Im useing joomla 2.5, and I want to create a custom form field type that stored in the same module.
In the XML:
<fieldset name="basic" addfieldpath="/modules/mod_royalslider/fields"></fields>
<fieldset name="basic">
<field name="title" type="City" label="anythging" description="" />
</fieldset>
</fields>
In the file /modules/mod_royalslider/fields/city.php
<?php
// Check to ensure this file is included in Joomla!
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
jimport('joomla.form.formfield');
class JFormFieldCity extends JFormField {
protected $type = 'City';
// getLabel() left out
public function getInput() {
return '<select id="'.$this->id.'" name="'.$this->name.'">'.
'<option value="1" >New York</option>'.
'<option value="2" >Chicago</option>'.
'<option value="3" >San Francisco</option>'.
'</select>';
}
}
for now it show me error, when ever i remove
<fieldset name="basic" addfieldpath="/modules/mod_royalslider/fields"></fields>
the error gone and the field disply as a text field.
You forgot to specify models in the addfieldpath
<fields name="params">
<fieldset name="basic" addfieldpath="/modules/mod_royalslider/models/fields">
<field name="title" type="City" label="anythging" description="" />
</fieldset>
</fields>
Just put the fields folder inside the models folder and put the path like above.
