Here is the field it's called Member. I'm using it in a external component. The field Type is Member. I hard coded the table and the component names. Down here in the get option, you will see I have a whole different set of PHP script. Which is using custom help methods, check access. It's also up here, I'm getting the input and I'm checking, is there referral values, is there a field ID value, and if [00:31:09](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h31m09s) there is, I'm using this values down into the searching and getting here. It says: Load the main member only. You know there are all kinds of tricks I'm doing and it's all happening in the PHP. I know that this PHP is getting dumped into this area here.

Always remember that there it needs to be a value what I want to place in the database and the value I want my user to see. These values can theoretically be exactly the same, like that. But it didn't have to be. [00:32:15](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h32m15s) You can decide, the only reality is, if that's the value you place in the database, that's the type of value you will need to set up. If this is going to be a string, this value here, then you will need to come back and you will need to check if your database is not an integer. Because if you saving a string, you want at least have a VARCHAR about 250. [00:32:44](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&index=74&t=137s&t=00h32m44s) That'll work, but if you change the multiple, it means: can a user select more than one value? If you change that to true, again you will need to change your database to at least TEXT to be able to store or a very big VARCHAR which is also possible to store these values. If they are going to be a strings, then I usually use TEXT. I just like it, [00:33:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h33m18s) easy enough. If it's going to be lots of options, you can go bulk, there is way more than I think you would ever need. The reality is we can determine what these values are. I'm making sure that the member value is an ID. But I'm using a helper method to take this ID and get the members name. Why? because the member's name is difficult to know because it could be different values based on the [00:33:58](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h33m58s) different member types. Some members having their name in the user table, some members have there names in the members table. So that's different places the members name can live. With this little function I wrote in the helper class, I can determine the members name by simply the ID. Or I could add the user and the name and it makes it quicker to for the function. This function has a little bit of a speed up if I have these values available. But like over here, I don't, I only pass the ID and it still works. This is the maneuverability of a selection. [00:34:44](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h34m44s) You can adapt this to whatever you want. The only reality is that the moment you will set your, I would call it convention of this field type, then you will need to honor that convention across your component. If you decide that you're saving a string in that field, then you will need to now you are dealing with the string everywhere. If you're saying you're saving a multiple select, the default storing method usually works out of the box. +Let me show you one of those fields. Here is the field it's called Member.

So the multiple switch If we search it up We'll see that it actually gets passed [00:39:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h39m07s) To the builder right there one of the it's parameters We go and search Where the Builder all is used will see that the multiple switch is also in a variable So we can go up and you can search You can search for this where does multiple get set Ok so we started of This this method Didn't start with multiple so that scroll down let's see Where is multiple come from [00:39:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h39m43s) There's multiple And it's set to False to start with Ok So we're in the beginning of set the dynamic field We check multiple is false then we get set field attributes and multiple gets passed to it Let's check field attributes we go let's go to the actual function We see here comes multiple but it's passed with a reference that means he whatever we do to this value In this method We'll go back to where it started So over here [00:40:15](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h40m15s) We doing a check At some point Let's see we got Properties Validate Let's search that the variable multiple That's go ha Here we found the property name which is multiple We retrieve the value From the XML Check that the value gets added here and we check is that value true and if it's true we trip the switch [00:40:50](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h40m50s) To multiple so that literally gets down the through what you put into the JCB Interface This little Field Where is it If you Set this to True it will trip that behavior So that's how that works So the multiple switch is a powerful switch and it Really helps you even if you miss [00:41:21](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h41m21s) The the storage Obviously it doesn't update the database Selection but if you miss the storage thing The default will work Ok But if you did that it will still work even if you select one of the encryption options it will Still work Because it actually is a little bit intelligent Ok so if we go back here And we go back to the [00:41:52](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h41m52s) Set Builder The set builder function is one of those places where you could figure out a whole lot of things About how they JCB compiles Custom fields So this is a good place to start you know your search The other one that we already looked at is the set attribute This one here The set attributes is where we actually work with the original values that we get from the database the properties As well as the actual field So [00:42:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h42m28s) We use the field value to determine many things And we parse every value, the reason why we remapped this is to make sure we can Sort of fix things if you made a mistake So there is some some things here to try and catch Any Human error on the side of JCB that also means you could be doing something wrong and things still