Create setting for extension

askvortsov

SychO If you copied this code directly, you need to define the variables for label and text, or use the translator there directly.

You don't need a textarea for an email field.

askvortsov anyone knows if exist an extension similar to what i need? just to see the code?

idea:
Frontend:
new page on flarum (i definitely know how can i do this)

Backend:
a textarea when admin can put a simple text (better if with html but i'm pretty sure this will greatly increase the difficulty)

Frontend again:
display the text in the custom page

someone could say "its simple" 😆

askvortsov

Justoverclock Isn't this just fof pages?

Justoverclock

askvortsov true....I wanted to see if you were paying attention 😆

Justoverclock

askvortsov i trying to understand better how can i get input value from settings and inject this directly to the code...

i don't know if i'm wrong but i think i need a controller right?
to clarify: thats my actual situation:

i have this in settings:

this field accept number, so if admin sets, 5 (for example) i need to replace this in frontend index.js (number 2 in this case must be 5):
vdom.children.splice(2, 0, insert);

what is the simplest way?

SychO

Justoverclock which frontend do you want to get the setting's value ? forum or admin ?

Justoverclock

SychO forum

SychO

Justoverclock you first need to expose the value of the setting to the forum frontend, you can use the Settings extender for that

(new Extend\Settings)
    ->serializeToForum('settingName', 'extension_id.setting_name'),

then you can access it in the frontend like so

app.forum.attribute('settingName');

more details in https://docs.flarum.org/extend/settings.html#settings-in-the-frontend

SychO thank you,
So In this case

app.forum.attribute('settingName'); Is the number submitted in the input field

SychO

Justoverclock correct

Justoverclock

SychO can u help me to find the right way to call the signup and login button also?

SychO

Justoverclock you mean open the modals ?

app.modal.show(SignUpModal);

Justoverclock

SychO I need to create a button that link on signup modal for guest

SychO

Justoverclock checkout how the current buttons are coded

SychO thanks this works fine!

There’s any way to modify the input fields length on admin settings?

E.g. I want the field to be longer (to insert a sentence)

clarkwinkelmann

Justoverclock the column width of a setting is fixed and can't be changed, however it's quite long (MySQL TEXT field), so it should easily fit whatever you need.

To create a field that makes it user-friendly to insert a longer text, a textarea can be used as described by SychO above.

For future readers of this thread I see we now have an issue to track the addition of the textarea as a standard setting type that you created flarum/core2809

Justoverclock

clarkwinkelmann fine, it works for me

but if no one put a text on the admin settings for the first time, there's no default value? i've tried with "placeholder" but obviously not work.

how can i set the "default" text?

should i use "value"?

Justoverclock should i use "value"?

Yes.

Justoverclock

010101 thanks, i will make a try, now i'm trying to understand how to use toggles in admin to hide element

Justoverclock

@askvortsov i think i'm coming to solution all alone, can u check if is correct?

extend.php:

(new Extend\Settings())->serializeToForum('hideHomeBox', 'justoverclock-guestengagement.hide.homebox', 'boolval', true),

in admin.js:

app.extensionData.for('justoverclock-guestengagement').registerSetting({
  setting: 'justoverclock-guestengagement.hide.homebox',
  label: app.translator.trans('justoverclock-guestengagement.admin.setvisible'),
  type: 'boolean',
});

on frontend i can use a condition:
if (app.forum.attribute('hideHomeBox') === true)

this works fine for me, is the logic correct? (i'm excited) 🙂

clarkwinkelmann

Justoverclock that seems correct, yes.
