Elxis 4.x does does not use spacer/separator. It uses
parameters groups
instead.
These groups can have titles (with language support), can be collapsed or expanded and bind to other parameters.
Example
<params group="IMAGE_SETTINGS" collapsed="0">
<param />
<param />
<param />
</params>
<params group="Categories" collapsed="1">
<param />
<param />
</params>
<params>
<param />
<param />
</params>
There are many new parameter types. A related one is
comment
.
<param type="comment" name="members_com1" default="CATEGORY" label="" description="" />
<param type="comment" name="members_com2" default="" label="" description="">CATEGORY</param>
<param type="comment" name="members_com3" default="" label="" description="">
<![CDATA[<span style="color:#ff9900;">Category!</span>]]>
</param>
The new parameter types:
previewlist
(nice for previewing things),
file
(yes, you can upload files via XML and get saved into parameters! Even auto resize is supported for image uploads!),
folderlist
(many usages),
imagelist
,
category
,
country
,
range
(super useful),
month
,
usergroup
,
username
,
hidden
(with autovalues support!),
comment
,
color
(wow!),
position
,
collection
.
You want more? Check
hide/show
options (taken from articles module):
<params>
<param type="list" name="source" default="0" label="SOURCE" description="SOURCE_DESC">
<option value="0" hide="1001,1002">ANY</option>
<option value="1" show="1001" hide="1002">CATEGORY</option>
<option value="2" show="1002" hide="1001">MULTIPLE_CATEGORIES</option>
<option value="3" hide="1001,1002">AUTONOMOUS_PAGES</option>
</param>
</params>
<params groupid="1001" collapsed="1">
<param type="category" name="catid" default="" dir="rtl" label="CATEGORY" description="" />
<param type="radio" name="subcats" default="0" label="INCL_SUBCATEGORIES" description="">
<option value="0">NO</option>
<option value="1">YES</option>
</param>
</params>
Even more element types are supported by the
elxisForm
library for building web forms.

<param type="file"
name
="
myimage
" path="modules/mod_xxx/" filetype="png,jpg,jpeg,gif" maxsize="0" resizewidth="0" resizeheight="0" default="" label="IMAGE" description="" />
in this parameter there's something of strange
if i have more of same module pubblished in the site, and any module manage an his image, is impossible to manage them because in module the file is renamed with the parameter name "myimage".ext
scenario:
module image a --- image
beutifulplace.jpg
renamed in
myimage.jpg
module image b --- image
concordiapalace.jpg
renamed in
myimage.jpg
the same thing happens if i use this parameter to upload other type of files, example swf files
<param type="file"
name
="
myswf
" path="modules/mod_xxx/" filetype="swf" maxsize="0" resizewidth="0" resizeheight="0" default="" label="IMAGE" description="" />
scenario:
module flash a --- file swf
sunrise.swf
renamed in
myswf.swf
module flash b --- file swf
chinese.swf
renamed in
myswf.swf

This is how the "file" parameter works in XML.
The file is stored with the name of the "name" attribute. So if you copy the module you will have troubles. Except if the module has been built with this in mind (there can be different file parameters with different names for each module instance*).
If you want just to pick an image from a folder then use the imagelist parameter type.
* Note regarding module instances
The exact module instance can be retrieved in the module's php page with:
$elxmod->id
** Note regarding multi-sites
The file XML parameter is safe to be used in multi-site environments if the
multisite
keyword is set into the path attribute.
During upload Elxis will replace this keyword with the sub-site id.
Supported multisite keyword formats:
{multisite}
{multisite/}
{/multisite}
{/multisite/}
Example
<param type="file" name="myimage" path="modules/mod_xxx/{multisite/}" filetype="png,jpg,jpeg,gif" default="" label="IMAGE" />
If we are on the mother site the save path will become: modules/mod_xxx/
If we are on the sub-site with id = 2 the save path will become: modules/mod_xxx/site2/
