Set InputField unrequired via hook

[Torsten Baldes]

Hi,

I have a website with some users and admins who create and administrate these users. In their user profile is a checkbox which is set to required.

When the admins create or edit an user they have to check this checkbox to be able to publish this user. But this checkbox should only be checked by the user itself.

So I want to set this checkbox to "unrequired" when a user with a certain role is editing this profile. I tried to do this with the following hook (check for role not yet included), but I can't get it to work.

 

wire()->addHookBefore('InputfieldCheckbox::render', function (HookEvent $event) {
    if ($event->object->name != 'consent') return;

    $field = $event->object;

	$field->required = false;
	$field->set('required', 0);

});

 

It catches the right field but it doesn't set the field to unrequired.

Is this hook too late in the chain or do I have to do this with another property or method?

 

Thanks!

Hi Torsden,

try to use ProcessPageEdit::buildForm, do a google search for this exact phrase and see if you can get examples. Sorry, on mobile ?

The principle is to get the right field in the hook and then just change the "required" setting.

Hi bernhart ;-),

thanks, that did the trick!

Here's my code, if someone also needs to do this:

wire()->addHookAfter('ProcessPageEdit::buildForm', function (HookEvent $e) {
	// skip the whole thing and return, if the user has not the proper role
	if (!wire('user')->hasRole('superuser') && !wire('user')->hasRole('useradmin')) return;

	$form = $e->return;
	$boxes = ['privacy', 'consent'];

	foreach ($boxes as $box) {
		$boxfield = $form->getChildByName($box);
		if($boxfield){
			$boxfield->required = false;
		}
	}
});