work That happens And then someday maybe someone decides no they don't want to catch that fix anymore You know which I'm trying to [00:43:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h43m07s) You know prevent I wanna keep the The fixing place And then suddenly your Project Doesn't work I'm trying to avoid that But it's good to know how it must be done Right So you just do it that way To start with [00:43:25](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h43m25s) Ok So That is Basically a little bit of that, let's go back to the field Suggest in conclusion You could add any kind of code here Basically it is what gets The list and it's with this string here That you are adding options to the list so basically in this little chunk here Basically you check do I have the items if yes you can decide if you want to put a placeholder you [00:43:58](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h43m58s) See there select a Preacher if we go to sermon And We We see that it's first option is select a Preacher And it is basically this little snippet here that does that So you could You could do that now The When you do multiple select Then this [00:44:23](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h44m23s) Doesn't work well just take it from me If you up here Chose To allow multiple Where is it here True Then I would suggest you take this option now [00:44:37](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h44m37s) Because it will be look like an option to select it won't Behave the same as now Where you actually click away and it's gone it will be an option and The option is a blank there's like a no string That is how We detect That it's empty It's this no string value here Ok so That is what that is up there and then you start looping this t forward slash is basically [00:45:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h45m07s) A tab so you could put an actual tab in there The way I do that is I would go to you copy a tag from here copy go back And paste it in And You could do this In fact Most of the time this is the better way to To make the code look [00:45:32](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h45m32s) Beautiful And Correctly spaced This is This is often what I do Is I move all the code Just one little knots In fact I think I needs to be two So I move it all Like this and I know it sounds Crazy But that is what I do [00:45:56](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h45m56s) So now the code will look very nice and good in the display If I save it Let's Let's make a little comment here Hi there and then This is set to be the prime so save and close And now we can Go and compile this Install [00:46:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h46m28s) And in our preacher table we have that little hi there And unfortunately the first value should not have a space Yeah the spacing of Of field types is still well many areas actually in JCB It's like where we're at a place where I don't know how we will be able to fix this So that it always behaves sort of better like that is now with you I need to do to get that space in just right And I I know that feels a little Wrong place That feels a little Uncomfortable [00:47:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h47m10s) But it's really It's difficult to catch it correctly for every Implementation So Currently That's the work around so if we compile it and we go back We check it's Now it's correct And there's our little note [00:47:34](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h47m34s) So our spacing is working out If you didn't add the space it will Sometimes work out something like that That's how it look Ok Which still will work it just doesn't look nice So on this view we have this as a custom field this is a custom field This is category field the tag field And this is a custom field [00:48:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h48m07s) So we have Many different Custom fields Which is quite nice List folder this is a custom field a multiple select Custom field External This is a custom field This is a custom field So [00:48:29](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h48m29s) There are many custom fields on this page And you can actually In JCB when you've imported sermon distributor If you don't know how to do that There are tutorials Maybe the best quickest path to showing you that it's just JCB import Then VDM packages How to get Free keys from VBM [00:48:56](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h48m56s) Because sermon distributor Is one of the three packages There are many free packages not all of them are Free like these are not free But They are even component builder is one of the free packages that you can get a key for So you could click here go get a key I tell you the the The way that we have Build components [00:49:23](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h49m23s) In JCB And all the fields that we've used I mean you can come here you can go to Preacher And all those custom Fields that I just clicked They are here Wait this is not the right one sermon This the one had so many So it's this one To come to Fields and here they are that's custom [00:49:50](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h49m50s) That one is custom This one This one You could click this local file list Wanna see how to list and local file list With a custom field Well this is how I did it I don't even have look here There isn't even Any Table here [00:50:12](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h50m12s) There's even the button is false Extend list yes I doesn't have a table doesn't have a component none of that I just dumped it And I you see the first one is Back there Now I get parameters I first get the folder path from the global so if you want to see for Example oh how did he set this how to get this setting while let's go out of this would come back here again And out of this Then let's go to the component [00:50:47](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h50m47s) And you'll see that there is a component config area we open that Going of the path a bit but just bear with me And one of those Fields Let's see set up here no it's sermon s there's obviously many in this one Sermon Let's see Sermon menu sermon panel box Sermon media [00:51:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h51m27s) Sermon Ok it's not down here execution time Download So It was up here all along Local folder path