Getting option fields for module

[Harmster]

Hey everyone,

I would like to start off saying that I am sorry for posting this but I couldn't find something about this and I really need to know this ASAP.

So I want to create a module where the admin can enter an API key in the module settings, how do i create that input field and more important, how and where do i save the information he admin has entered?

Much appreciated and thanks in advance!

Your module has to implement the ConfigureableModule Interface:

class MyModule extends WireData implements Module, ConfigurableModule

Then you can implement the following method, PW will handle saving and displaying the module options!

static public function getModuleConfigInputfields(array $data) {
 $fields = new InputfieldWrapper();

 //Generate a Text field for entering the API Key
 $field = $modules->get("InputfieldText");
 $field->attr('name+id', 'apiKey');
 $field->attr('value', $data['apiKey']);
 $field->label = "API Key (Developer Key)";
 $field->description = 'Enter the API key';
 $fields->append($field);
 return $fields;
}

The code above should let you save the API Key in the module config options. Now in your module, you can retrieve the key:

$apiKey = $this->get('apiKey');
//or $apiKey = $this->apiKey;

Hope this helps!

Also I suggest looking at other modules which have config options

Thank you Wanze, it worked.

However for some reason it seems that I can't use the methods from my class in the website.

I've set autoload to true and i've set a fuel like this

public static function getModuleInfo() {
 return array(
	 'title' => 'Mailchimp',
	 'version' => 101,
	 'summary' => 'An example module used for demonstration purposes. See the /site/modules/Helloworld.module file for details.',
	 'singular' => true,
	 'autoload' => true,
	 );
}
public function init()
{
 $this->setFuel("mailchimp", $this);
}
public function get_apikey(){
return $apiKey = $this->get('apiKey');
}

But when i try to use it like this:

$api_key = $mailchimp->get_apikey();
echo $api_key;

With the error:

Error Call to a member function get_apikey() on a non-object (line 11 of /home/harm/NetBeansProjects/phpScriptjes/mailchimp/site/templates/basic-page.php)

This error message was shown because you are logged in as a Superuser. Error has been logged.

Any thoughts?

EDIT:

Also when i try to use $this in any context within the class i get errors like these:

Error Using $this when not in object context (line 34 of /home/harm/NetBeansProjects/phpScriptjes/mailchimp/site/modules/Mailchimp.module)

Error Call to a member function get_apikey() on a non-object

in this case $mailchimp isn't an object.

Maybe you have set autload to true after installing module? Try reinstall it, as it won't change it if youc hange the code solely.

Also when i try to use $this in any context within the class i get errors like these:

This is if you call $this inside an static method.

I tried reinstalling and i got this error:

Try changing $this->setFuel to

Wire::setFuel('mailchimp', $this); 

[Soma]

Maybe you could provide the full code of your module?

$this->fuel->set("bla", $this);

works fine.

I found out why i did not work, it was a PHP problem with the static class...

Thanks all
