Get configuration Inputfields for this InputfieldWrapper
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
$inputfieldFieldsetTabOpen->getConfigInputfields();Return value
InputfieldWrapper Populated with Inputfield instances
Hooking InputfieldFieldsetTabOpen::getConfigInputfields()
You can add your own hook events that are executed either before or after the Inputfield method is executed. Examples of both are included below. A good place for hook code such as this is in your /site/ready.php file.
Hooking before
The 'before' hooks are called immediately before each Inputfield method call is executed. This type of hook is especially useful for modifying arguments before they are sent to the method.
$this->addHookBefore('InputfieldFieldsetTabOpen::getConfigInputfields', function(HookEvent $event) {
// Get the object the event occurred on, if needed
$InputfieldFieldsetTabOpen = $event->object;
/* Your code here, perhaps modifying arguments */
// Populate back arguments (if you have modified them)
}); Hooking after
The 'after' hooks are called immediately after each Inputfield method call is executed. This type of hook is especially useful for modifying the value that was returned by the method call.
$this->addHookAfter('InputfieldFieldsetTabOpen::getConfigInputfields', function(HookEvent $event) {
// Get the object the event occurred on, if needed
$InputfieldFieldsetTabOpen = $event->object;
// An 'after' hook can retrieve and/or modify the return value
$return = $event->return;
/* Your code here, perhaps modifying the return value */
// Populate back return value, if you have modified it
$event->return = $return;