So it's a It's a text area Which is in sermon tab so if we go here and we click options There is a sermon tab and there it is local folder path so you can set the local folder path for this [00:52:01](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h52m01s) Where the local files are going to be placed And It is because of this file here This field Now if you wanna check the fields check the spelling local folder path close it out And go to fields And type in Local Local ok [00:52:35](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&index=74&t=137s&t=00h52m35s) Oops So there it is this a text one we select that Are you can see how I built that Simple field type For the hint Nothing fancy Now I'm going back to our field If we Go back to the field we were looking at We go back to admin View [00:53:02](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h53m02s) We don't need to go into the sermons But ok that that is a easier way right so we go in here Now we go get into local file Open that So basically in our component We checking this components value for local folder and if it hasn't got one we fall back unto images The image path And that's where we start Now We do a first option [00:53:33](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h53m33s) Which is please add files and we take the local folder path result And we pass it into here into options Now Then we load the file import Ops classes And we check does the folder exist If it doesn't we create the folder Now check if there is files in the folder So we do get files This is the Function in Jfolder [00:54:04](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h54m04s) And If it's true We actually take the files and we Reset the get options because remember up here we told it to add files but now here with this we reset basically the Options variable And now we start loading the files and then we give it back And so we used both value here see file and file Which is actually very easy way to To do a local folder setup [00:54:36](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h54m36s) And make people select now again we just looking at demo Component we just looking at it external source manual file is also custom how am I doing this Well it's quite complicated thing so it is a Basically I'm using a helper class get external source link And I don't again look at that there is no table There's no no external component There's nothing Just [00:55:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h55m10s) Just these values go look at it if that's all it is there and it's working that should tell you that you could do the same And get it to go because this is the actual issue this result That's what we need to have correct So having looked at this or get external links source while that's an helper Class how is that close that out Helper classes are stored in the component area So you go to Joomla components Go into the component And you go to libs helpers And here you can scroll down [00:55:49](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h55m49s) And get download links is a big method get We should have Copy that So here is a function get external source length and has a few arguments And it does a few other get externals listing And does a few trip switches here And That's how I eventually return [00:56:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h56m18s) Something to that function And We get that list Ok so That's how you should take demo components and Sort of decipher it's implementation structures and don't think it's more complicated than That it isn't it's really simple JCB is very Resilient It can [00:56:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h56m43s) Adapt itself to Specific implementations So the custom field Is my opinion one of the fields I Have enjoyed Extremely very much And I'm using it all the time everywhere And I am constantly making sure trying to ensure that it's behavior Remains [00:57:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h57m07s) Yeah remains stable But also becomes sort of surprising like Just adding this value request ID If you if you look at Sermon distributor And Let's close out here This is again This is not only for custom fields But since we are on This explore process if we go to main menu [00:57:37](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h57m37s) And let's say we wanna create a Field for the sermon menu sorry and let's say we gonna do Series now you see that there is a whole bunch of values here Look at that Whole bunch of values From sermon distributor In relation to the series And they all said Global Panel Box I mean this is a stunning feature right and it's Very easy to do [00:58:11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h58m11s) Because all that I had to do to get those features there is to take this list query ID This value Is what actually makes this a selectable item In the menu so if I Go back here You see I have a series and you can select Test The way that JCB set this selection option up Is just by me adding this Request ID [00:58:45](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h58m45s) to To this field name Ok that's how that happened Now how did I get all the rest of the values These on the page as well Let me show you the way to get All the fields that you add to the config for example this We were looking at which one were we looking at the series [00:59:08](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h59m08s) The way to get all the series Fields That your add here To show at the menu is the fact that this name matches the site name That's how it works And if there is a field here That you do not want to actually have load here There is a way to do that so I'm gonna demonstrate that quickly As part of custom fields in a way So let's say I don't want them to set the default icon here anymore [00:59:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h59m40s) Then I want it always just fall back on the global Then I can actually Go to Let's see close out here Here is the series default icon I can scroll down and there is this Extra properties I can say add I can select display Now display switch for dynamic placement in relation to use of the field in menu and global [01:00:15](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=01h00m15s) configuration options So the config option will only add the field to the global configuration area Many will add the field only to the menu area and if you don't add this