# Tabbed Forms
|
|
|
|
SilverStripe's [api:FormScaffolder] can automatically generate [api:Form] instances for certain database models. In the
|
|
CMS and other scaffolded interfaces, it will output [api:TabSet] and [api:Tab] objects and use jQuery Tabs to split
|
|
parts of the data model.
|
|
|
|
<div class="notice" markdown="1">
|
|
All interfaces within the CMS such as [api:ModelAdmin] and [api:LeftAndMain] use tabbed interfaces by default.
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
When dealing with tabbed forms, modifying the fields in the form has a few differences. Each [api:Tab] will be given a
|
|
name, and normally they all exist under the `Root` [api:TabSet].
|
|
|
|
<div class="notice" markdown="1">
|
|
[api:TabSet] instances can contain child [api:Tab] and further [api:TabSet] instances, however the CMS UI will only
|
|
display up to two levels of tabs in the interface. If you want to group data further than that, try [api:ToggleField].
|
|
</div>

## Adding a field to a tab
|
|
|
|
:::php
|
|
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main', new TextField(..));
|
|
|
|
## Removing a field from a tab
|
|
|
|
:::php
|
|
$fields->removeFieldFromTab('Root.Main', 'Content');
|
|
|
|
## Creating a new tab
|
|
|
|
:::php
|
|
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.MyNewTab', new TextField(..));
|
|
|
|
## Moving a field between tabs
|
|
|
|
:::php
|
|
$content = $fields->dataFieldByName('Content');
|
|
|
|
$fields->removeFieldFromTab('Root.Main', 'Content');
|
|
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.MyContent', $content);
|
|
|
|
## Add multiple fields at once
|
|
|
|
:::php
|
|
$fields->addFieldsToTab('Root.Content', array(
|
|
TextField::create('Name'),
|
|
TextField::create('Email')
|
|
));
