InputfieldFieldset

InputfieldFieldset adds no unique public properties. Common inherited properties include:

render()

Renders the fieldset child contents. As with other Inputfields, the fieldset wrapper markup, label, description, and collapsed state are applied by the parent InputfieldWrapper or InputfieldForm when it renders this fieldset as a child.

$form = $modules->get('InputfieldForm');
$form->add($fieldset);
echo $form->render();

The implementation appends an extra newline to the parent wrapper output. This is intentional: it prevents parent wrappers from skipping an otherwise empty fieldset. Empty fieldsets are used by modules such as InputfieldRepeater to display label and description text.

This method is hookable as InputfieldFieldset::render.

getModuleInfo()

Returns module metadata for ProcessWire module discovery. It is not normally called by site code.

Fieldsets can contain other fieldsets:

$personal = $modules->get('InputfieldFieldset');
$personal->label = 'Personal Information';

$address = $modules->get('InputfieldFieldset');
$address->label = 'Address';
$address->collapsed = Inputfield::collapsedYes;

$street = $modules->get('InputfieldText');
$street->name = 'street';
$street->label = 'Street';
$address->add($street);

$personal->add($address);
$form->add($personal);

Deep nesting can make admin forms harder to scan, so use nested fieldsets only when the grouping helps the user.

Unlike a plain InputfieldWrapper, an empty InputfieldFieldset is not skipped entirely by parent wrappers. Its direct render() result is a newline, so parent wrappers still treat it as output and can render the fieldset label/description.

If you need an empty fieldset hidden, hide it explicitly:

if(!count($fieldset->children())) {
    $fieldset->collapsed = Inputfield::collapsedHidden;
}

$wire->addHookBefore('InputfieldFieldset::render', function(HookEvent $event) {
    $fieldset = $event->object; /** @var InputfieldFieldset $fieldset */
    $fieldset->addClass('my-custom-fieldset', 'wrapClass');
});

$wire->addHookAfter('InputfieldFieldset::render', function(HookEvent $event) {
    $event->return .= '<div class="fieldset-footer">End of section</div>';
});

Inherited wrapper hooks, such as InputfieldWrapper::renderInputfield, are also available when working with child Inputfields.

• Access this inputfield with $modules->get('InputfieldFieldset').
• Each $modules->get('InputfieldFieldset') call returns a new instance.
• The module is permanent and cannot be uninstalled.
• The empty-fieldset rendering behavior is intentional and should not be removed without checking modules that rely on it, especially repeaters.
