Hallo!

At the moment I'm developing a plugin. For this I wanted to use a config field of the type "hidden". It is defined like that:

Code: Select all

case 'lastUpdate':
                $propbag->add('type',        'hidden');
                $propbag->add('default',     '0');
                break;

Within the plugin configuration form it is (hidden) available, but with no default value. So the value is always empty.

Can anyone tell me, why this doesn't work like I want it to work?

Regards,
Pascal

Hi!

"0" translates as "empty" and thus is always empty. You should adjust your PHP code to accept an empty values as "0" as well.

OK, thanks a lot. After changing my PHP code, it works as it should.

You must use $propbad->add('value') there. Since a hidden input cannot be changed, "default" makes no sense there.

Code: Select all

            case 'timestamp':
                $propbag->add('type', 'hidden');
                $propbag->add('value', time());
                break;

results in

Code: Select all

<input name="serendipity[plugin][timestamp]" type="hidden" value="1417098708">
