Dynamic widget fields
- version: 1.0.0
- extension on GitHub
- direct download link
This is not a widget itself, but a useful addition to the Magento widget ecosystem. By installing this extension you can use dynamic fields within your own widgets.
In your widget.xml you can use this extension as a helper block:
<!-- Widget XML defintion -->
<items>
<visible>1</visible>
<label>Items</label>
<type>array</type> <!-- Use "array" type -->
<helper_block>
<type>mp_widgetarray/adminhtml_widget_array</type>
<data>
<columns>
<text translate="label">
<label>Text</label>
</text>
<col2 translate="label">
<label>Col 2</label>
</col2>
</columns>
</data>
</helper_block>
</items>
<!-- Widget XML defintion -->The values are stored as a base64 AND json_encoded string, so in your widget block class you need to use base64_decode and json_decode.
<?php
class Namespace_Module_Block_Widget_YourWidget
extends Mage_Core_Block_Template
implements Mage_Widget_Block_Interface
{
/**
* Get items
*
* @return array
*/
public function getItems()
{
$b64 = $this->getData('items');
$json = base64_decode($b64);
return json_decode($json, true);
}The result will look similar to this, depending on the columns you've configured in your widget.xml:
- Magento >= 1.9 (untested, but should work in 1.7 as well)
