I am unable to set the default value of a field on my form. I am using
the following line:
$c->stash->{object}->model->default_values( { name => 'tbz' } );
or I can break it down to this:
my $form = $c->stash->{object};
$form->model->default_values( { name => 'tbz' } );
But the 'name' field comes up empty when the page loads or the
following error:
|"Can't locate object method "model" via package "NPC::Model::ModelDB::Character"
|
I know this is easy and I have researched it. Ijust can't figure out
what I am doing wrong? Here is my full sub.
sub new_character : Local FormConfig('character/new_character.yml') {
my ($self, $c) = @_;
# load the new record object into the stash
$c->stash->{object} = $c->model('ModelDB::Character')->new_result({});
# Check permissions
$c->detach('/error_noperms')
unless $c->stash->{object}->create_allowed_by($c->user->get_object);
# Clicked the submit button and the form passed error checking
if ($c->stash->{form}->submitted_and_valid) {
# Write the record to the resultset
$c->stash->{form}->model->update($c->stash->{object});
# Update the status message
$c->flash->{status_msg} = 'Record created';
# Redirect to the list_character page
$c->response->redirect($c->uri_for('list_character'));
# Escape this subroutine
$c->detach;
# First load or form is reloaded due to failing error checking
} else {
$c->stash->{object}->model->default_values( { name => 'tbz' } );
# Re-evaluate the form
$c->stash->{form}->process();
}
# Run the code necessary to rename the repeatable elements to be
compatible with wforms.js
NPC::Controller::WForm::handle_repeat($c->stash->{form}, $c);
# Necessary to handle the hints that work work with wforms.js
NPC::Controller::WForm::handle_hints($c->stash->{form}, $c);
# Set the logo
$c->stash->{given_logo} = '/static/images/Tolkien Folder.png';
# Set the title
$c->stash->{given_title} = 'New Character';
# Set the page template that is used
$c->stash->{template} = 'standard/wform_form.tt2';
}
