Use TreeMultiselectField in frontend form
15 July 2010 at 9:21am
Hey, I want to use a TreeMultiselectField like this
in the frontend.
But I want to set the selectable objects with a query, like $objects = DataObject::get('Group', ...);
There is no relation between the objects in the dropdown and the page.
How can I implement it?
Perhaps something like this?$dropdown = new TreeDropdownField(...);
$dropdown->setObjects($objects); -

You can only use TreeMultiSelectField with dataobjects that implement Hierarchy (eg SiteTree and Groups). You can't set object sets AFAIK but you can set a class name and the root node ID (level as to start at). Also some filter function which may provide something but I haven't used it myself.

thx for your reply!
ok in this case I want to display some group DataObjects (which -> depends on the current user), but does the page must have a relation like has_many?
The problem is, that another class have this relation, but the form should be displayed somewhere else.
I think it is easier to create a new "FlexTreeMultiselectField" by my own to handle that... -

OK here is a solution by using the TreeMultiselectField:
The easiest way is to check the ajax request, which gets a 404 error
I used this to to add a function to handle the request, its name is always the Form ID like "ContactForm" on the current page.
It needs a valid HTML with a <ul>, see below:function ContactForm() {
$objects = ... // Perhaps a db query
$HTMLStr = '<ul class="tree">';
foreach ($objects as $object) {
$HTMLStr .= '<li id="selector-ViewerGroups-'.$object->ID.'" class="Group closed"><a>'.$object->Title.'</a></li>';
}
$HTMLStr .= '</ul>';
echo $HTMLStr;
exit;
}
By default its styled by cms.
