Array of form fields

Question

I am trying to load a array of form fields as below.

grade.xml

<field  name="gralev_code[]" 
  type="text" 
  class="width20"
  label="JSCH_GRALEV_CODE"
/>

default.php

$this->form->getInput('gralev_code[]')
$this->form->getInput('gralev_code[]')
$this->form->getInput('gralev_code[]')

The above shows 3 text fields in the form however the values are not received in the model.

Not sure whether this is achievable or not?

I manged to get a solution as below.

<field  name="gralev_code][]" 
  type="text" 
  class="width20"
  label="JSCH_GRALEV_CODE"
/>

in model.php

$formdata = $this->_jinput->get('jform', '', 'array');
$vals = $formdata['gralev_code'];

On higher Joomla versions from 3.4 use the below

gralev_code][

On Joomla 3.4.5 you have to write name="gralev_code][" .

@Laoneo I have tried this, but it doesn't save the plugin's params.

You can use wrapper, unfortunately you can't fill non unique array keys. Then catch data by "fields" name ...->input->get('jform')

$jform['keyname']['a1']

<fields name="keyname"> 
    <field  name="gralev_code[a1]" 
        type="text" 
        label="JSCH_GRALEV_CODE"/>
 <fields>

Please do your best to use proper English (you instead of u), format your inline code expressions by wrapping in backticks, and try to keep code indentation to a minimum for less horizontal scrolling. When you produce excellent posts, then no one needs to touch your work to bring up the quality of the delivery.