it will add to both So if we only want it to be in the config area We basically just add this value here Now Let's save and close and compile to show you How it Took it out and now let's go back there and let's create [01:00:58](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=01h00m58s) a new menu That's again look at sermon Distributors series And now we see that the Icon is missing here no longer showing up Where are we If we go to the sermon distributor global area And to series We'd see that the icon is still there So all the rest of these values [01:01:26](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=01h01m26s) are Showing except this one and this one Ok so Now let's Tweak A Little More Let's instead of config Let's say only menu I want value only in menu save And then compile It install then go here refresh And there we have it Now it's here [01:01:54](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=01h01m54s) And if we go back to sermon distributor and refresh It's no longer here So that's how you can control The reason why all these buttons are here is because it's under this tab the reason why all these buttons are here it's because It is this this view name series's is the same as this tab name series's That is how the connection is made that's how the buttons gets move and if you Don't want a button here Then This extra Display [01:02:31](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=01h02m31s) Option here can toggle where you want that button to show up And is to say none will let the button show up on both Ok well we're almost over an hour now I've said quite a lot of things I don't know hopefully this will help you understand little more about custom Fields and it's amazing Agility and ability To bring relationships together Let me think is there something else Yeah there is one more thing let me do that +[00:34:44](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h34m44s) + +You can adapt this to whatever you want. The only reality is that the moment you will set your, I would call it convention of this field type, then you will need to honor that convention across your component. If you decide that you're saving a string in that field, then you will need to know you are dealing with the string everywhere. If you're saying you're saving a multiple select, the default storing method usually works out of the box. [00:35:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h35m19s) If it doesn't you can come and try Json. Especially when you have multiple values but usually it does it out of the box. I can show you why. If we go to the compiler, go to the fields class in the compiler, it has a function called setBuilder. The setBuilder function is really a little oversize at the moment. It started out small believe me, I could see the option of decoupling some of this out into its own separate methods. It works very well and it's easy to understand. [00:36:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h36m00s) We can come down here, we ask what is the data type? Is it set? If it's set we determine through various methods this is what we have and we go ahead and we set database keys and all kinds of database relationship information query builder gets updated with a lot of information and stuff. So the database information gets used up here. [00:36:39](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h36m39s) We want to look at the storage switches. Coming down here where we have setup checkbox and other joint items for this view, we are going to check what type of field is this. If it's a subform, if it's check boxes, or if the store method is not zero which is default, if we have a database switch. [00:37:17](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h37m17s) And that it's not a tag, the type name. We are coming here, if it's any of these fields, it will check if you set your own storage switch. Obviously if none is set it will fall back onto the JSON. It needs to be JSON, if it is one of those fields. It automatically builds it. That means the default will be JSON, then if you select JSON, it will still be JSON. That's just how this catch works. If you don't know it should be, we will in the compiler help you get to the same place. + +### Multiple Selection - Not A Subform - Not A Checkbox - Multiple Switch Gets Triggered + +[00:37:56](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h37m56s) + +It also means that sometimes you might have a multiple select option in a list field, which is not a subform, not checkboxes, but it's multiple. The multiple switch gets triggered. It will still come in here. Even if you set [00:38:22](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h38m22s) it to be JSON, where in the compiler we have the multiple switch to check is this field having multiple selection? Yes, well then we will need to save it as a JSON. That is what this does. It takes care of the fact that it's JSON. BUT it mustn't be a tag and it must have a database switch. The database switch means the data mus be stored into the database. If there's no storing of the data in the database, we don't need any of this. If we search for the multiple switch, we'll see that it gets passed [00:39:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h39m07s) to the setBuilder, one of the parameters. We can go and search where the setBuilder all is used. We will see that the multiple switch is also a variable. + +??? + +We can go up and you can search. You can search for this where does multiple get set Ok so we started of This this method Didn't start with multiple so that scroll down let's see Where is multiple come from [00:39:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h39m43s) There's multiple And it's set to False to start with Ok So we're in the beginning of set the dynamic field We check multiple is false then we get set field attributes and multiple gets passed to it Let's check field attributes we go let's go to the actual function We see here comes multiple but it's passed with a reference that means he whatever we do to this value In this method We'll go back to where it started So over here [00:40:15](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h40m15s) We doing a check At some point Let's see we got Properties Validate Let's search that the variable multiple That's go ha Here we found the property name which is multiple We retrieve the value From the XML Check that the value gets added here and we check is that value true and if it's