Formhybrid List

Contains a list and a reader module in a generic flavor. The modules can display and process all kinds of contao entities containing filtering, pagination, modal handling, ...

If additional functionality is needed, one simply has to inherit from ModuleList or ModuleReader.

-> Click here for a diagram visualizing the interaction between the modules formhybrid, formhybrid_list, frontendedit and submissions.

Technical instructions

Access to data in list item templates

Usually you'll want to override the formybrid_list_item_default.html5 template. Inside this template you have access to the fields of the linked entity using the following techniques:

  • $this->someField
  • $this->fields (formatted fields)
  • $this->raw (unformatted fields as stored in the database)

Example CSS for the masonry

.formhybrid-list {
    .items {
        .make-row();

        .item, .stamp-item {
            .make-xs-column(12);
            .make-sm-column(6);
            .make-md-column(4);
            .make-lg-column(4);
            margin-bottom: 40px;
        }
    }
}

Customize list filter processing behavior

Just create a submodule of ModuleList, add the following function and adjust it to your needs (same is possible for customizeDefaultFilters() which are the initial filters).

Hint: You can also return multiple values for one field as array.

protected function customizeFilters(&$strField, &$strColumn, &$varValue, &$blnSkipValue = false)
{
    $arrData = $this->objFilterForm->getDca();

    switch ($strField)
    {
        case 'startDate':
            $strColumn = 'startDate >= ?';
            $varValue = strtotime(str_replace('%', '', $varValue));
            break;
        case 'endDate':
            $strColumn = 'startDate <= ?';
            $varValue = strtotime(str_replace('%', '', $varValue));
            break;
        case 'city':
            $strColumn = 'city = ?';
            $varValue = $arrData['fields'][$strField]['options'][$varValue];
            break;
        case 'fsonly':
            if (\Input::get('fsonly') === '0')
            {
                $strColumn = 'pid != 1';
            }
            else if (\Input::get('fsonly') === '1')
            {
                $strColumn = 'pid = 1';
            }
            break;
    }
}
