contao-textwizard

Contao backend widget for text list input

contao-textwizard is a backend widget that can be used to add or edit a variable list of text input fields unlike the Contao listWizard widget. Additionally to the listWizard functionality contao-textwizard selects the content of a newly created or duplicated text field and it adds a button to create an empty new text field.

Requirements

• PHP 8.3 or later
• Contao 5.7 LTS (^5.7)

Use in the data container array (DCA)

'matrixrows' => array
(
  'label'                   => &$GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['tl_survey_question']['matrixrows'],
  'exclude'                 => true,
  'inputType'               => 'textwizard',
  'eval'                    => array(
    'allowHtml'             => true,
    'decodeEntities'        => true,
    'buttonTitles'          => array(
      'new'                 => $GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['tl_survey_question']['buttontitle_matrixrow_new'],
      'copy'                => $GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['tl_survey_question']['buttontitle_matrixrow_copy'],
      'delete'              => $GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['tl_survey_question']['buttontitle_matrixrow_delete']
    )
