How to include the softark\duallistbox\DualListbox widget in formwizard Step

[vitalypark0555]

Hello, I really liked your wrapper of smart wizard, however, I can't put object variables into 'options' when I use another widget inside of your one. I think it's important, cuz many other widgets require setting object variables into options array. Thanks beforehand.

[
    'model' => $hiringTeam,
    'title' => 'HIRING TEAM',
    'description' => 'Choose members of the selection committee',
    'formInfoText' => '',
    'fieldConfig' => [
        'only' => ['employee_ids'],
        'employee_ids' => [
            'widget' => \softark\duallistbox\DualListbox::className(),
            'options' => [
                'model' => $hiringTeam,
                'attribute' => $hiringTeam->employee_ids,
                'items' => $employees,
                'clientOptions' => [
                    'moveOnSelect' => true,
                    'selectedListLabel' => 'General Hiring Team',
                    'nonSelectedListLabel' => 'Hiring Team for this job',
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ],
],

Hello @vitalypark0555 , are you talking about passing the $model to the widget you are using? if that is so you dont need to pass it as the formwizard uses ActiveForm and the model passed for the step will be used for the widget as in the example for using the DualListbox here with the ActiveForm is like below

echo $form->field($model, $attribute)->widget(DualListbox::className(),[
        'items' => $items,
        'options' => $options,
        'clientOptions' => [
            'moveOnSelect' => false,
            'selectedListLabel' => 'Selected Items',
            'nonSelectedListLabel' => 'Available Items',
        ],
    ]);

and the FormWizard Plugin does the starting part itself which is

echo $form->field($model, $attribute)

and the wiget and the options that you pass are then linked with the field using

->widget($widget,$options)

so you should pass them like

[
    'model' => $hiringTeam,
    'title' => 'HIRING TEAM',
    'description' => 'Choose members of the selection committee',
    'formInfoText' => '',
    'fieldConfig' => [
        'only' => ['employee_ids'],
        'employee_ids' => [
            'widget' => \softark\duallistbox\DualListbox::className(),
            'options' => [
                'items' => $employees,
                'clientOptions' => [
                    'moveOnSelect' => true,
                    'selectedListLabel' => 'General Hiring Team',
                    'nonSelectedListLabel' => 'Hiring Team for this job',
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ],
],

Hi buttflattery. Thanks for your response. I have tried different options, but nothing works.
I get error "htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given".

[buttflattery]

okay let me verify it i will reply soon i didnt tested the last code i sent, it would probably be some wrong configurations, the extension supports using any other widget within the steps, i will post back soon.

@vitalypark0555 it does work correctly without any problem see the image i get the following

when i use this config

'fieldConfig' => [
    'only' => ['tag_id'],
    'tag_id' => [
        'widget' => \softark\duallistbox\DualListbox::class,
        'options' => [
            'items' => ArrayHelper::map(Tags::find()->all(), 'id', 'name'),
            'clientOptions' => [
                'moveOnSelect' => true,
                'selectedListLabel' => 'General Hiring Team',
                'nonSelectedListLabel' => 'Hiring Team for this job'
            ]
        ]
    ]
]

You need to look into your items option for the DualListbox that you are passing you should pass them in key=>value pair. The array keys are option values, and the array values are the corresponding option labels.
