adminmagento2widget

How to add this to my custom widget at backend?

Best Answer

You need to create a category chooser for the Magento Admin Panel:

Backend configurations:

<field id="multi_category_chooser" translate="label" sortOrder="20" showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="1">
<label>Categories</label>
<frontend_model>[Vendor]\[Modul]\Block\Adminhtml\Category\Widget\[Chooser]</frontend_model>

$fieldset->addField(
'multi_category_chooser',
'[Vendor]\[Modul]\Block\Adminhtml\Category\Widget\[Chooser]',
[
    'name' => 'multi_category_chooser',
    'label' => __('Categories'),
    'title' => __('Categories'),
    'required' => true
]

);

Magento – Add a class to custom Widget input field

I scoured through Magento source, and I did not find where an additional value would be set in widget.xml. While it's a bit annoying, I resorted to using my own <type>.

My widget.xml contains:

<my_param translate="label">
    <required>1</required>
    <visible>1</visible>
    <label>My Label</label>
    <type>module/my_custom_block</type>
</my_param>

The annoying part is that my block class only contains:

class Module_Name_Block_My_Custom_Block extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Form_Renderer_Fieldset_Element
{
    public function render(Varien_Data_Form_Element_Abstract $element)
    {
        $element->addClass('my-class');
        $this->_element = $element;
        return $this->toHtml();
    }
}

Default Values of Multiselect Input in Widget Options Using widget.xml

If I remember correctly multiselect values are stored comma separated. Have you tried <value>opt1,opt2</value> ?
