Link article from a module parameter (field modal_article)


I want to develope a joomla! 2.5 module on which the admin could select an article so that the selected article will be displayed as a link in the frontend. The params of a module are declare in the modulename.xml file, so I want to know if there is a field type like the one that lets you select an article when you create a menu item to show a single article.

here is the xml file

<fieldset name="basic" addfieldpath="/modules/mod_ctfapartados/elements/">
<field  name="" type="article"  default="0" label="MOD_APARTADOS_LINK_ONE_LABEL"
description="MOD_APARTADOS_LINK_ONE_DESC"

Solution

  • for some reasons i am not able to edit the code in my previous answer so here is the revised part of code

    <fieldset 
         name="request" 
         addfieldpath="/administrator/components/com_content/models/fields">
         <field 
               name="article_id"
               type="modal_article"
               label="label"
               required="true"
               description="desc"/>
    </fieldset>
