Form help

Sorry, but I am a severe noob. How do I put this in my form? Is it a $form->dropDownList? If so, does the usage code go in the CHtml::listData section? Thanks.

Form help

@oneflatfoot,
as of now this just extends the CApplicationComponent and returns CHtml::dropDownList()
You can put it in anyform and just deal with the data in the controller. The data will be sent in the post.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

ability to use the states in CActiveForm widgets

Hi cfletcher1856,

I made the following changes to this extension inorder to

allow me to use the states with CActiveForm widgets
allow me to generate a drop down of the short-names of the states.

class My_States extends States
{
    public static function getStates(array $countries, $shortName = FALSE)
    {
        $return = array();
        if (in_array('US', $countries)) $return += self::$us;
        if (in_array('CANADA', $countries)) $return += self::$canada;
        if (in_array('US TERRITORIES', $countries)) $return += self::$us_territories;

        if ($shortName)
            foreach ($return as $key => &$value)
                $value = $key;
        return $return;
    }
}

and

- private static $us = array(
+ protected static $us = array(
...
- private static $us_territories = array(
+ protected static $us_territories = array(
...
- private static $canada = array(
+ protected static $canada = array(

With this, I could use the function in a way consistent with the other form element calls:

$form->dropDownList($address, 'state', My_States::getStates(array("US"), true), array('prompt' => 'State', 'class' => 'abc', 'style' => "width:75px;")),

You could consider adding this to the extension.
Thanks,
Alan
