Die etwas kompliziertere Methode ist mit '''<code>MultiSelectWizard::getFilteredByKey($strSerialized, $strKey, $arrAnotherKey)</code>'''. Der Anfang ist genau gleich: Man übergibt einen serialisierter Wert und Key. Dann kommt ein Array, mit dessen Hilfe man Return-Werte filtern kann.

This widget is meant to define one or more select input fields side by side and as many rows as you want.

Look

The widget looks exactly the same like the ModuleWizard of the Contao core. The problem with this wizard is that the sources (SELECT * FROM tl_module etc.) are all hardcoded and it's therefore useless for third party developers.

MultiSelectWizard

Usage

There are two different ways of using the widget. Either by providing the data directly using "columnsData" in the "eval" array or with a callback.

Providing columnsData

$GLOBALS['TL_DCA']['tl_table']['fields']['anything'] = array
(
	'label'          => &$GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['tl_table']['anything'],
	'exclude'	 => true,
	'inputType'	 => 'multiSelectWizard',
	'eval'		 => array
				   (
				   		'mandatory'=>true,
				   		'columnsData'=> array
						(
							'columns' => array
							(
								'key'	=> 'language',
								'label' => $GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['MSC']['mylanguagelabel'],
								'source' => $this->getLanguages(),
								'style' => 'width:200px'
							),
							array
							(
								'key'	=> 'secondcolumn',
								'label' => $GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['MSC']['secondcolumn'],
								'source' => array
								(
									'option1'	=> $GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['MSC']['option1'],
									'option2'	=> $GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['MSC']['option2'],
									'option3'	=> $GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['MSC']['option3']
								),
								'style' => 'width:100px'
							)
						)
					)
);

Providing data using the callback

$GLOBALS['TL_DCA']['tl_table']['fields']['anything'] = array
(
		'label'                 => &$GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['tl_table']['anything'],
		'exclude'		=> true,
		'inputType'		=> 'multiSelectWizard',
		'eval'			=> array('mandatory'=>true,'columnsCallback'=>array('Class', 'Method'))
 
);

Where obviously the return value of your method should be the same array as with the "columnsData" variant.

Helper methods

The extension also provides helper methods every developer can make use of.

getByKey

The easier method is using MultiSelectWizard::getByKey($strSerialized, $strKey). Just provide the serialized value from the database and the desired key of the column (in the example above e.g. "language") and you get an array of all values of this column.

$arrLanguages = MultiSelectWizard::getByKey($obj->myField, 'language');

getFilteredByKey

The rather more sophisticated method is MultiSelectWizard::getFilteredByKey($strSerialized, $strKey, $arrAnotherKey). The two first parameters are the same. You provide the serialized value and the key of the column you want the values of. Then there's a third parameter where you can filter your return values. Assuming you want to have all languages that use have the value "option2" in the column "secondcolumn" you can use this method as follows:

$arrLanguagesOption2 = MultiSelectWizard::getFilteredByKey($obj->myField, 'language', array('secondcolumn'=>'option2'));

You can use multiple filter conditions. Just extend the $arrAnotherkey accordingly.
