Inputfield get config inputfields

Get any custom configuration fields for this Inputfield

  • Intended to be extended by each Inputfield as needed to add more config options.

  • The returned InputfieldWrapper ultimately ends up as the "Input" tab in the fields editor (admin).

  • Descending Inputfield classes should first call this method from the parent class to get the default configuration fields and the InputfieldWrapper they can add to.

  • Returned Inputfield instances with a name attribute that starts with an underscore, i.e. "_myname" are assumed to be for runtime use and are NOT stored in the database.

  • If you prefer, you may instead implement the Inputfield::getConfigArray() method as an alternative.

Example

// Example getConfigInputfields() implementation
public function ___getConfigInputfields() {
  // Get the defaults and $inputfields wrapper we can add to
  $inputfields = parent::___getConfigInputfields();
  // Add a new Inputfield to it
  $f = $this->wire('modules')->get('InputfieldText');
  $f->attr('name', 'first_name');
  $f->attr('value', $this->get('first_name'));
  $f->label = 'Your First Name';
  $inputfields->add($f);
  return $inputfields;
}

Usage

$inputfieldWrapper = $inputfield->getConfigInputfields();

Return value

InputfieldWrapper

Populated with Inputfield instances
