $msg);
	}

Oh, nevermind, figured it out. For future readers, all I did was paste:

Code: Select all

$data['directions'] = JRequest::getVar( 'directions', '', 'post', 'string', JREQUEST_ALLOWRAW );

into my models/recipe.php file right where Bodom78 was saying it went and now it works. Thanks for the help!
