custom joomla form FIELDS

Hi Søren,

Yes - this may be a slightly safer option

Although it would maybe be more flexible to make mandatory Fixed key pair fields for the generic essential values (name, type etc) and then some optional 'repeatable' parameters (where you can keep "add" ing them - like the SELECT LIST option values..

However, this system will not allow us to force in things like "repeat fields", but having said that, repeat fields are unique, and should be fairly simple to add? Its basically just a field 'group' placeholder..

Which adds the following to the top of the group:

<field name="list_templates"
type="Repeatable"
icon="list"
description="PLG_TINY_FIELD_TEMPLATE_FIELD_ELEMENTS_DESC"
label="PLG_TINY_FIELD_TEMPLATE_FIELD_ELEMENTS_LABEL"
default="{'template':,'location':,'description':}">
<fields name="params">
<fieldset hidden="true" name="list_templates_modal" repeat="true">

*Your normal generated fields (including custom ones) here*

And then

</fieldset>
</fields>
</field>

To close of the repeat bit

If you add both Custom AND repeatable then I think you have all my requirements covered - I do need both for my current project but custom is more important at this point !!

Thanks for the responding so enthusiastically.. and let me know if any of this is unclear - I have been staying up too late recently watching too much Breaking Bad to communicate well at the moment lol !

Cheers,

Hi Folks, any news as to whether this *may* be implemented in the near future ? If not I am going to have to try the XML override plugin system, which is a little less simple

Thank,

Well - that was 6 months ago! I am voting for this in the Poll. It takes component creator to a much more serious level.
