Time Period

This widget renders a text field with a drop-down menu and is proposed to be used with time periods.

Options

Key	Value	Description
inputType	’timePeriod'
options	array	The options for select menu, typically time units like `['s', 'm', 'h']`
reference	array	The translation array (typically `&$GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['MSC']['timePeriod']`)
eval.disabled	bool (default false)	Disables the field
eval.maxlength	int	Maximum number of characters allowed in the current field.

Additionally, there are inherited global options like: label, default, exclude, search, sorting, filter, flag, sql.

Column Definition

Values are stored as a serialized array, so using blob is preferred.

Example

    'options' => [
        's', 'm', 'h'
    ],
    'reference' => &$GLOBALS['TL_LANG']['MSC']['timePeriod'],
    'sql' => [
        'type' => 'blob',
        'length' => MySQLPlatform::LENGTH_LIMIT_BLOB,
        'notnull' => false,
    ],
],
