Options has 5 comma-separated fields:
1. if it contains a 'i' and/or a 'b' the content (not the label) is rendered in italic and/or bold.
2. link: if set to a menuaction string or an array with get-params (via the content-arry), a link to that methode = app.class.method is put around the label
3. if set URLs in the content get activated
4. name of form-element the label is for: gives focus to that element if the label gets clicked
5. target for the link, eg. _blank
6. widthxheight if a popup should be used for the link, eg. 600x400

Options has 3 comma-separated fields:
xml: size: the length in chars of the input-field
xml: maxlength: the maximum length of the input
xml: validator: perl regular expression to validate the input (kommas are allowed in the expression)

Options has 3 comma-separated fields:
xml: min: minimum value, default none, empty values are Ok, as long as needed is not set
xml: max: maximum value, default none, empty values are Ok, as long as needed is not set
xml: size: the length in chars of the input-field, default 5

Multiple checkboxes can have an identical name ending with [], in that case the value will be an array with the set_value's of the checked boxes. You can use a button with a custom javascript onclick action of eg. "toggle_all(this.form,form::name('nm[rows][checkbox][]')); return false;" and a set_value of "$row_cont[id]" to toggle all checkboxes in the lines of a nextmatch widget. The form::name( ) function translate the name used in the template into the name used in the form. If the button is an image-button, check needed to render it as button and not as image with link, which has no this.form property!

needed: if set and the user has JavaScript enabled the button is renderd as a link around the label and a hidden input to set id if the link is clicked.
Options xml: image, ro_image: Image to use instead of a Button with a label. There will be no button around the image. If a ro_image is given (separated by a comma in the editors options) it will be used if the button is set readonly (else the button is no rendered at all) . onclick: specify some java-script to be called if the button gets pressed/clicked:
a) general javascript: "window.close();"
b) confirmation: "return window.confirm('');" (message get run through lang()!)
c) popup: app.class.func&id=$cont[id],target(default _blank),width (default 600),height (default 450) You can use $cont[] or $row_cont[] (note no quotes!) to pass further information to the popup via the content array.)

multiselect: options > 1
<listbox rows="#"/>

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-dow:
Select one or multiple weekdays, keys are as defined in MCAL_M_... (1=Sun, 2=Mon, 4=Tue, ...)
select-app:
Select an application, availible options: ,{''=user enabled(default)|installed|all)}

Options: [duration-storage-format] [,[duration-display][,hours_per_day]]
duration-storage-format: 'h' = hours (float), 'd' = days (float), default minutes (integer)
duration-display: 'd' = days, 'h' = hours, 'dh' = days or hours with selectbox, optional '%' allows to enter a percentage
hours_per_day: conversation between hours and (working) day, default 8 hours_per_day: conversation between hours and (working) day, default 8

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). One can specify a default sorting: options={DESC|ASC} (default=ASC), to be used when the header is clicked for the first time. 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.

nextmatch-accountfilter
The Accountfilter allows to select users (via the prefered user-selection-method) to filter by them. In all other aspects it is identical to the filterheader.

Note: All three 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.

Note: Both Widgets can be used on the same template with the same name. They share the content of that variable, which contains just the id of the entry in the current app.

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