Hi
I know there is documentation and a previous thread on this which I believe I have followed but I still can't figure it what the issue is from those sources. The code I have is this:
// Drop-down lists for page linking.
$pagetitles = $this->_customdata['pagetitles'];
$sequence = $this->_customdata['sequence'];
// setSelect needs an associative array of items?
$titles = [];
foreach($pagetitles as $p) {
$titles[$p] = $p;
}
$setprevelement = $mform->addElement('select', 'prevpageid', get_string('prev', 'mod_simplelesson'), $titles);
$setnextelement = $mform->addElement('select', 'nextpageid', get_string('next', 'mod_simplelesson'), $titles);// Attempt to set the page titles drop-down to reflect current structure.
// Find the current title and the next and previous in the array.
$setprev = $pagetitles[$sequence - 1]; // If 0 will be string 'none'.
$setnext = ($sequence < count($pagetitles)) ? $pagetitles[$sequence + 1] : get_string('none', 'mod_simplelesson');
$setprevelement->setSelected($setprev);
$setnextelement->setSelected($setnext);
$mform->setType('nextpageid', PARAM_TEXT);
$mform->setType('prevpageid', PARAM_TEXT);
Another question might be, should we continue with Moodleforms or simply use Bootstrap forms and/or the new Component Library as available for Moodle 4 if re-factoring code? In the above case I could probably use a class to prepare the data for a Mustache template using html to set the selected/default item (eg https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/forms/).
Thoughts welcome.
