Call Inputfield::renderReadyHook earlier so that hooks can set the collapsed state
Short description of the enhancement
I expected the collapsed state of an inputfield to be a part of the rendering of the inputfield, and so would be possible to set in a hook before Inputfield::renderReadyHook
.
But this hook is called after InputfieldWrapper has already determined if the field will be AJAX-loaded or not, so it's not possible to achieve an AJAX-loaded inputfield by setting the collapsed
property in a hook to Inputfield::renderReadyHook
.
See these lines before $inputfield->renderReady()
which in turn calls renderReadyHook()
.
If there are no unwanted side-effects, could $inputfield->renderReady()
please be called before the AJAX-loading of an inputfield is determined so there's an opportunity to set it in a hook?
I know that InputfieldWrapper::renderInputfield is hookable but a hook to that will be triggered a great many times throughout the admin whereas a hook to renderReadyHook can be for an individual inputfield type, so there's less overhead (I think).
