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","val ue","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".
