Help with helper class (PS 1.6.1.4)

[TheGGTheory]

So i need to make a configuration page for my own module, and i've some trouble using the helper class. So the default behaviour is 

'input' => array(
    array(
        'type' => 'text',
        'label' => $this->l('Configuration value'),
        'name' => 'MYMODULE_NAME',
        'size' => 20,
        'required' => true
    ))


...generates the following HTML tags:


<label>Configuration value </label>
<div class="margin-form">
  <input id="MYMODULE_NAME" class="" type="text" size="20" value="my friend" name="MYMODULE_NAME">
  <sup>*</sup>
<div class="clear"></div>

it set id and name as the string in 'name' => 'MYMODULE_NAME' and sets the value with the value of MYMODULE_NAME saved in the ps_configuration table... Is this behaviour overridable?
The thing i need is something like
 

$value = 'someString';

'input' => array(
    array(
        'type' => 'text',
        'label' => $this->l('Configuration value'),
        'name' => 'myCustomName',
        'id' => 'myCustomID'
        'value' => $myValue
        'size' => 20,
        'required' => true
    ))
...generates the following HTML tags:
<label>Configuration value </label>
<div class="margin-form">
  <input type="text" id="myCustomID" name="myCustomName" size="20" value='someString'>
  <sup>*</sup>
<div class="clear"></div>

PS: $value is stored in a different table from ps_configuration.
Thanks!

Hi...

yes it overrideble like as

if (((bool)Tools::isSubmit('submitYourModule')) == true) {

 

     // you insert update code here

}

thanks

Second example input would work except for setting the value, you can pass different values for ID and NAME, the 'value' is taken from the fields_value array you need to pass, and will use the value for 'name' to find it in the array, there is nothing to stop you assigning your $value to a field called 'myCustomName' inside that array though so the helper can find it though.

 

Or, yes, it is possible to override the templates, not documented very well, but there are examples in this forum, I would say it's overkill for this task.

 

Or, you can create your own configuration template, and display that:

$tpl = $this->context->smarty->createTemplate($this->getTemplatePath('YOUR_TEMPLATE.tpl'));
$tpl->assign(
    array(
        'languages' => $this->context->controller->getLanguages(),
        'link' => $this->context->link,
        'defaultFormLanguage' => (int)Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT'),
        'admin_link' => $this->context->link->getAdminLink('YOUR_CONTROLLER'),
        'fields_value' => $this->getModuleConfigFieldsValues(),
    )
);
$html = $tpl->fetch();
