Create a Custom Backend Adapter

To create a custom backend adapter, you need to follow two steps:

  1. Create a new PHP class for your custom backend adapter;
  2. Add the adapter class to the mapping.

Create the PHP Class​

You must define getAdapterValues function that return the adapter's value while extending \Pimcore\Bundle\BackendPowerToolsBundle\Adapter\AlternativeElementTree\AbstractObjectAdapter:

<?php 

namespace App\Adapter\AlternativeElementTree; 

class CustomAdapter extends \Pimcore\Bundle\BackendPowerToolsBundle\Adapter\AlternativeElementTree\AbstractObjectAdapter
{
    // start implementing 
    public function getAdapterValues(): ?string
    {
        ...
    }
}

Add the Adapter Type to the Mapping​

The last step is to add the adapter type to the mapping. This can be done in the config.yaml of your bundle.

pimcore_backend_power_tools:
  pimcore_alternative_object_trees:
    adapters:
      input: #= the datatype of the corresponding class field
        frontend: SimpleValueAdapter
        backend: App\Adapter\AlternativeElementTree\CustomAdapter
