I try to do the following in set_controls() of my custom class (that extends \Bricks\Element):
<?php
public function set_controls() {
//this is not working, cause $this->element['id'] is null at that point
$element_id = $this->element['id'];
$this->controls['tg_navInfo'] = [
'tab' => 'content',
'content' => 'My Id is: '.$element_id,
'type' => 'info',
];
}
?>
I cannot do that, because $this->element is null at that point.
I tried using a filter to change it later on, like this:
<?php
add_filter( 'bricks/element/settings', function( $settings, $element ) {
if ( $element->name === 'my_test_class' ) {
$element->controls['tg_navInfo']['content'] = 'Successfully edited by filter. Element id is '. $element['id'];
}
return $settings;
}, 10, 2 );
?>
But for it returns $settings and doesn’t apply the changes made to the element. So right now, I don’t know how to approach this in the best way. Can anybody help? Thank you!
Hey Daniele, thanks for your answer! I thought the same at first. But if I’m not wrong, $this->id and $this->element[‘id’] are not the same, at least at this point of execution.
In a specific example if I run it with $this->id I get #brxe-aktazd (respectively just aktazd, without prefix) as element id and 059ed1 as $this->id.
I feel lost with this. It seems like a pretty simple task and still I haven’t found a solution.
Maybe some context helps. My goal is the following: I create an Element ‘My_Element’ that CAN be connected to a Navigation-Element ‘My_Element_Nav’. To sync the Elements I need to enter ids from ‘My_Element’ in the Navigation-Element.
The ids will be constructed inside of ‘My_Element’ like:
$element_id + ‘button_prev’
$element_id + ‘button_next’
and so on …
In ‘My_Element’ I want to output that information , so that a user can just copy the identifier and paste it in the corresponding field of the Nav-Component. I haven’t event thought this could be a problem, but well here I am …
