Creating ModuleFields
Creating fields using the ModuleFields class allows you to define a set of input fields that may be displayed in a variety of contextcontexts, without worrying about how those fields are contained. There are three aspects of creating a field, described below, that includinginclude: creating the field label, creating the field, and attaching the field to the label.

Complex Fields
Blesta supports ModuleFields up to two levels deep. This allows you to easily create a set of checkboxes or radio buttons associated with a single field.

Overriding Package/Service Fields
Generally it is a good idea to name your fields such that they work within the scope of your own module. For example, if your module requires a field named "term", naming it instead "my_module_term" will prevent conflicts with fields used by the system. However, in some cases you may want to allow your module to set a service field directly. One such example is the quantity field (qty). Here's how you can set a quantity field when creating a service.

public function getAdminAddFields($package, $vars=null) {
Loader::loadHelpers($this, array("Html"));
$fields = new ModuleFields();
// Create qty label
$qty = $fields->label("Quantity", "my_qty");
// Create qty field and attach to qty label
$qty->attach($fields->fieldText("qty", $this->Html->ifSet($vars->qty), array('id' => "my_qty")));
// Set the label as a field
$fields->setField($qty);
}
