How can I use connected fields?

You mean to just add a repeated in the Link option when it is selected?

If I use @formField('repeater', ['type' => 'video']) how can I inject another Link option inside this repeater? I tried searching types of repeater and could not find them in the documentation.

If you are still using this

link

partial : https://github.com/sauron/twill-form-partials/blob/main/partials/link_field.blade.php there's an example of

_connected_fields

inside of it. It's also in the Form Fields documentation. But basically yes, you can add a repeater field when this new

Submenu

choice is selected.

What I did was to add this code

@component('twill::partials.form.utils._connected_fields', [
            'fieldName' => $linkOptionName,
            'fieldValues' => 'internal',
            'keepAlive' => false,
            'renderForBlocks' => $renderForBlocks
        ])
            @formField('repeater', ['type' => 'video'])
        @endcomponent

Inside two other connected fields components. Still nothing shows up. Not sure if it is the right way of using this.

Did you create

resources/views/admin/repeaters/video.blade.php

? The repeater field won't show if the template is not found.

The

link

field is already a bit complex... If you have the time, I think it could be helpful to setup a test in a fresh module. Just to make sure that you can go step by step.

Ok, did it to this point.

Looks good

(I guess we're missing a translation for

Add item

in Italian?)

Yes, but also not sure how it adds the new sublinks on the database.

And also adds infinite sub links. If you add a sublink, it adds a new button to add another sublink and so on.

It will be added in the block's content (you can inspect the

blocks

table in your DB)

Yes, makes sense. To prevent this I guess a simple solution would be to extract a

sublink

partial that doesn't have the repeater.

Oh ok now it makes sense because it shows the parent_id!

So all are linked together.

Also one last thing. When I add a page, I want the custom label to automatically be named by the selected link in the Linked Page. How can I do that?

this

Login Route

Hello again, When the user selected a specific page when trying an internal link inside the Linked Page, it always returns the ID of that page, where value="1" is shown in the picture. Can it be done so that it returns the slug of that page?

@aleksdish the backend needs the id to save that relationship correctly. From the frontend you can of course access the slug of the attached item after retrieving it, but it sounds like you are trying to do something in the CMS itself? You might need a custom BrowserField vue component for this.

I want to save the slug to the database. If I can save both id and slug even better.

why would you need to save the slug of a record that is identified by an id?

what happens if the slug of that record changes?

In my case, if I save the id and have to find all the models of all the pages which slows down the menu of the website.

If the slug changes, then it again saves the page to the database from the links by the admin.

But I understand your point.

you're trying to optimize with the wrong perspective. you can probably build a more efficient query in the frontend, and/or cache its result and invalidate that cache on changes. That would be much better than denormalizing your schema, I personally feel. Don't get me wrong there are cases where duplicating data makes sense, i'm not sure that's one.

Ok, but can it be done on the front end if I want to save the slug or anything else from Twill?

Or you mean with javascript.
