Custom fields

[Peter Szalatnay]

Hi,

I'm trying to find documentation on how to create a custom field. There is the new plugin folder for fields. But how do I link one to one of my custom component fields.

let say I have I quiz component with a JFormFieldModal_Quiz field to add quizzes to articles. I want to make this available to com_fields.

Do i create a plugin called modal_quiz and it automagically finds my fields as I cannot find the linking in the original plugins.

Cheers

Peter

Yes you need to make a new custom field plugin. An example of a simple gallery plugin can be found here https://github.com/Digital-Peak/DPFields/tree/master/plg_fields_dpfgallery.

Awesome, thanks for the help pointing me in the right direction. Can we put that example on the Joomla documentation page?

Cheers

Peter,

All the Joomla docs are just Wiki pages that you can (and should) update yourself. That's the best way for them to get better.

You do have to have an account on the docs site, but that's pretty quick to set-up using the on-site sign-up system.

Another quick question. Is there a reason why custom fields is not rendered in user profiles view?



It is easy to create a override tmpl in my template and use the jcfields array. But it would be nice if it was rendering directly in the profile view.

They should, if not then it looks like a bug.

Posted it as a bug on github.

I'm reading through this doc https://joomla.digital-peak.com/images/blog/JDD16%20Custom%20fields%20in%20Joomla%20for%20developers.pdf and trying to figure out what the layouts/field/prepare is for and when is it processed?



I did a quick search through the code for any references to field prepare and could not find anything.

Cheers

You just hit an obsolete file, this needs to be removed as it is obsolete, se my pr here https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/16099.

All the logic which prepares the value of a field is now in their own plugins for example this one here https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/plugins/fields/calendar/tmpl/calendar.php

Easy, was just in the doc so tried to figure out if it was used or not.
