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

In der Erweiterung wurden auch Helper-Methoden eingebaut, die man verwenden kann.

getByKey

Die einfachere Methode ist mittels MultiSelectWizard::getByKey($strSerialized, $strKey). Einfach den serialisierten Wert aus der Datenbank plus den gewünschten Key mitgeben (im obigen Beispiel z.B. "language") und man bekommt ein aggregiertes Array mit allen Werten von dieser Spalte.

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

getFilteredByKey

Die etwas kompliziertere Methode ist mit MultiSelectWizard::getFilteredByKey($strSerialized, $strKey, $arrAnotherKey). Der Anfang ist genau gleich: Man übergibt einen serialisierter Wert und Key. Dann kommt ein Array, mit dessen Hilfe man Return-Werte filtern kann. Wenn man also alle Sprachen möchte, die in der "secondcolumn" den Wert "option2" haben, nutzt man die Methode wie folgt:

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

Selbstverständlich kann man auch mehrere Filterangaben mitgeben. Einfach immer im Stil von "column_key" => "source_value".
