Using static_info_tables for country selection¶
Basics¶
- Install Extension static_info_tables
- Install Extension static_info_tables(_de)(_fr)(_pl) etc… for localized countrynames
- Import Records of the extensions via Extension Manager (see manual of static_info_tables)
- Clear Cache
- Copy all Partials from femanager to a fileadmin folder
- Set the new Partial Path via Constants: plugin.tx_femanager.view.partialRootPath = fileadmin/femanager/Partials/
- Open Partial Fields/Country.html and activate static_info_tables (see notes in HTML-File)
Details for Partial Country.html¶
The idea is very simple. You can change the “options Attribute” of the form.select ViewHelper:
<femanager:form.select
id="femanager_field_country"
property="country"
options="{femanager:Form.GetCountriesFromStaticInfoTables()}"
defaultOption="{f:translate(key:'pleaseChoose')}"
class="input-block-level"
additionalAttributes="{femanager:Validation.FormValidationData(settings:'{settings}',fieldName:'country')}" />
The GetCountriesFromStaticInfoTables-ViewHelper
Possible options for this ViewHelper are:
Name | Description | Default Value | Example Value |
---|---|---|---|
key | Define the Record Column of static_countries table which should be used for storing to fe_users country Note: Please use lowerCamelCase Writing for Fieldnames |
isoCodeA3 | isoCodeA2 |
value | Define the Record Column of static_countries table which should be visible in selection in femanager Note: Please use lowerCamelCase Writing for Fieldnames |
officialNameLocal | shortNameFr |
sortbyField | Define the Record Column of static_countries which should be used for a sorting Note: Please use lowerCamelCase Writing for Fieldnames |
isoCodeA3 | shortNameDe |
sorting | Could be ‘asc’ or ‘desc’ for Ascending or Descending Sorting | asc | desc |
Some Examples are:
{femanager:Form.GetCountriesFromStaticInfoTables(key:'isoCodeA2',value:'shortNameDe')}
{femanager:Form.GetCountriesFromStaticInfoTables(key:'isoCodeA2',value:'shortNameFr',sortbyField:'shortNameFr')}
{femanager:Form.GetCountriesFromStaticInfoTables(key:'isoCodeA3',value:'isoCodeA3',sortbyField:'isoCodeA3',sorting:'asc')}
