Joomla XML Standard Field Type – Spacer

Standard field type Joomla XML – Spacer displays a visual separator between fields in a form, which has several display types.

The first option to display the separator looks like this:

This kind of separator adds a simple horizontal bar, which has the following code:

<field
    name="myspacer"
    type="spacer"
    hr="true"/>
Code language: YAML (yaml)

The second option for displaying the separator looks like this:

This kind of separator adds only text. The code for this separator is as follows:

<field
    name="myspacer"
    type="spacer"
    label="Текстовый разделитель"/>
Code language: YAML (yaml)

The delimited field has the following attributes:

• name – the system name of the field.
• type – the type of the field, in this case «spacer».
• label – the display name of the field.
• description – the displayed field description. In Joomla 3, it is displayed as a tooltip when hovering over a field name.
• hr – responsible for displaying a horizontal line. Values can be true or false. If the option is set to true, then the value from the label attribute will be ignored.
• class – applied CSS field classes.