true we trip the switch [00:40:50](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h40m50s) To multiple so that literally gets down the through what you put into the JCB Interface This little Field Where is it If you Set this to True it will trip that behavior So that's how that works So the multiple switch is a powerful switch and it Really helps you even if you miss [00:41:21](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h41m21s) The the storage Obviously it doesn't update the database Selection but if you miss the storage thing The default will work Ok But if you did that it will still work even if you select one of the encryption options it will Still work Because it actually is a little bit intelligent Ok so if we go back here And we go back to the [00:41:52](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h41m52s) Set Builder The set builder function is one of those places where you could figure out a whole lot of things About how they JCB compiles Custom fields So this is a good place to start you know your search The other one that we already looked at is the set attribute This one here The set attributes is where we actually work with the original values that we get from the database the properties As well as the actual field So [00:42:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h42m28s) We use the field value to determine many things And we parse every value, the reason why we remapped this is to make sure we can Sort of fix things if you made a mistake So there is some some things here to try and catch Any Human error on the side of JCB that also means you could be doing something wrong and things still work That happens And then someday maybe someone decides no they don't want to catch that fix anymore You know which I'm trying to [00:43:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h43m07s) You know prevent I wanna keep the The fixing place And then suddenly your Project Doesn't work I'm trying to avoid that But it's good to know how it must be done Right So you just do it that way To start with [00:43:25](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h43m25s) Ok So That is Basically a little bit of that, let's go back to the field Suggest in conclusion You could add any kind of code here Basically it is what gets The list and it's with this string here That you are adding options to the list so basically in this little chunk here Basically you check do I have the items if yes you can decide if you want to put a placeholder you [00:43:58](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h43m58s) See there select a Preacher if we go to sermon And We We see that it's first option is select a Preacher And it is basically this little snippet here that does that So you could You could do that now The When you do multiple select Then this [00:44:23](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h44m23s) Doesn't work well just take it from me If you up here Chose To allow multiple Where is it here True Then I would suggest you take this option now [00:44:37](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h44m37s) Because it will be look like an option to select it won't Behave the same as now Where you actually click away and it's gone it will be an option and The option is a blank there's like a no string That is how We detect That it's empty It's this no string value here Ok so That is what that is up there and then you start looping this t forward slash is basically [00:45:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h45m07s) A tab so you could put an actual tab in there The way I do that is I would go to you copy a tag from here copy go back And paste it in And You could do this In fact Most of the time this is the better way to To make the code look [00:45:32](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h45m32s) Beautiful And Correctly spaced This is This is often what I do Is I move all the code Just one little knots In fact I think I needs to be two So I move it all Like this and I know it sounds Crazy But that is what I do [00:45:56](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h45m56s) So now the code will look very nice and good in the display If I save it Let's Let's make a little comment here Hi there and then This is set to be the prime so save and close And now we can Go and compile this Install [00:46:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h46m28s) And in our preacher table we have that little hi there And unfortunately the first value should not have a space Yeah the spacing of Of field types is still well many areas actually in JCB It's like where we're at a place where I don't know how we will be able to fix this So that it always behaves sort of better like that is now with you I need to do to get that space in just right And I I know that feels a little Wrong place That feels a little Uncomfortable [00:47:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h47m10s) But it's really It's difficult to catch it correctly for every Implementation So Currently That's the work around so if we compile it and we go back We check it's Now it's correct And there's our little note [00:47:34](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h47m34s) So our spacing is working out If you didn't add the space it will Sometimes work out something like that That's how it look Ok Which still will work it just doesn't look nice So on this view we have this as a custom field this is a custom field This is category field the tag field And this is a custom field [00:48:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h48m07s) So we have Many different Custom fields Which is quite nice List folder this is a custom field a multiple select Custom field External This is a custom field This is a custom field So [00:48:29](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h48m29s) There are many custom fields on this page And you can actually In JCB when you've imported sermon distributor If you don't know how to do that There are tutorials Maybe the best quickest path to showing you that it's just JCB import Then VDM packages How to get Free keys from VBM [00:48:56](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h48m56s) Because sermon distributor Is one of the three packages There are many free packages not all of them are Free like these are not free But They are even component builder is one of the free packages that you can get a key for So you could click here go get a key I tell you the the The way that we have