I inherited a web project that has been developed using Zend Framwork and Redbean Simple Model, and I am not too familiar with these.
Pages seem to be generated dynamically to edit entities. The problem I am facing is that html elements in the dynamically generated pages sections appear to have randomly generated id attributes. Each time I reload a page, the elements will have different id's. The id's look like fo-1384467680734.
This is a problem for me, since I cannot write any css or any jquery code specific to some DOM elements. Maybe one solution would be to give specific css classes to elements I am targeting, but I don't even know if this is possible.
Did anyone ever face that problem? Did you find a solution?
The original company that developed the web site is not maintaining it anymore, and my client asked me to take care of it and fix a few things on it.
UPDATE:
To be more specific, there is form on the web site to add new retailers. So there is a Retailer entity which is related to the Retailers table in the database. As far as I understand from the code the form is generated dynamically based on some definitions in a class (see code below).
As you can see in the code, a retailer has a province and a region. There are dropdown lists on the form to select the province and the region when adding a new retailer. However, these dropdown lists are "dumb" and I would like to make them a bit more "intelligent" with some jQuery. I would like the region dropdown list to show only the regions that are within the selected province. It would be no problem for me to do this normally, except here I don't know how to access the dropdown lists. I would need them to have fixed id's or to be able to assign them classes, but I don't know how to do this in this context.
Retailer Definition:
Class Default_Model_retailers extends Appclass_Redbean_SimpleModel {
/* Db fields properties
*/
public $type = "retailers";
public function getEntityModel() {
return $this;
}
public function getOrderClause()
{
return " 1 ORDER BY name ASC ";
}
public function getListColModel()
{
$cols = ( array(
0 => (object) array('headerLabel' => 'Nom', 'fieldName' =>'name', 'width' => 110),
1 => (object) array('headerLabel' => 'Adresse', 'fieldName' => 'address_', 'width' => 110, 'type' => 'multiFields', 'fieldsList' => 'address.address2'),
//1 => (object) array('headerLabel' => 'Adresse', 'fieldName' => 'address', 'width' => 20),
2 => (object) array('headerLabel' => 'Code Postal', 'fieldName' =>'postcode', 'width' => 20),
3 => (object) array('headerLabel' => 'Province', 'fieldName' =>'province_id', 'width' => 50, 'type'=>'one2one', 'table.label'=>'provinces.abbrev'),

6 => (object) array('headerLabel' => 'Actions', 'fieldName' =>'actions', 'width' => 100)
));
return $cols;
}
public function getDefinition() {
$exp = (object) array(
'id' => (object) array(
'label' => 'id',
'type' => 'refid'
),
'name' => (object) array(
'label' => 'Nom du revendeur',
'type' => 'text'

'address' => (object) array(
'label' => 'Adresse',
'type' => 'text'

'address2' => (object) array(
'label' => 'Adresse Ligne 2',
'type' => 'text'
),
'city' => (object) array(
'label' => 'Ville',
'type' => 'text'
),
'province_id' => (object) array(
'label' => 'Province',
'type' => 'select',
'subtype' => 'provinces',
'subtype_label' => 'name_fr'
),
'region_id' => (object) array(
'label' => 'Région administrative',

'subtype_label' => 'name_fr'
),
'phone' => (object) array(
'label' => 'Tél. (XXX) XXX-XXXX ',
'type' => 'text'
),
'postcode' => (object) array(
'label' => 'Code Postal (XXXXXX)',
'type' => 'text',
'filter' => 'postcode'
),
'contact' => (object) array(
'label' => 'Personne Ressource',
'type' => 'text'
),
'latitude' => (object) array(
'label' => 'Latitude',
'type' => 'text'
),
'longitude' => (object) array(
'label' => 'Longitude',
'type' => 'text'
)
);
return $exp;
}
public function getListEditDefinition() {
$exp = (object) array(
'id' => (object) array(
'label' => 'id',
'type' => 'refid'
),
'name' => (object) array(
'label' => 'Nom du revendeur',
'type' => 'text'
)
);
return $exp;
}
public function getProvince()
{
$province = R::load('provinces', $this->province_id);
return $province;
}
}
There are also similar classes for the province and the regions entities. I won't post that code for now not to make this post too heavy, but I could if need be.
