I am creating my first artefact plugin and am having trouble saving form data. On form submission I get an error message:

A nonrecoverable error occurred.

In the error log I can see:

No function registered to handle form submission for form "addstandard", referer: http://localhost/mahara.dev/artefact/standardsofcompetence/new.php

In my new.php I have the following function;

function addstandard_submit(Pieform $form, $values) {

Any help on how to fix this would be gratefully received.

Thanks,

Pete

Hi Pete,

the submit function should be within the Artefact class that you are defining in lib.php.

When I was starting with Mahara artefact programming I found looking at the Plans artefact was useful for getting a handle on artefacts and blocks types within artefacts.

Hope tis helps.

Pete hi.

The function line looks OK, but it would be very helpful if you could provide a little more code, e.g. the definition of your form etc.

Cheers

Hm, that is odd. If your form's name is 'addstandard', then Pieforms should by default use the function 'addstandard_submit' as the submit callback method.

Perhaps there's something strange going on with the scope of the addstandard_submit() function? You didn't define it inside of an "if" block or something like that? Try putting a direct call to it right before your call to pieform() and see if it works. Like this:

addstandard_submit(null, null);
pieform($form);

Another thing you could try, is to explicitly specify the submit function:

$form = array(
  // all your other form declaration stuff
  'successcallback' => 'addstandard_submit',
);

Cheers,
