I need to create a moodle module offering 20 different moodle forms of 10/12 fields each one.
The first 5 fields are always the same for each form.
Can I find a smart way to build all my forms using formslib and without duplicating the first set of five fields each time?
Thank you in advance.
Hi Daniele,
AFAIK... it's possible to extend formslib, creating new forms by extending the MoodleQuickForm_group class.
So you could create one DanieleQuickForm_common class with all your common fields and methods.
And then, I guess you can create your 20 different forms by extending the DanieleQuickForm_common, handling in each one exclusively the particular fields.
Note I'm talking in theory, hehe... never have done that, really.
I guess you have to be careful about "child" forms calling "parent" methods and so on but should work.
You can find some examples of that sort of extension and inheritance at: lib/form.
Hope this helps... ciao

Tomorrow morning during the creation of a document I promised to a Moodle friend, I'll try.
Thank you.
Thank you.