Build components [00:49:23](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h49m23s) In JCB And all the fields that we've used I mean you can come here you can go to Preacher And all those custom Fields that I just clicked They are here Wait this is not the right one sermon This the one had so many So it's this one To come to Fields and here they are that's custom [00:49:50](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h49m50s) That one is custom This one This one You could click this local file list Wanna see how to list and local file list With a custom field Well this is how I did it I don't even have look here There isn't even Any Table here [00:50:12](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h50m12s) There's even the button is false Extend list yes I doesn't have a table doesn't have a component none of that I just dumped it And I you see the first one is Back there Now I get parameters I first get the folder path from the global so if you want to see for Example oh how did he set this how to get this setting while let's go out of this would come back here again And out of this Then let's go to the component [00:50:47](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h50m47s) And you'll see that there is a component config area we open that Going of the path a bit but just bear with me And one of those Fields Let's see set up here no it's sermon s there's obviously many in this one Sermon Let's see Sermon menu sermon panel box Sermon media [00:51:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h51m27s) Sermon Ok it's not down here execution time Download So It was up here all along Local folder path So it's a It's a text area Which is in sermon tab so if we go here and we click options There is a sermon tab and there it is local folder path so you can set the local folder path for this [00:52:01](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h52m01s) Where the local files are going to be placed And It is because of this file here This field Now if you wanna check the fields check the spelling local folder path close it out And go to fields And type in Local Local ok [00:52:35](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&index=74&t=137s&t=00h52m35s) Oops So there it is this a text one we select that Are you can see how I built that Simple field type For the hint Nothing fancy Now I'm going back to our field If we Go back to the field we were looking at We go back to admin View [00:53:02](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h53m02s) We don't need to go into the sermons But ok that that is a easier way right so we go in here Now we go get into local file Open that So basically in our component We checking this components value for local folder and if it hasn't got one we fall back unto images The image path And that's where we start Now We do a first option [00:53:33](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h53m33s) Which is please add files and we take the local folder path result And we pass it into here into options Now Then we load the file import Ops classes And we check does the folder exist If it doesn't we create the folder Now check if there is files in the folder So we do get files This is the Function in Jfolder [00:54:04](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h54m04s) And If it's true We actually take the files and we Reset the get options because remember up here we told it to add files but now here with this we reset basically the Options variable And now we start loading the files and then we give it back And so we used both value here see file and file Which is actually very easy way to To do a local folder setup [00:54:36](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h54m36s) And make people select now again we just looking at demo Component we just looking at it external source manual file is also custom how am I doing this Well it's quite complicated thing so it is a Basically I'm using a helper class get external source link And I don't again look at that there is no table There's no no external component There's nothing Just [00:55:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h55m10s) Just these values go look at it if that's all it is there and it's working that should tell you that you could do the same And get it to go because this is the actual issue this result That's what we need to have correct So having looked at this or get external links source while that's an helper Class how is that close that out Helper classes are stored in the component area So you go to Joomla components Go into the component And you go to libs helpers And here you can scroll down [00:55:49](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h55m49s) And get download links is a big method get We should have Copy that So here is a function get external source length and has a few arguments And it does a few other get externals listing And does a few trip switches here And That's how I eventually return [00:56:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h56m18s) Something to that function And We get that list Ok so That's how you should take demo components and Sort of decipher it's implementation structures and don't think it's more complicated than That it isn't it's really simple JCB is very Resilient It can [00:56:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h56m43s) Adapt itself to Specific implementations So the custom field Is my opinion one of the fields I Have enjoyed Extremely very much And I'm using it all the time everywhere And I am constantly making sure trying to ensure that it's behavior Remains [00:57:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h57m07s) Yeah remains stable But also becomes sort of surprising like Just adding this value request ID If you if you look at Sermon distributor And Let's close out here This is again This is not only for custom fields But since we are on This explore process if we go to main menu [00:57:37](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h57m37s) And let's say we wanna create a Field for the sermon menu sorry and let's say we gonna do Series now you see that there is a whole bunch of values here Look at that Whole bunch of values From sermon distributor In relation to the series And they all said Global Panel Box I mean this is a stunning feature right and it's Very easy to do [00:58:11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h58m11s) Because all that I had to do to get those features there is to take this list