How would I create a secondary contact form in Magento 2.2? I'd like it to have the following fields:
- Name
- Phone
- Checkbox 1
- Checkbox 2
- Submit button
I have tried following this thread which does something similar, but couldn't get the module to display anything other than a 404 page: Create Custom Form in Magento2 Frontend
Here's the code I have used based on the above example:
app/code/Company/Module/etc/frontend/routes.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:App/etc/routes.xsd">
<router id="standard">
<route id="companymodule" frontName="companymodule">
<module name="Company_Module"/>
</route>
</router>
</config>
app/code/Company/Module/view/frontend/layout/module_index_booking.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page layout="2columns-left" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<head>
<title>HTML title - The booking form page</title>
</head>
<body>
<referenceBlock name="navigation.sections" remove="true" />
<referenceContainer name="content">
<block class="Company\Module\Block\Booking" name="companymodule.booking" template="Company_Module::booking.phtml"/>
</referenceContainer>
</body>
</page>
app/code/Company/Module/Block/Booking.php
<?php
namespace Company\Module\Block;
class Booking extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
{
/**
* Construct
*
* @param \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template\Context $context
* @param array $data
*/
public function __construct(
\Magento\Backend\Block\Template\Context $context,
array $data = []
)
{
parent::__construct($context, $data);
}
/**
* Get form action URL for POST booking request
*
* @return string
*/
public function getFormAction()
{
// companymodule is given in routes.xml
// controller_name is folder name inside controller folder
// action is php file name inside above controller_name folder
return '/companymodule/index/booking';
// here controller_name is index, action is booking
}
}
app/code/Company/Module/view/frontend/templates/booking.phtml
<h1>Booking page</h1>
<form action="<?php echo $block->getFormAction() ?>" method="post">
<input name="firstname" type="text">
<input name="lastname" type="text">
<input name="phone" type="text">
<input name="bookingTime" type="date">
<input type="submit" value="Send booking informations">
</form>
app/code/Company/Module/Controller/Index/Booking.php
<?php
namespace Company\Module\Controller\Index;
use Magento\Framework\Controller\ResultFactory;
class Booking extends \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action
{
/**
* Booking action
*
* @return void
*/
public function execute()
{
// 1. POST request : Get booking data
$post = (array) $this->getRequest()->getPost();
if (!empty($post)) {
// Retrieve your form data
$firstname = $post['firstname'];
$lastname = $post['lastname'];
$phone = $post['phone'];
$bookingTime = $post['bookingTime'];
// Doing-something with...
// Display the succes form validation message
$this->messageManager->addSuccessMessage('Booking done !');
// Redirect to your form page (or anywhere you want...)
$resultRedirect = $this->resultFactory->create(ResultFactory::TYPE_REDIRECT);
$resultRedirect->setUrl('/companymodule/index/booking');
return $resultRedirect;
}
// 2. GET request : Render the booking page
$this->_view->loadLayout();
$this->_view->renderLayout();
}
}
I ran the following commands:
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento cache:flush
But I cannot get the frontend to show when going to .../companymodule/index/booking or .../module/index/booking
EDIT:
Big part of this issue was me not having Company/Module/registration.php and Company/Module/etc/module.xml file in place.
