Advanced Joomla Development: Create Custom parameter group for module

There is three types group in joomla xml module parameter:

1. params
2. Advsnce
3. Legacy
   

These are fixed .We cannot create any other custom parameter Group. But I myself find a way to create custom parameter group. These are in the following:

1. at first go to administrator\components\com_modules folder then open admin.modules.html.php file
2. in this file go to line 437 Where is .There you can see $p = $params; in line 442 .after this line put this following code:

for($i=0;$i<10;$i++)>

if ($p->getNumParams('a'.$i)) {

echo $pane->startPanel(JText :: _('a'.$i.' Parameters'), "a".$i."-page");

if($params = $p->render('params', 'a'.$i)) :

echo $params;

else :

echo "

".JText::_('There are no parameters for this item')."

";

endif;

echo $pane->endPanel();

}

}

Now in your module XML file put the following code:

<params group="a1">

<param type="text" name="a1" value="Some text" />

<param type="text" name="a1" value="Some text" />

<params />

<params group="a2">

<param type="text" name="a2" value="Some text" />

<param type="text" name="a2" value="Some text" />

<params />
