I am making a backend extension for Joomla! 3.X. I have a view, where you can add, edit and delete entries. Entries are searchable. Searching is done with Joomla searchtools:
echo JLayoutHelper::render('joomla.searchtools.default',array('view'> $this));
Form used for filtering is defined as a XML form in /models/forms and filtering is handled by corresponding model.
Problem: I would like to add descriptions to some of the numeric fields (see picture), which explain what each field does.
I tried:
Adding label and description to my fields, but they do not show up (default does, but it is not usefull enough here, I need descriptions outside fields)
Adding spacer field, but it does not show up in this context
<field type="spacer" name="myspacer" label="Description of field" />Adding disabled text field with default value (it works, but it is not a clean solution)
Editing search form with JavaScript located in my view (works, but is again not very clean)
Question: Is there a clean way to add custom HTML (such as line breaks and descriptions of fields) to my form, which is defined in a XML document?
Thank you in advance!
