Hook in Select Dropdown modifies option attributes

Recommended Posts

In a project I had to add the attribute 'disable' to some options of a select field (page reference) to show them but make them unselectable. Since I could not find an integrated solution, I wrote a tiny module and a hook. This could also be a POC to similar needs.

  1. Install module
  2. Add the Module to InputfieldPage in the module settings to make it selectable as Inputfield for page reference fields
  3. Create a hook in ready.php to manipulate attributes of the <option> tag for specified items


Module

<?php namespace ProcessWire;

/**
 * POC Inputfield Select Hook Add Option -- Replacement for InputfieldSelect
 *
 * Selection of a single value from a select pulldown. Same like InputfieldSelect
 * except this version provides hookable addOption() function which allows to modify
 * attributes of the <option> tag (i. e. 'disabled' to show items but disallow to select them
 *
 * @author Christoph Thelen aka @kixe
 *
 */

class InputfieldSelectHookAddOption extends InputfieldSelect {

	/**
	 * Return information about this module
	 *
	 */
	public static function getModuleInfo() {
		return array(
			'title' => __('Select Hookable Add Option', __FILE__), // Module Title
			'summary' => __('Selection of a single value from a select pulldown. Same like InputfieldSelect. except this version provides hookable addOption() function which allows to modify attributes of the <option> tag (e.g. \'disabled\' to show items in dropdown but disallow to select', __FILE__), // Module Summary
			'version' => 100,
			);
	}

	/**
	 * Hook in here to modify attributes
	 */
	public function ___addOptionAttributes($value, $label) {
		return array();
	}

	/**
	 * @see InputfieldSelect::addOption()
	 *
	 */
	public function addOption($value, $label = null, array $attributes = null) {
		if (!is_array($attributes)) $attributes = array();
		$attributes = array_merge($attributes, $this->addOptionAttributes($value, $label));
		return parent::addOption($value, $label, $attributes);
	}
}


Hook

/**
 * This example hook modifies the attributes of the selectable options of a Pagereference field named 'test'.
 * The selectable pages have the template 'test' assigned which includes a checkbox 'disallow'.
 * The attribute 'disabled' will be added to the selectable page if the user does not have the role 'user-extended' and 'disallow' is set.
 *
 */
$wire->addHookAfter('InputfieldSelectHookAddOption::addOptionAttributes', function($e) {
    // quick exit
    if ($e->object->name != 'test') return;
    if ($this->wire('user')->isSuperuser()|| $this->wire('user')->hasRole('user-extended')) return;
    // disable items (pages) in select
    $restrictedPageIDs = $this->wire('pages')->find('template=test,disallow=1')->each('id');
    if (in_array($e->arguments[0], $restrictedPageIDs)) $e->return = array('disabled' => 'disabled');
});

That is where I was stuck. It is not populating the default value into the dropdown. The value remains unchanged. I checked the value of $form['egender'] using dpm() and the default_value still showing integer 1. But the dropdown value remains unchanged rather than showing "Female" What am I missing?

@zimali. Consider this your final warning. You have been posting Drupal stuff in the ProcessWire forums. You have, presumably,  ignored my request for clarification. This has trolling written all over it.

We have a lot of selects that are fairly similar so I'd like to have a wrapper for select that encompasses this commonality with data to change the behavior, changing the properties of an object is easier than adding/removing/manipulating html.

Since PW >= 3.0.105 you can easily use the following hook.

    $wire->addHookBefore('InputfieldSelect::render', function($e) {
        if ($e->object->name != 'myfield') return; // quick exit if fieldname doesn't match
        $restrictedIDs = array(); // array of option values to be modified, page IDs in case of pagefield
        $optionAttributes = array_fill_keys($restrictedIDs, array('disabled' => 'disabled'));
        $e->object->addOptionAttributes($optionAttributes);
    });
