Inputfield::getConfigAllowContext() method

Return a list of config property names allowed for fieldgroup/template context

These should be the names of Inputfields returned by Inputfield::getConfigInputfields() or Inputfield::getConfigArray() that are allowed in fieldgroup/template context.

The config property names specified here are allowed to be configured within the context of a given Fieldgroup, enabling the user to configure them independently per template in the admin.

This is the equivalent to the [Fieldtype::getConfigAllowContext()](/api/ref/fieldtype/get-config-allow-conFieldtype::getConfigAllowContext()/) method, but for the "Input" tab rather than the "Details" tab.

Usage

$array = $inputfield->getConfigAllowContext(Field $field);

Arguments

NameType(s)Description
fieldField

Return value

array

of Inputfield names


Hooking Inputfield::getConfigAllowContext(…)

You can add your own hook events that are executed either before or after the Inputfield::getConfigAllowContext(…) method is executed. Examples of both are included below. A good place for hook code such as this is in your /site/ready.php file.

Hooking before

The 'before' hooks are called immediately before each Inputfield::getConfigAllowContext(…) method call is executed. This type of hook is especially useful for modifying arguments before they are sent to the method.

$this->addHookBefore('Inputfield::getConfigAllowContext', function(HookEvent $event) {
  // Get the object the event occurred on, if needed
  $Inputfield = $event->object;

  // Get values of arguments sent to hook (and optionally modify them)
  $field = $event->arguments(0);

  /* Your code here, perhaps modifying arguments */

  // Populate back arguments (if you have modified them)
  $event->arguments(0, $field);
});

Hooking after

The 'after' hooks are called immediately after each Inputfield::getConfigAllowContext(…) method call is executed. This type of hook is especially useful for modifying the value that was returned by the method call.

$this->addHookAfter('Inputfield::getConfigAllowContext', function(HookEvent $event) {
  // Get the object the event occurred on, if needed
  $Inputfield = $event->object;

  // An 'after' hook can retrieve and/or modify the return value
  $return = $event->return;

  // Get values of arguments sent to hook (if needed)
  $field = $event->arguments(0);

  /* Your code here, perhaps modifying the return value */

  // Populate back return value, if you have modified it
  $event->return = $return;
});
