Well, i would like perform Ajax validation on the contact form
So :
my siteController :
<?php
class SiteController extends Controller
{
/**
* Declares class-based actions.
*/
public function actions()
{
return array(
// captcha action renders the CAPTCHA image displayed on the contact page
'captcha'=>array(
'class'=>'CCaptchaAction',
'backColor'=>0xFFFFFF,
'transparent'=>true,
'testLimit'=>1,
'foreColor'=>0xEF4135
),
// page action renders "static" pages stored under 'protected/views/site/pages'
// They can be accessed via: index.php?r=site/page&view=FileName
'page'=>array(
'class'=>'CViewAction',
),
);
}
/**
* This is the default 'index' action that is invoked
* when an action is not explicitly requested by users.
*/
public function actionIndex()
{
// renders the view file 'protected/views/site/index.php'
// using the default layout 'protected/views/layouts/main.php'
$this->render('index');
}
/**
* This is the action to handle external exceptions.
*/
public function actionError()
{
if($error=Yii::app()->errorHandler->error)
{
if(Yii::app()->request->isAjaxRequest)
echo $error['message'];
else
$this->render('error', $error);
}
}
/**
* Displays the contact page
*/
public function actionContact()
{
$model=new ContactForm;
if(isset($_POST['ajax']) && $_POST['ajax']==='contact-form')
{
echo CActiveForm::validate($model);
Yii::app()->end();
}
if(isset($_POST['ContactForm']))
{
$model->attributes=$_POST['ContactForm'];
if($model->validate())
{
$headers="From: {$model->email}\r\nReply-To: {$model->email}";
mail(Yii::app()->params['adminEmail'],$model->subject,$model->body,$headers);
Yii::app()->user->setFlash('contact','Thank you for contacting us. We will respond to you as soon as possible.');
$this->refresh();
}
}
$this->render('contact',array('model'=>$model));
}
/**
* Displays the login page
*/
public function actionLogin()
{
$model=new LoginForm;
// Uncomment the following line if AJAX validation is needed
$this->performAjaxValidation($model);
// collect user input data
if(isset($_POST['LoginForm']))
{
$model->attributes=$_POST['LoginForm'];
// validate user input and redirect to the previous page if valid
if($model->validate() && $model->login())
$this->redirect(Yii::app()->user->returnUrl);
}
// display the login form
$this->render('login',array('model'=>$model));
}
/**
* Logs out the current user and redirect to homepage.
*/
public function actionLogout()
{
Yii::app()->user->logout();
$this->redirect(Yii::app()->homeUrl);
}
protected function performAjaxValidation($model)
{
if(isset($_POST['ajax']) && $_POST['ajax']==='contact-form')
{
echo CActiveForm::validate($model);
Yii::app()->end();
}
}
}
and my view :
<?php
$this->pageTitle=Yii::app()->name . ' - Contact Us';
$this->breadcrumbs=array(
'Contact',
);
?>
<div id="uniqueColumn">
<h2>Contact Us</h2>
<?php if(Yii::app()->user->hasFlash('contact')): ?>
<div class="flash-success">
<?php echo Yii::app()->user->getFlash('contact'); ?>
</div>
<?php else: ?>
<br>
<h3>
If you have business inquiries or other questions, please fill out the following form to contact us. Thank you.
</h3>
<div class="form">
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'contact-form',
'enableAjaxValidation'=>true,
)); ?>
<p class="note">Fields with <span class="required">*</span> are required.</p>
<?php echo $form->errorSummary($model); ?>
<p class="note">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'name'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'name'); ?>
</p>
<p class="note">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'email'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'email'); ?>
</p>
<p class="note">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'subject'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'subject',array('size'=>60,'maxlength'=>128)); ?>
</p>
<p class="note">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'body'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textArea($model,'body',array('rows'=>6, 'cols'=>50)); ?>
</p>
<?php if(CCaptcha::checkRequirements()): ?>
<p class="note">
<?php echo $form->labelEx($model,'verifyCode'); ?>
<div>
<?php $this->widget('CCaptcha'); ?>
<?php echo $form->textField($model,'verifyCode'); ?>
</div>
<div class="hint">Please enter the letters as they are shown in the image above.
<br/>Letters are not case-sensitive.</div>
</p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo CHtml::submitButton('Submit'); ?>
<br/>
<?php $this->endWidget(); ?>
</div>
</div><!-- form -->
<?php endif; ?>
And it don’t work. Ajax seems to be not activated, and i have nothing in XHR of firebug. 
Thanks a lot
