if you dont use FormHelper as a class you will need to specify that in your `src/View/AppView.php` initialize function via ``` $this->loadHelper( 'Form', [ 'templates' => 'app_form', // will load templates from config/app_form.php 'className' => 'MyForm' ] );``` |

I didn't! Although I suspected there is a whole bunch you can do that I have no clue about! Do you have a link or search term I can look for in the book maybe? |
| # |
Jun 11th 2021, 12:08 |
kevin.pfeifer |
sure :) Do you know that you can extend basically any class and use that instead of the “core” one to have some custom logic in there? |

Sorry! I think this is my lack of knowledge shining through :) I have a Form Template not Helper. |

kevin.pfeifer |
or am I not aware of some feature that the Helpers can do with these form templates :thinking_face: |
| # |
Jun 11th 2021, 12:00 |
kevin.pfeifer |
no i mean do you have `src/View/Helper/MyFormHelper.php` which extends the base FormHelper |

Yes I guess I could pass the class through the control - thanks for the tip! I do have a custom FormHelper already, albeit very basic! `<?php` `return [` `'checkboxFormGroup' => '<div class="form-check"><div class="checkbox">{{label}}</div></div>',` `'checkbox' => '<input type="checkbox" class="form-check-input" name="{{name}}" value="{{value}}" |

I am not aware that you ccan do conditional logic purely in form templates |
| # |
Jun 11th 2021, 11:58 |
kevin.pfeifer |
i would guess you would have to add that logic to the `control()` (or whatever function you are using in your template) So do you have a custom FormHelper already? |
| # |

So I have one for input: 'input' => '<input type="{{type}}" name="{{name}}" {{attrs}} />', This applies to both text input and range input though. I want text input to have a class of form-control in order for it to be Bootstrap 5 formatted. If I add form-control here, it borks my range inputs. |
| # |
Jun 11th 2021, 11:51 |
kevin.pfeifer |
so you just need a class with the type of the input? |
| # |

Quick follow up question on Form Helpers if I may - is there anyway in the template to differentiate between a text input and say a range input? If I add form-control class to the input template, it messes up the range, and if I remove it, range works but text box doesn't. |

the CsrfMiddleware is a security feature which is enabled by default so it would be pretty bad if you disable it just for that ^^ |
| # |
Jun 11th 2021, 10:46 |
kevin.pfeifer |
does it still work? |
| # |
Jun 11th 2021, 10:46 |
kevin.pfeifer |
well if you enable it now |
| # |
Jun 11th 2021, 10:46 |
paolo.bragagni |
trying to enable? |

paolo.bragagni |
yes |

Jun 11th 2021, 10:45 |

so if you need to stay on 3.5.17 you can add that try-catch block in your `/app/vendor/cakephp/cakephp/src/Database/Driver/PDODriverTrait.php` |
| # |
Jun 11th 2021, 10:23 |
kevin.pfeifer |
well according to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32239205/php-pdo-hide-error-message-when-failed-connecting-to-mysql-server Its basically an exception from the PDO Class which needs to be catched via a try-catch block. |

@paolo.bragagni json should be returned like so ```$response = $this->getResponse(); $this->autoRender = false; return $response->withType( 'application/json' ) ->withStringBody( json_encode( $results ) );``` |
