View source for Adding custom fields/Parameters for all Custom Fields

=== Tab: Options ===

; Form Options

These options affect how the field displays when it is shown in an item's edit view.

* '''Placeholder''': A placeholder text which will appear inside the custom field as a hint for the input. The placeholder is active in the Backend while creating an article or a contact or a third party component that supports custom fields. You do do not see it in the Frontend.
* '''Field Class''': The class attributes of the field when the field is editable. If multiple classes are needed, separate them with spaces.
* '''Label Class (Form)''': The class attributes of the label when the field is editable. If multiple classes are needed, separate them with spaces.
* '''Editable In''': Which part of the site should the field be shown for editing? You can choose the option ''Site'' (front end), ''Administrator'' (back end), or ''Both''.
* '''Showon Attribute''': Show or hide the field depending on the value of another field. For more information, check ( ADD LINK ).


; Display Options

This options affect how the field displays when it is shown on the site (in the front end).

* '''Display Class''': The class attribute of the rendered field container. If multiple classes are needed, separate them with spaces.
* '''Value Class''': The class attribute of the rendered field value. If multiple classes are needed, separate them with spaces.
* '''Label''': Should the label be shown with the value when displayed on the site? You can choose either ''Show'' or ''Hide''.
* '''Label Class (Output)''': If the label is set to ''Show'', you may enter the class attributes of the label. If multiple classes are needed, separate them with spaces.
* '''Automatic Display''': Joomla offers some content events which are triggered during the content creation process. This is the place to define how the custom fields should be integrated into content. You can choose 'After Title', 'Before Display Content', 'After Display Content' or 'Do not automatically display'.
* '''Prefix''': Text which will display ''before'' the field value on the site.
* '''Suffix''': Text which will display ''after'' the field value on the site.
* '''Layout''': If you have created a layout override for this field, you can select the layout here.
* '''Display When Read-Only''': If someone is editing an item where this field is assigned, but does not have the permission to edit this field, should the field display? You can choose 'Inherit', 'Yes', or 'No'.
