Examples for predefined selectboxes:

<listbox type="select-cat" rows="5"/>

<menulist>
  <menupopup type="select-account" options="All,both,2"/>
</menulist>

1. in $content["options-$name"]
2. or in an separate array only for select-box-options under the index name, this array is passed to the exec or show function of the etemplate-class

xml: rows: only for <listbox>: number of rows to show

xml options: only for <menupopup/>: textual label for a first Row, e.g. 'All' or 'None' (id will be ''), additional attr see sub-types

xml: type: can be set to get several predefined select-contents, in that case you dont need to set the content as descripted above (if set it too its in front of the predefined rows):
select-cat:
Select a phpgw category
select-account:
Select a user and/or group, determined by the options-field:
,{accounts(default)|groups|both},{''(phpgw-default)|0(only lid)|1(only names)|2(both)}
select-percent, select-priority, select-access, select-country, select-state:
as you expect by the name
select-year, select-month, select-day:
options for year: ,start,end (start and end can be a number of years from now or if > 100 a absolut year)
select-number:
Select a number out of a range specified by the options-field:
,{start (default=1)},{end (incl., default=10)},{decrement (default={padding zeros}1)}.
Example with padding zeros: options=',0,59,05' will give values: 00, 05, 10, ..., 55 (like you would use it for minutes in a time-field)
select-app:
Select an application, availible options: ,{''=user enabled(default)|installed|all)}

<date type="date-time"/>

Label xml: label: the labels of the tabs eg. 'Tab 1|Tab 2|Tab 3'
Help xml: statustext: of the tabs
Name xml: id: the names/ids of the eTemplates/grid's to fill the bodies of the tabs, if the name contains no '.', it will be prefixed with the name of the template the widget is in plus a '.'

Demo: There is a demo availible: load 'etemplate.tab_widget.test' into the eTemplate editor and run it with show.

Options xml: options: name of the template to display the rows
Name xml: id: index into the content-array, it need to be pre-set with some information for the nextmatch widget and it returns its content with it:

$content[$id] = array(		// I = value set by the app, 0 = value on return / output

Nextmatch-FilterHeader

<nextmatch type="nextmatch-filterheader" id="col-name"/>

nextmatch-filterheader

nextmatch-sortheader
Widget to be placed as a colum-header in the headerline of a nextmatch-template. It allows, by clicking on it, to order the lines of the nextmatch after a certain column. The column-name is given as name (xml:id) the label is show as a link of button (no javascript). Consecutive click on the header change the sorting direction, indicated by a little up- or down-arrow.

nextmatch-filterheader
Widget to allow to show only certain row, which match a selected filter-value. The column-name is given as name (xml:id), the options of the displayed selectbox need to be set as for an ordinary selectbox (eg. in the options parameter to the uietemplate::exec function). If no extra-label is given in options, lang('all') will be used for the empty value, which means no filter activ. An (optional) label can be given.

Note: Both widgets interoperate with the nextmatch-widget which passes the set values as part if the query-parameter to its get_rows function, they are not returned in the rows sub-array.

<link type="link-list" id="name"/>

<link type="link-string" id="name"/>

link-list

link-string

link-to
Widget to make a links to other entries of link-aware apps and to attach files.

link-list
Widget to shows the links to an entry and a Unlink Button for each link.

link-string
Comma-separated list of link-titles with a link to its view-method, value is like the return of bolink::get_links().
