I have created a custom block "blockpre" in totara which will show the results of assignments.In edit_form.php of my block blockpre i added some extra elements in mform for my block.
in edit_form.php i have created a class "block_blockpre_edit_form" which extends "block_edit_form" (standard class). I have added standard elements in mform and also 1 extra element.
The problem is that i'm unable to access the value of standard as well as extra element added. i have tried using $mform->get_data on view page of my block but its not working on any of the block pages.
Is there some standard way to access the value of mform element ?
edit_form.php
<?php
class block_blockpre_edit_form extends block_edit_form {
protected function specific_definition($mform) {
// Section header title according to language file.
$mform->addElement('header', 'configheader', get_string('blocksettings', 'block'));
// A sample string variable with a default value.
$mform->addElement('text', 'config_text', get_string('blockstring', 'block_blockpre'));
$mform->setDefault('config_text', 'default value');
$mform->setType('config_text', PARAM_MULTILANG);
$mform->addElement('header', 'configheader', get_string('blocksettings1', 'block_blockpre'));
global $CFG, $OUTPUT,$DB,$USER;
$courseid = $_REQUEST['id'];
$sel="select id,name from {assign} where course=".$courseid;
$sel1= $DB->get_records_sql($sel);
foreach($sel1 as $s)
{mform element
$dis=$s->id;
$namem=$dis;
$mform->addElement('advcheckbox','assignid',$s->name,null, array('name' => $namem),$namem); //extra element
}
}
}
?>
Thanks for help in advance.
