What are the possible field filters in the parameters of the Joomla module?

Question

I am looking for a list of possible filters when adding parameter fields for module settings.

I know that filter = "raw" and filter = "integer" exist from examples in the Type field of a text form .

But what are the other possible filters for these fields?

Answer 1

I'm not quite sure if this is the case, but may want to see this list directly from the code using the clean() method.

Thus, the list will look like this:

• INT / INTEGER
• UINT
• FLOAT / DOUBLE
• BOOL / BOOLEAN
• WORD
• number, letter
• CMD
• BASE64
• LINE
• HTML
• ARRAY
• PATH
• USERNAME
• RAW

Let me know if this helps.

Posting as a guest so that I cannot comment;) You can also find a list of available field types useful for collecting data, such as URLs and emails. You can find the full list here . Also available in the folder structure in libraries/cms/form/field and libraries/joomla/form/fields . There are URL and email fields that I think include appropriate filtering. Usage in XML file:

 <field name="myAwesomeURL" type="url" class="awesome"></field> 

This is displayed as an input text box.

Answer 3

To be precise, Joomla begins to apply a filter with this filterField function . In this code, you can see several types of filter , such as TEL , SAFEHTML or so on. From this function, if there is no match, it will go further than indicated by @ValentinDespa. It also allows you to call your own function if it is "called". I recognized this scatter after I looked at the code by another developer having filter="intval" .

Hope this helps!
