Folder List Field Guide

The Folder List field provides a drop down list of folders from a specified directory.

Directory: It is the filesystem path to the directory containing the folders to be listed. If omitted, the directory given by the JPATH_ROOT is assumed.

Folder Filter: It is a regular expression string which is used to filter the list of folders selected for inclusion in the drop-down list. If omitted, all folders in the directory are included.

Exclude: It is a regular expression string which is used to exclude folders from the list.

Recursive: If enabled, the list of folders recursively includes any sub-folders as well. If you have a large number of sub-folders, this can make page loading slow.

Hide None: If enabled, the '- None selected -' item is omitted from the dropdown list.

Hide Default: If true, the '- Use default -' item is omitted from the dropdown list.

Multiple: If enabled, multiple values can be selected from the dropdown list.

Form Layout: Choose the layout that will be used to render the field in the form view.
