The "J1.5" namespace is an archived namespace. This page contains information for a Joomla! version which is no longer supported. It exists only as a historical reference, it will not be improved and its content may be incomplete and/or contain broken links.
Parameters have been superseded by form fields in Joomla! 1.6. You may want to use the corresponding Spacer form field type. |
The spacer parameter type provides a visual separator between parameter field elements. It is purely a visual aid and no parameter value is stored.
- type (mandatory) must be spacer.
- default (optional) (translatable) is a string which will be used instead of the <hr /> that is inserted by default.
Example XML parameter definition:
<param type="spacer" />
You can replace the basic horizontal line with a title which can be used to group parameters. For example,
<param type="spacer" default="Advanced parameters" />
Note that you can also include HTML markup but it must be encoded. For example, to put the text into bold you can use:
<param type="spacer" default="<b>Advanced parameters</b>" />
