add nested forms

[jika]

Hello,
I need to create a module with nested forms (calling many tables of the database) with a dynamic number of fields (like listwizard but recursively)
for example if I want to create a todo list (in the backoffice), I need to add a text input for the list name under which I can add todo items. and then add another list name ... (like the attached file)

do you have any idea?
thanks for the help

Hey jika

You need to create own wizard. I did this way drag'n'drop permission system.

Take a look at /system/modules/backend/OptionWizard.php
When you are finished with php code, go to your config module and add line:
[code=php:2wzc5oh8]<span class="syntaxdefault">
</span><span class="syntaxcomment">/**
***Form*fields
**/
</span><span class="syntaxdefault">$GLOBALS</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">[</span><span class="syntaxstring">'BE_FFL'</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">][</span><span class="syntaxstring">'yourWizard'</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">]</span><span class="syntaxdefault">*</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">=</span><span class="syntaxdefault">*</span><span class="syntaxstring">'YourWizard'</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">;
</span><span class="syntaxdefault">*</span>[/code:2wzc5oh8]
Where YourWizard is the name of the class you created previously.

Then, in DCA you would be able to use it with "inputType" key:
[code=php:2wzc5oh8]<span class="syntaxdefault">
</span><span class="syntaxstring">'asd'</span><span class="syntaxdefault">*</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">=></span><span class="syntaxdefault">*array
</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">(
</span><span class="syntaxdefault">****</span><span class="syntaxstring">'label'</span><span class="syntaxdefault">************** *****</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">=></span><span class="syntaxdefault">*</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">&</span><span class="syntaxdefault">$GLOBALS</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">[</span><span class="syntaxstring">'TL_LANG'</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">][</span><span class="syntaxstring">'tl_module'</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">][</span><span class="syntaxstring">'asd'</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">],
</span><span class="syntaxdefault">****</span><span class="syntaxstring">'exclude'</span><span class="syntaxdefault">************** ***</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">=></span><span class="syntaxdefault">*true</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">,
</span><span class="syntaxdefault">****</span><span class="syntaxstring">'inputType'</span><span class="syntaxdefault">************** *</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">=></span><span class="syntaxdefault">*</span><span class="syntaxstring">'yourWizard'
</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">)
</span><span class="syntaxdefault">*</span>[/code:2wzc5oh8]

hello

thank you for the answer, I tried to do like you told me but now I need to call an optionWizard from my customWizard (I need to reuse the code) but I can't do it, I tried a
$opt = OptionWizard->new() and $opt->generate()
it displays the optionWizard but don't save the data in the database neither calls the function that should be called (in save_callback)


do you have an idea?

Why won't you copy and paste the code from OptionWizard to CustomWizard and adjust it to your needs?

I guess you might need to use
[code=php:557lkjqr]<span class="syntaxdefault">
$opt</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">-></span><span class="syntaxdefault">value*</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">=</span><span class="syntaxdefault">*serialize</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">(</span><span class="syntaxdefault">$arrValue</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">);
</span><span class="syntaxdefault">*</span>[/code:557lkjqr]
to pass the data. Then try to generate.

Also check if the field in database is the BLOB type.
