Gateway Field Types

[Louisvdw]

Where can I find which field types are supported when defining a module?

 

From the Template I can see there are text & yesno types.

 

From the wiki I can see that these fields are supported most likely:

* Text Box - text in the template

* Tick Box - yesno in the template

* Dropdown Menu - ???

* Textarea - ???

* ???

 

Can someone fill in the blanks and perhaps give an example of how to use them (for instance how to populate a Dropdown Menu if that is available)

 

Thanks

Hello. I had the same doubt when started to develop. I found the syntax is:

 

defineGatewayField("gateway","type","setting","value","name","size","description");

 

on type you can put:

 

text -> text box

yesno -> check box

textarea -> text area

dropdown -> dropdown

hidden -> hidden vars

 

for text:

 

defineGatewayField("gateway","text","name/id","default value","Field Name","Field Size","Description");

 

for yesno:

 

defineGatewayField("gateway","yesno","name/id","on","Checkbox Name","","Description");

 

*default value - blank means unchecked by default. "on" means checked.

 

for textarea:

 

defineGatewayField("gateway","textarea","name/id","Default Text","Text Area Name","Text Area Lines","Description");

 

for dropdown:

 

defineGatewayField("gateway","dropdown","name/id","Default Option","Dropdown Name","","Option 1,Option 2,Etc...");

 

for hidden:

 

defineGatewayField("gateway","hidden","name/id","field value","","","");

 

 

Please contribute if you discover more

Thanks RenatoMN. This is just what I needed.

Please note that for yesno, although it is put as "on" at the database, you need still to test it using "true" and "false".
