How to create serialized parameter?
i.e. I have one or more depositfiles link, different for each article.
Also there are perhaps other fileshare services
You don't say which version of Joomla you're using, so answering for 1.5+
Joomla 1.6/1.7
One option is to use a text field type. See a list of all the types available to you here:
http://docs.joomla.org/Standard_form_field_types
However, it is possible to create your own custom field type with a better user interface. Say, a text box with a '+' button that gives you more text boxes for links as needed, but saves in a similar manner to the above. This works the same as custom field types in a component - see here for a tutorial:
http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_create_a_modal_form_field_in_1.6/1.7
Joomla 1.5
Use a text parameter type. See a list of all the types available to you here:

I'm trying to create a WFFM form and I need to set one of two fields to be required. Do I need to create custom fields? Or is this something that I can achieve with the module itself?
You could possibly use the Morph module, which you can download from the Sitecore Marketplace.
From it's description:
Selection-dependent inputs require users to enter additional
information related to an initial selection before they can complete a
form. In almost all cases, it allows making web forms simpler and more
responsive to user actions and personalizing forms depending on
visitors’ features.
If memory serves it uses the Sitecore Rules Engine to decide which fields to show/ hide based on inputs. However, I'm not 100% sure whether you can use the Required checkbox there, but worth a try.
No custom field types are needed. The WFFM Form Designer has a Required checkbox for each field row and most standard fields support this along with a custom validation message.
I create my own module with some form field.
How add/remove dynamicaly this form field?
For example, there are "Add button". I click on this button and form field add.
Please HELP!!!
this cannot be done in this section, as a module layout is a static template for the module. All of the fields are set when the xml file is read during module installation.
For set fields you can always use JavaScript to hide particular fields, but if you want to create,edit,delete or update information on multiple instances you will need a component. A nice easy to use component creator can be found here - http://joomlacomponentcreator.codelydia.com/
I would kindly ask for your help :) From couple of days I am trying to achieve "linked" custom field in content editor and dropdown in page editor.
Basically I want to have dropdown in page editor and content editor which are responsible for a same thing.
In my c# code i have enums which represent directions. I created custom field which accepts assembly and class with overridden onload method and successfully populate dropdown values in the content editor. So far so good but i have no idea how to create dropdown which will represent the same functionality inside page editor.
So please give me any ideas...
Judging from your reply to my comment you need to think of the following: How is my field value being rendered onto a page?
If you are always using 1 control to do this then you just need to ensure that this control has 2 different rendering modes depending on the Context.PageMode
But as I understand it you want this dropdown to also appear when someone renders your custom field using a <sc:FieldRenderer>. In this case you'll need to look into the RenderField pipeline of Sitecore. There you find a processor called RenderWebEditing. Possibly through some manipulation here you can get your dropdown appear as you wish.
I've recently added custom fields to the article component using the documentation in the following url:
http://docs.joomla.org/Adding_custom_fields_to_the_article_component
Now this adds the custom fields defined to every new and existing article. Is there a way to define custom fields for specific article layout overrides.
Example:
If I have custom layouts for the category blog, (news, portfolio, events) can I define different custom fields for each category when creating a new article?
Kind of the way custom post types work in wordpress, or the way k2 component works, can this be done in joomla alone?
This is considerably easier to manage in K2 since the functionality is built in to do specifically what you want. It is trivial to assign extra fields to each category without having to go through the much more complex process described in your link.
However, if you want to stick with com_content, then you will need to create alternative layouts for displaying each category. You will still have all of the custom fields show up in the admin, but you can control the display on the front end with the alternative layouts. Here is the documentation (it's the same for 2.5) - http://docs.joomla.org/Layout_Overrides_in_Joomla_1.6#Introduction_to_Alternative_Layout_Feature_in_Version_1.6
I'm begginer in the Orchard CMS.
I would like to create Content Type composed from different parts and fields which I know before. I want this content type to be enumerable ie I use content part List, I want to list it using telerik components.
For example my content type is Product and I specify its fields: Price, SKU apart from default: user(who created it) and creation time fields. Moreover the product contains also image gallery, ie image gallery content part.. I want the list of products to be shown using Telerik component Grid, including creation time and user name.
Is it better to create the whole module specifying all its fields(price,SKU) and its templates or is there any way to just take what has been already created in orchard as a content type and display it different way(using telerik)..
thanks for any advice ;)
