Create an array of configdatas in a blocktype plugin for Mahara


13 July 2020, 20:01

Hello,

I'm trying to create fields when in a blocktype there are for example 2 fields in a configdata:

But in this way I can't access to the array fields ('infos' fields). The result is empty :

How can I do it with the forms library Pieforms?
Thank you very much!

Hi De Chiara Antonella,

If I understand correctly you are wanting to pair together two related fields?

I think what you might need is a fieldset element, eg

for ($i = 1; $i <= $configdata['nbofevents']; $i++) {
    $data['event' . $i . 'set'] = array(
        'type' => 'fieldset',
        'legend' => get_string( ... fieldset title ... ),
        'elements' => array(
            'event' . $i => array(
                'type' => 'text',
                'title' => get_string( ... event title ... ),
                 .... and so on
            ),
            'eventtext' . $i => array (
                'type' => 'text',
                'title' => get_string( ... eventtext title ... ),
                 .... and so on
            ),
        ),
    );
}

That way you can group fields into sub groups of all the elements - an example of this is the Admin -> Configuration -> Site options form where the form is split into groups with fieldsets

Cheers
