Instance of a module as field

Hi all
I have a module made from called "Timeline città" made by CiMilSoft.
The "Base Options" box ("Opzioni di base" in italian language) contains a set of field of "Timeline" module.
[attachment=2:59g0h616]<!-- ia2 -->2_modulo_opzioni di base.png<!-- ia2 -->[/attachment:59g0h616]
Then, using FLEXIcontent, create a new Type, named "Città".
So I create a field, using "Load Module" as "Field Type", and selecting "Timeline città" from "Module" field from the box on right side.
At this point I have a trouble, because I want to create an item where I want to see "Base Option" box of my module of related module field (as "Load module"), but this don't appear!

[attachment=1:59g0h616]<!-- ia1 -->5_new item 2.png<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:59g0h616]
Because if I create a "Text field" called "Descrizione Città" as a "Text",in item creation I will see an empty text field (just what I need).
I want to do the same with my module's base options fields.
My target is to create 20 items that contains the same module, but with different input values (different instances) of this module (Timeline module is just an example).
What's wrong?
Any suggestions?

It is possible to do this e.g.

1. Duplicate a fcloadmodule FC field to create a new custom field fcloadmodulepar FC field

2. In new field add
- a parameter of type textarea called 'par_names'
- a parameter of type textarea[/b] called 'par_labels'

3. In this parameter you would enter parameter names of the desired module like this:
name1%%name2%%name3%%name4

4. Then in this new field also add function"
onDisplayField(...)
(a) which will split the above parameter ... into an array and use it to display text form fields in item form:

5. You would then change function onDisplayFieldValue() to use these data before creating the module, e.g place this code just after:

$mparams = array('style'=>$style);


The above applies for text parameters of the module, or other parameters for which you know their raw value

If you are a developer and this is important and want to try the please go ahead and also correct the above code as needed

Sorry, but from where can I duplicate "Fcloadmodule"? from code, or from panel?

Please read our FAQ article:

How to Duplicate a Flexicontent Field to create a new Field Type

NOTE that you will also need a parameter

par_labels


for adding parameter Labels to be displayed in item form, (i have updated code in my previous post)

Also from XML file of new field remove lines:

I really like the idea of customizing module per item, it gives real much more "juice" to our FCLOADMODULE field !!!

I have tested and confirmed implementation locally (needs a little more work than i described above ...),

Next public package will support this, via improved fcloadmodule !!

Module parameters will be displayed as text input form fields so e.g. if you have a select parameter e.g. "Show active language" No (0) and Yes (1) you will have to enter in the corresponding text input form field: 0 or 1 ...
maybe in future , when we have time we will try to render the XML file of the module inside the item form ??
