Statamic Suggest Hack

This is a hack on Statamic's Suggest fieldtype to allow options to be passed in via a separate file. This way global variables can populate the options.

Usage

Paste the code from ft.suggest.hack.php into cp/fieldtypes/suggest/ft.suggest.php after the "Hardcoded list of options" section.

In your fieldset, do something like this:

brand:
  display: Brand
  type: suggest
  file:
    path: _config/global_variables.yaml
    variable: brands

ft.suggest.hack.php

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Hardcoded list of options by file
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This works just like options, but reads them from a YAML file.
|
*/

if (isset($this->field_config['file'])) {

    $config = $this->field_config['file'];

    $path     = Spyc::YAMLLoad(array_get($config, 'path', '_config/settings.yaml'));
    $variable = array_get($config, 'variable');


    $options     = array_get($path, $variable);
    $suggestions = array_merge($suggestions, $options);
}