query ID This value Is what actually makes this a selectable item In the menu so if I Go back here You see I have a series and you can select Test The way that JCB set this selection option up Is just by me adding this Request ID [00:58:45](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h58m45s) to To this field name Ok that's how that happened Now how did I get all the rest of the values These on the page as well Let me show you the way to get All the fields that you add to the config for example this We were looking at which one were we looking at the series [00:59:08](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h59m08s) The way to get all the series Fields That your add here To show at the menu is the fact that this name matches the site name That's how it works And if there is a field here That you do not want to actually have load here There is a way to do that so I'm gonna demonstrate that quickly As part of custom fields in a way So let's say I don't want them to set the default icon here anymore [00:59:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h59m40s) Then I want it always just fall back on the global Then I can actually Go to Let's see close out here Here is the series default icon I can scroll down and there is this Extra properties I can say add I can select display Now display switch for dynamic placement in relation to use of the field in menu and global [01:00:15](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=01h00m15s) configuration options So the config option will only add the field to the global configuration area Many will add the field only to the menu area and if you don't add this it will add to both So if we only want it to be in the config area We basically just add this value here Now Let's save and close and compile to show you How it Took it out and now let's go back there and let's create [01:00:58](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=01h00m58s) a new menu That's again look at sermon Distributors series And now we see that the Icon is missing here no longer showing up Where are we If we go to the sermon distributor global area And to series We'd see that the icon is still there So all the rest of these values [01:01:26](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=01h01m26s) are Showing except this one and this one Ok so Now let's Tweak A Little More Let's instead of config Let's say only menu I want value only in menu save And then compile It install then go here refresh And there we have it Now it's here [01:01:54](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=01h01m54s) And if we go back to sermon distributor and refresh It's no longer here So that's how you can control The reason why all these buttons are here is because it's under this tab the reason why all these buttons are here it's because It is this this view name series's is the same as this tab name series's That is how the connection is made that's how the buttons gets move and if you Don't want a button here Then This extra Display [01:02:31](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=01h02m31s) Option here can toggle where you want that button to show up And is to say none will let the button show up on both Ok well we're almost over an hour now I've said quite a lot of things I don't know hopefully this will help you understand little more about custom Fields and it's amazing Agility and ability To bring relationships together Let me think is there something else Yeah there is one more thing let me do that In the components admin [01:03:12](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=01h03m12s) View You can add what we call a linked view Right So I am doing that here In the sermons Basically in the preacher Admin View I am linking the sermon On tap 2 so I'm giving it the name And Did the child key That means the place where we getting the data [01:03:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=01h03m43s) No no wait a minute The the one who The View is sermon And in the Sermon table there is a column called preacher And that column preacher Is a custom field right And we decided that that custom Fields save the ID Of the preacher so the field name is Therefore preacher where is the value in the current [01:04:23](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=01h04m23s) Table Which is again here Preacher Is going to be the ID right This is the relationship between these two areas And then the placement Whether is going to have what kind of button Add new new and close button or add new or close button or just a new button These are some of the features that is available So [01:04:52](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=01h04m52s) Now sometimes it happens that you have a multiple selection and you still want to Set this relationship So there is a way to do that if it's a multiple selection so let's say this sermon could belong to more than one Preacher which in this case is not but let's just for a moment say it can Then you could do this. Wait. That Just that without anything else that will mean that it will now check whether This ID is in the array of this value If this array is a Associative array so let's say you have the value but it's in an associative array [01:05:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=01h05m43s) And Dissociation is maybe Key then you do that so if the array looks like this So if it looks like that Then You wanna target that area Then you would do The key If you are targeting a More than one [01:06:12](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=01h06m12s) Value so if it's this or that one We have an one called or So it could be Preacher or Let's say maybe have a teacher You can say or Servant Maybe these are the columns That mapped to this ID You can have the or [01:06:41](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=01h06m41s) In there And it can link multiple values But ok I think I'm going way over the edge here it's not really custom code The custom Fields so much there but Because custom fields are the majority of the time used To set up this relationship right You you set up these relationships With custom fields That is where that Livability comes in [01:07:12](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91iIAuHZj38&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=01h07m12s) And The linking of a table into another one Ok Well thanks for watching In an hour of your time hope it's been worth it Thank you. \ No newline at end of file
