Trying to display article picker in subform

[mixahlos]

Hi,
I am creating a custom module and I want the user to be able to select multiple articles.

So what I did was to set a subform field and then load the xml which contains the modal article picker.

Code: Select all

        <field name= "articles"
          description= "Select Articles"
          type= "subform"
          label= "Select Articles"
          required= "true"            
          formsource= "modules/mod_articleblocks/models/forms/articles.xml"
          multiple= "true"
          buttons= "add,remove,move"
          layout="joomla.form.field.subform.repeatable-table"
          groupByFieldset="false"/>

And the xml file modules/mod_articleblocks/models/forms/articles.xml

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form>
  <fieldset addfieldpath="/administrator/components/com_content/models/fields">
    <field 
      name="article_id" 
      type="modal_article" 
      default="" 
      label="" 
      description="" />
  </fieldset>
</form>

I also tried to place the field in a new fieldset in another tab with this code :

Code: Select all

<fieldset name="Articles" addfieldpath="/administrator/components/com_content/models/fields">
        <field name= "articles"
          description= "Select Articles"
          type= "subform"
          label= "Select Articles"
          required= "true"            
          formsource= "modules/mod_articleblocks/models/forms/articles.xml"
          multiple= "true"
          buttons= "add,remove,move"
          layout="joomla.form.field.subform.repeatable-table"
          groupByFieldset="false"/>
</fieldset>

with this xml :

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form>
    <field 
      name="article_id" 
      type="modal_article" 
      default="" 
      label="" 
      description="" />
</form>

The result is the same, the modal article picker is displayed is not displaying any articles as you can see in the screenshots.
