Adding more than one data to a field

[Cengiz Deniz]

Hello, I am newbee. This is my first message. I am trying to learn PW. After modx, I loved it very much.

My question:

I am tryin to make a site which shows people and their aforism. I made a field but just one aphorism can input.

How can I add more data to a field ?

This is my previous page which made with modx : https://cdeniz.com/k105/Nazim-Hikmet.html

Thank you

Welcome to the forum @Cengiz Deniz

 

About your question, you could use a Repeater for the aphorisms in your template.

First read this doc :  http://processwire.com/api/fieldtypes/repeaters/ ,  you should get an idea on how repeaters works.

 

So for your example, you could make a new text field called aphorism_title and a new repeater called aphorism_repeater. Finally you add the text field 'aphorism_title' to the repeater. You should end up with something like that :

 

In your page template, you add the repeater field you just created, and add some aphorism to it :

 

Then in the template code, a simple foreach loop will do the job to show all the aphorisms in a list:

<h3>ÖzlüSözleri</h3>
<?php
     $aphorisms_list = '';
     foreach($page->aphorism_repeater as $aphorism) 
     {
          $aphorisms_list .= "<li>{$aphorism->aphorism_title}</li>"    
     }
     
?>
<ol>
<?php echo $aphorisms_list; ?>
</ol>  

 

Hope its clear enough, you can adapt it depending the output strategy you use, but do not hesitate to ask more information.

Good luck!

Second step  :

Every aphorism should have one or more topics fields. Is it possible ?

 

Thank you again

Surely, but I don't get what you mean by one or more topics fields, could you explain a bit further whats your needs and/or show us what you already tried ?

 

Maybe are you talking having an aphorism with a reference to a page in the PageTree ?

[Cengiz Deniz]

actualy i want to add tags to repeated aforisms. every aforism should has one or more tag (subject)

Keep in mind that there a are other better ways to achieve this. You should read this tutorial made by @kongondo : 

 

Anyway, to continue with the repeater and to add tags to your aforisms you could create a new template "aforisms_tags" and a page in the PageTree called "Aforisms Tags", assign the template "aforisms_tags" to this new page; And add some children to this page: tag1, tag2, tag3...

Then you create a new field of type PageReference , set the option Input Field Type to "AsmSelect" and set the option Parent to the new created page "Aforisms Tags". Then you add the field to your "aforisms_repeater".

Illustration :

                     

 

There is the code :

$aphorisms_list = '';
$tags = '';
foreach($page->aforisms_repeater as $aforism)
{
    $aphorisms_list .= "<li>";
    $aphorisms_list .= $aforism->aforisms_title;

    foreach ($aforism->aforisms_tags as $tag) {
        $tags .= "<span class='tag' style='margin: 3px; color: red;'>";
        $tags .= $tag->title;
        $tags .= '</span>';
    }
    $aphorisms_list .= "{$tags}</li>";
}

$content .= "<ol>{$aphorisms_list}</ol>";

[Cengiz Deniz]
