CKEditor for module config

[Inxentas]

Hi there! I'm writing a module for a website, and it needs to store a bit of text. This works fine:

$inputfields = parent::getInputfields();
$message = $this->modules->get('InputfieldTextarea');
$message->attr('name', 'message');
$message->label = 'Message';
$message->required = true;
$message->set("inputfieldClass", "InputfieldCKEditor");
$inputfields->add($message);

...except the part about the inputfieldClass. Is it possible to make these fields have a "CKEditor" instead? My client would need to add a little markup.

Just use InputfieldCKEditor directly instead of InputfieldTextarea. You're talking about direct application of Inputfields here. The inputfieldClass needs to be set if you are attaching a field (a FieldtypeTextarea, not InputfieldTextarea) to a template for use in pages.

Wow, thanks for your speedy reply @BitPoet! This worked like a charm. I didn't realize the input class was only required for templates. Will this play nice with multi language websites, by the way? I might was well implement multi language support right away.

You're welcome. You can set the useLanguages flag on the CKEditor field to get multi language support.

$message->useLanguages = true;

The only thing you need to aware of is that, as far as I know, there is no fallback to the default language's value if the value in the current language is empty.

Amazing how simple ProcessWire stuff can be to implement! Having no fall back is fine, but thanks for that heads up.
