How can I render a value from a select field inside <?= ?>?

The CMS Questions

I want to add a value from my option field as a class to an element.
Normally I do it like this:

<div class="block <?php if($block->textAlign() == "center"): ?>ta-center<?php endif ?> <?php if($block->textAlign() == "right"): ?>ta-right<?php endif ?>">

But now I am using a plugin which uses a kind of short version of php and I don’t know how I can insert the value now.
I want to add the value as a class to the following element inside the foreach loop:

<?php foreach ($form->fields() as $field) : ?>

<?php $ltag = $isFieldGroup ? 'fieldset' : 'div' ?>

<<?= $ltag ?> class="block block-field-<?= $field->type(true) ?>" data-id="<?= $field->slug() ?>">

<?php endforeach ?>

I tried many things and searched a lot on php websites but couldn’t make it work.

It has to look roughly like this:

<<?= $ltag ?> class="block <?= $field->textAlign() ?> block-field-<?= $field->type(true) ?>" data-id="<?= $field->slug() ?>">

Blueprint:

  textAlign:
    label: Text align
    type: select
    options:
      center: center
      right: right

Thank you in advance for any help!

It would be helpful to know which plugin you are using, I would assume you have to use something like $field->value(), but the context how this field code relates to the block is not clear.

Thank you @texnixe,

I tried both

<?= $field->textAlign()->value() ?>

and

<?= $field->value() ?>

but unfortunately does not insert any text, but also throws no error.

I am using a plugin for a form block: Form Block | Kirby CMS

This is the whole form.php which renders every field inside a form block:

<?php $form = $block; ?>
<?php if ($form->showForm()) : ?>

	<form method="post" id="<?= $form->id() ?>" action="<?= $page->url() . "#" . $form->id() ?>" novalidate>

		<div class="form-block max-width">

			<?php foreach ($form->fields() as $field) : ?>

				<?php $isFieldGroup = ($field->type() === 'formfields/radio' || $field->type() === 'formfields/checkbox') ?>
				<?php $gtag = $isFieldGroup ? 'legend' : 'label' ?>
				<?php $ltag = $isFieldGroup ? 'fieldset' : 'div' ?>
				

				<<?= $ltag ?> class="form-block-field <?= MY CLASS SHOULD BE INSERTED HERE ?> form-block-field-<?= $field->type(true) ?>" data-id="<?= $field->slug() ?>">
					<<?= $gtag ?> for="<?= $field->slug() ?>">

						<span class="form-block-field-label-text"><p><?= $field->label() ?></p></span>
						<span class="form-block-field-label-required" aria-hidden="true"><p><?= $field->required('asterisk') ?></p></span>

					</<?= $gtag ?>>

					<?php if (!$field->isValid()) : ?>
						<span id="<?= $field->id() ?>-error-message" class="form-block-message form-block-field-invalid"><p><?= $field->errorMessage() ?></p></span>
					<?php endif ?>

					<?= $field->toHtml() ?>

				</<?= $ltag ?>>
			<?php endforeach ?>

			<div class="form-block-field form-block-field-hpot">
				<label for="<?= $form->honeypotId() ?>" aria-hidden="true"> <?= ucfirst($form->honeypotId()) ?></label>
				<input type="search" id="<?= $form->honeypotId() ?>" name="<?= $form->honeypotId() ?>" value="" autocomplete="off" tabindex="1000" required />
			</div>

			<?php if (!$form->isValid()) : ?>
				<div class="form-block-message form-block-invalid column">
					<p>	
					<?= $form->errorMessage() ?>
					</p>
				</div>
			<?php endif ?>

			<div class="form-block-button form-block-submit column">
				<input type="submit" name="<?= $form->id() ?>" value="<?= $form->message('send_button') ?>">
			</div>
		</div>
	</form>
<?php endif ?>

<?php if ($form->isFatal()) : ?>
	<div class="form-block-message form-block-fatal column">
		<p>
			<?= $form->errorMessage() ?>
		</p>
	</div>
<?php endif ?>

<?php if ($form->isSuccess()) : ?>
	<div class="form-block-message form-block-success column">
		<p>
			<?= $form->successMessage() ?>
		</p>
	</div>
<?php endif ?>

<style>
	.form-block-field-hpot {
		opacity: 0.001;
		position: absolute;
		z-index: -1;
	}
</style>

Please let me know what else you would need. :slight_smile:

Just solved it, I don’t know why it’s suddenly working but it’s just

<?= $field->textAlign() ?>
