How to Get Value of Custom Form field inside CustomField

Written by: abdul waheed

It is very simple trick, you don't have to use any factory class object(which is used to get posted field variables values). Just using $this object, all that custom field submitted attributes are ready to get values from. Here is code:

<?php
$this->value;
?>

You will use this code to put inside getinput() method and thus perform appropriate functionality on it. So for my case, I did a search using custom field, I want to keep save its state. So here is my code:

<?php
protected function getInput()
{
	$data = $this->getLayoutData();
// Here this value is set to be as selected after search is made
	$data['value'] = $this->value;
	$data['options'] = $this->getOptions();

	return $this->getRenderer($this->layout)->render($data);
}
?>

 Hope this helped.
