Creating multilanguage form fields

[Moebius 3]

I'm trying to build custom form (module) and I want to make text fields multilanguage as they are in normal Processwire environment.

This is some of code I have:

<?php 

    $form = $this->modules->get('InputfieldForm');

    $field = $this->modules->get('InputfieldText');
    $field->label = 'Title';
    $field->name = 'title';
    $field->columnWidth = 100;
    $field->required = 1;
    $fieldset->add($field);

    $form->add($fieldset);

    return $form->render();
?>

 

This is what I got:

 

And this is what I want - with language switch at top:

 

Is it possible to accomplish with API?

I think you'll have to define your input field as type "TextareaLanguage" or "TextLanguage".

And in your module use something like 

$field->label = _('Title');

dobro vece dragane 

however, still no language switch at top.

also tried with:

$field->type = new FieldtypeTextLanguage();

but with no success.

Perhaps you'll need to uninstall and reinstall your module. Or click at the bottom button in modules > clear compiled files, to see your changes.

Evo da se i ja ukljucim, rijetko sam ovdje

There you need to include FieldtypeLanguageInterface, or if you watch at TextareaLanguage, or TextLanguage you will see this part in Fieldtype class:

class FieldtypeTextareaLanguage extends FieldtypeTextarea implements FieldtypeLanguageInterface {
...

or in TextLanguage

class FieldtypeTextLanguage extends FieldtypeText implements FieldtypeLanguageInterface {

After that, in Inputfield part you only need to use eg. textarea or text:

class InputfieldMyNewField extends InputfieldTextarea {

Inside ___render() part you do not need to include multilanguage input because PW magic will do the rest...

Try to set useLanguages property to true.

$field->useLanguages = true;

Yes Zeka! That it solution.
Now I see it in documentation, somehow lost between all other properties

Thanks everyone for contribution.
