PageField and Pedigrees...

[PhotoWebMax]

Wow. Boggles the mind at the skills some of you guys have...

This could be a commercial module: think of the all the dog breeders who could use something like this...

Awesome!

What Martijn here shares with us that's just about the limit. We/ I can learn so much from the Code inside.

I asked Martijn if he can help me with my pedigree problem to output the familytree and he gave me back a complete basic Homepage structur and THREE new modules!!!

THANK YOU

PS I hope you share this modules also in the "Modules-Section" because they are really helpful and others can be inspired for own modules - I for one am it.

Those modules are purely written for this setup. You take them out of the site then they won't function. I don't see value for those in Modules section, that list should be clean. (less is more)

- If you want to get insight of the working for the tabs (ProcessPageEdit::buildForm) go for Soma's TemplateNotes

- For the Process module, take a look at ProcessHello (ryan's great howto do process modules )

In basic, modules are not hard to do. When you know what to hook, and you know how to get the $event object and you know how to give it back, then it's not much different from working in your templates.

There are many modules around here. And in a lot of circumstances others already have done these three things for you. If you take those as starting point, you only have to write some basic PHP.

Don't let the word .module "fog" your mind

Damn, wish I found this one a bit earlier, I did practically the same thing, could of saved me some time.

Still, excellent stuff and insights!

Hello @all,

its just a few days gone since Martijn write this beautiful code and PW is now in Version 2.6.1. available.

This is the reason why i answer to this Thread, yesterday i updated my Installation with this code from Version 2.4.0 to 2.6.1 and at the first look around it seems all good. But when i open now a horse page in the backend i get the following Error:

Recoverable Fatal Error: Argument 1 passed to InputfieldWrapper::append() must be an instance of Inputfield, boolean given, called in /www/htdocs/xxxxx/site/modules/HorseFamilyEdit.module on line 151 and defined (line 192 of /www/htdocs/xxxxx/wire/core/InputfieldWrapper.php) 
This error message was shown because you are logged in as a Superuser. Error has been logged. Administrator has been notified. 

This are the lines from "HorseFamilyEdit.module"

        // Markup
        $markup = $this->modules->get('InputfieldMarkup');
        $markup->label = $this->_("Kinder");
        $markup->value = $table->render();
        $wrapper->append($markup);
        $view = $form->find("id=ProcessPageEditView")->first();
        $form->remove($view);
        $form->append($wrapper)->append($view);
    }
}

And the the InputFieldWrapper Code are the same in Version 2.4.0 and 2.6.1, the only difference are the line in the file.

My Question is now, could somebody help me?

Thanks in advance

Ralf

There are changes made in the PW core regarding Tabs & Fieldset. I've no time now, but I gonna see what I can do for you this week after work.

[Martijn Geerts]

Hi Ralph

// remove these lines:
$view = $form->find("id=ProcessPageEditView")->first();
$form->remove($view);
$form->append($wrapper)->append($view);

// Replace it with:
$form->prepend($wrapper);

Then the it should work again. (Note that the family Tab is now the last tab, after view, sorry about that)

[Ralf]

Hi Martijn,

thank you very much! It works perfektly again

Have a nice Weekend
