Module Inputfield: how to check if the field currently is used on a repeater item?

[horst]

Hey, I know I used it already somewhere but can not remember / find it now. ?

Within an Inputfield in a PageEditor, it can be important to detect if the inputfield is on the base page or on a repeater item.

Exactly I need to get the precise name of the field. For example if a user named his field foo, I can get the name by calling $this->hasField->name from within my inputfield module. When the field is on a repeater, its final name is not foo but foo_repeater1234. That's what I'm after.

What method(s) can help me to get this from within the inpufield module?

I think what you're looking for is the "name" attribute. So if $inputfield is an Inputfield object:

$inputfield->name // The name of the input element within the form, which has a suffix when inside a repeater
$inputfield->hasField->name // The name of the corresponding field (if the inputfield is associated with a field)
