i've a question :
is it possible to set the directory parameter of a media field joomla dependng on the content of another field ?
ex.
<field
id="dir"
name="dir"
type="text"
required="true"
label="Dir"
description="dir_Desc"
class="inputbox"
size="40"/>
<field name="photo" type="media"
label="PHOTO"
description="PHOTO"
**directory= ??dir??**
/>

I recently migrated a website from Jekyll to Joomla (currently 3.9). Therefore I made an own Joomla Template. It is already in production, but of course it gets regular updates. I use a quite standard development/release approach, versioning like 1.1, 1.2, 1.2.1 and so on. These numbers are always up to date in templateDetails.xml. Nothing special so far. But this has some very inconvenient issues:
Every time I upgrade the template I have to set a different template/style as default, uninstall the old version, upload and install the current version and set its style as new default. Is there really no better way for upgrading a template, especially if it has an higher version?
For each update all my configurations of the style get lost. I already put the defaults accordingly in the templateDetails.xml, so I don't have to do this on every upgrade. But I can imagine this may cause problems when I change the configuration in the back end without updating the template. This would result in potential configuration loss after an upgrade. Can I keep any style configuration when upgrading?
Third, I'm thinking of using different styles for different pages on my website. These would also get lost when upgrading, so I'd have to redefine them regularly. I also would have to reconfigure all pages using these styles to use them again. Is there a way to define several styles in templateDetails.xml, so they are stored in my zip file?
Edit: As Irfan asked for, here is my current templateDetails.xml

I'm trying to add a link to a field in the joomla contact form. I'm trying to achieve this:
<field name="contact_terms"
type="checkbox"
id="contact-terms"
description=""
label="I agree to <a href='http://example.com/terms'>Terms and Conditions</a>"
default="0"
value="1"
required="true"
/>
but it gives an error and I'm just very very new to joomla. How should it be done?
Do I need separate Struts action for each form?
Currently, one web page have two forms in jsp. I currently put all validation code in validate() in the Action class. The problem is that it appears the net result is that Form A will then be linked to Form B and vice versa since the validation code is inside the same Action class.
So am I correct that if I want the two forms to be validated independently, then I would require two separate Actions?
Form A:
<font color="red" size="2"><s:actionerror /> <s:fielderror /></font>
<s:form action="NewcreateUser" method="post">
<s:textfield type="text" name="form1filed" key="temp" size="11" label="Mobile_Num" required="true"></s:textfield><br />
<s:submit value="Continue" id="continueSignUp" validate="true"></s:submit>
</s:form>
Form B:
<font color="red" size="2"><s:actionerror /> <s:fielderror /></font>
<s:form action="NewcreateUser" method="post">
<s:textfield type="text" name="form2filed" key="formb" size="11" label="Mobile_Num" required="true"></s:textfield><br />
<s:submit value="Continue" id="continueSignUp" validate="true"></s:submit>
</s:form>
Here You can validate your fields,both form1filed,form2filed with the same Action class
NewcreateUser,And the NewcreateUser-validation.xml file looks like this,
<field name="form1filed">
<field-validator type="required" short-circuit="true">
<message key="form1filed Is Required" />
</field-validator>
</field>
<field name="form2filed">
<field-validator type="required" short-circuit="true">
<message key="form2filed Is Required" />
</field-validator>
</field>
Is it possible to list K2 categories in a module parameter using something like the default Joomla category field type?
<field name="mycategories" type="category" extension="com_content" multiple="true" label="Category" description="" />
Thanks in advance.
Taken from K2 content Module:
<fieldset name="basic" addfieldpath="/administrator/components/com_k2/elements/">

In the image provided of my registration page, I wish to put a vertical separator inbetween the form on the left to have another form on the right to be completed for the registration but I have no idea how to do it.

Also the second part of my question pertains to the drop down menu, how would I put an extra option other than #_usergroups that when selected will alter the drop down menu to change into a text box? Below is the coding used for the xml.

1. Vertical separator:
you can use a hack i.e. create some fields which will output markup.
The idea here is to insert an extra
<div style='width:50%'>
before the first field;
Then a
</div><div style='width:49%;border-left:1px dashed black'>
where you want the separator
and finally a at the end.
Create three new spacer fields.
You can either insert properly escaped html directly:
<field type="spacer" name="splitterinit" label="<div>" />
or put the html as language constants in the language file:
SPLITTER_MID="</div><div style='width:49%;border-left:1px dashed black'>"
and simply use the constant in the .xml:
<field type="spacer" name="splittermid" label="SPLITTER_MID" />
2. Extra text option:
Easy: Simply add a text field below to allow the user to type in.
Harder: Create a custom element, there you can write php and make it
as you want it
3. A word of advice
Chronoforms features a user registration override that lets you define all the fields you want, and for sure you'll find more similar extensions on the JED
Also, all community solutions feature custom profiles.
