create pagearray field with api? (multipage select field?)

[neildaemond]

Quick question for anyone who is familiar with it..

If creating a new text field with the api looks something like this:

$nf = new Field();  

$nf->type = $this->modules->get(FieldTypeText);

$nf->save();

Then how would I create that field which allows me to select multiple pages (which module do I get and set type as)

I usually just choose from modules under wire/modules/Fieldtype. But, in this case I'm not sure which one it is.

I know I could dereference any pagearray as a string and save the pipe delemited string to the text field, but I'd liek to have the pageselect functionality in the admin.

Thanks In Advance

The module is FieldtypePage. I'm not sure how to configure the field options...

$f = new Field();
$f->type = $this->modules->get("FieldtypePage");
$f->name = 'mypageselect';
$f->label = 'Select Page';
$f->derefAsPage = FieldtypePage::derefAsPageOrNullPage;
$f->inputfield = 'InputfieldPageListSelect';
$f->save();
 

or

$f->derefAsPage = FieldtypePage::derefAsPageArray;
$f->inputfield = 'InputfieldAsmSelect';

etc

Soma, but how do you define the input field type?

$f->inputfield, just like soma has in his examples. Or what do you mean Diogo?

Here are few more examples: https://github.com/apeisa/CustomPageRoles/blob/master/CustomPageRoles.module#L198

I didn't see the second example before... Soma, didn't you edit your answer?

[apeisa]

Of course he edited, it's a trademark

You sneaky you...

I'm trying to do my field creations with the api but I never know how to configure the field options either. Is there any documentation for this?

$f = new Field();
$f->type = $this->modules->get("FieldtypePage");
$f->name = 'mypageselect';
$f->label = 'Select Page';
$f->derefAsPage = FieldtypePage::derefAsPageOrNullPage;
$f->inputfield = 'InputfieldPageListSelect';
$f->save();
 

or

$f->derefAsPage = FieldtypePage::derefAsPageArray;
$f->inputfield = 'InputfieldAsmSelect';

etc

thanks, wow I would have never of guessed.

Theres a documentation directly in core. Just look at what options a fieldtype has by looking at the code in wire modules.

It's already there in the first example...
