How to create admin form?

printec

This question is based on http://forum.epesibim.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=3337

You mentioned variables:
Variable::set('xero_key', ...);
Variable::get('xero_key');

I presume these values are persistent and global across sessions?

Also how do I add an admin form? I've got as far as adding this to the common file...

class Custom_XeroConnectCommon extends Base_AdminModuleCommon {

	public static function admin_caption() {

		return array('label'=>__('Xero Connect'), 'section'=>__('Server Configuration'));

	}

}

.. but this does not seem to do anything.

Also if I wish to add some text boxes to the form (non file upload fields) then am I after the QuickForm or Utils/FileUpload or a combination of both ?

Now create admin function that will handle display like body. In main file - not common

class Custom_XeroConnect extends Module {

public function admin() {

...

}

}

Use separate forms for file upload, separate form for other stuff. In your case 3 forms I guess - one for each key file (FileUpload), separate for the auth codes(QuickForm).

How do I set the label on the admin button and select which section it should appear under (eg. "server configuration" or "data")?

Instead of direct answer, please check out modules/Utils/RecordBrowser/RecordBrowserCommon_0.php for admin_caption

I made a change to XeroConnectCommon_0.php

<?php

defined("_VALID_ACCESS") || die('Direct access forbidden');

class Custom_XeroConnectCommon extends ModuleCommon {

    public static function admin_caption() {

        return array('label'=>__('Xero Connect'), 'section'=>__('Data'));

    }

    public static function menu() {

        return array(__('Module') => array('__submenu__' => 1, __('Xero Connect') => array())); // - this will output as Module->XeroConnect in the main menu

    }

}

?>

But no change to the admin menu. Do I need to do something else as well?

Yes. Common methods existence is cached, to know exactly which files to load.
You have to remove file data/cache/common_cache.php
