I have the basic xml file where in I call subforms into two tabs. Called Tab 1 and Tab 2. The content of this file is below.
mod_something.xml
<fieldset name="tab1"> <field name="storymaker" type="subform" formsource="/modules/mod_something/models/forms/storymaker.xml" min="1" max="9999999999" multiple="true" layout="joomla.form.field.subform.repeatable-table" groupByFieldset="false" buttons="" label="MOD_SOMETHING_-STORYMAKER-_LABEL" description="MOD_SOMETHING_-STORYMAKER-_DESC" /> </fieldset> <fieldset name="tab2"> <field name="characters" type="subform" formsource="/modules/mod_something/models/forms/characters.xml" min="1" max="9999999999" multiple="true" layout="joomla.form.field.subform.repeatable-table" groupByFieldset="false" buttons="" label="MOD_SOMETHING_-CHARACTERS-_LABEL" description="MOD_SOMETHING_-CHARACTERS-_DESC" /> </fieldset> Now in the form that is loaded into tab1 I have this content.
storymaker.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <form> <field name="characterselection" label="" type="characterselection"/> </form> the form in tab 2 consists out of this:
characters.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <form> <field name="character_name" type="text" default="" label="MOD_SOMETHING_-CHARACTERNAME-_LABEL" description="MOD_SOMETHING_-CHARACTERNAME-_DESC" size="10" /> </form> In tab 1 I use a custom field this custom field is build up like this:
<?php // Check to ensure this file is included in Joomla! defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); jimport('joomla.form.formfield'); $document = JFactory::getDocument(); $jinput = JFactory::getApplication()->input; $characters = $params->get('characters'); //$characters1 = $jinput->json->get('characters'); //$characters2 = $jinput->get('characters', null, null); //$characters3 = $jinput->get->get('characters', NULL, NULL); //$characters4 = $jinput->post->get('characters', NULL, NULL); //$characters5 = $jinput->server->get('characters', NULL, NULL); class JFormFieldCharacterSelection extends JFormField { protected $type = 'characterselection'; public function getInput() { foreach ($characters as $character) { $character[] = $row->character_name; } // Merge any additional options in the XML definition. $options = array_merge(parent::getInput(), $character); return $options; } } I have already tried everything I could think off but to no good. So here I am asking for your help.
what do I want to achieve
A) In tab2 I have a list of names created via a repeatable subform so that it can be 10 names or a 1000.
B) In tab1 I have another repeatable subform wherein I want to display a dropdown generated from the names given in tab2.
C) Then I want to show these names on the frontend via the normal foreach used for the subforms.
$storymaker = $params->get('storymaker'); foreach ($storymaker as $sm) : echo $sm->characterselection . ' '; echo '<br><br>'; endforeach; what have I achieved so far
Sadly I only have achieved A. So I need help with B and I think that if that works C goes automatically alright but if not I might need help with that as well.
what have I tried so far
I tried every single thing I could find on the internet about subforms and using parameters from a module inside a module. You can see parts of this left in the above code (commented).
sorry for not being able to give short pinpointed code.
I had to put up all the files that are related to my problem otherwise I think no one would be able to understand what I am talking about. But sorry for the long text and code pieces.
