The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

I needed to create richly annotated articles to create a research database. FieldsAttach gave me exactly what I was after. The support is incredible, and the prices reasonable. I would not have been able to complete my project with other tools! Cristian, you are awesome!!

This component is wonderful!

works perfectly well in Joomla 3.2!
Thanks to Cristian, its developer, who kindly invests his time to write and improve this extension, the Joomla now has a simple and powerful CCK


It is really a great component!, Simple to use and integrates with joomla articles or category

If you need a simple CCK and especially working with com_content (default joomla items) .. . FIELDSATACH is your extension!

Hi

thanks a lot for making something like this. however their seems to be few things missing like if you can add the option to put title or alt text for images that would be great. this one is not working in particular. the plugin seems to be taking article title as the title and alt for every image but its not picking up or showing on the front.


thank you

I raised a bug on the version for J3 and in just two hours Cristian fixed it by releasing a new version.

This guy has won me over, when will release: Extra types, Modules or Plugins for J3 I will buy them.

Very excited to find this and start using it. I look forward to more tutorials and information in English. Thanks!

I m giving 5 stars to this extension despite it is not yet 100% ready and mature. It worths finally the 5 stars mostly because it has a great potential and needs the attention by the joomla community.
First of all it's free. Second the developer is passionate with it and provide fast responses in support requests. He gave me the feeling that he wants to see this extension growing.
And I strongly believe that this extension has plenty of room and chances to grow, as it opens a whole new world of possibilities for our beloved Joomla and the native article management.
Now in the usage, at first, it is not the easiest and most straight forward extension for beginners, but at the other hand with some efforts and research everyone can make use of it, even if he has to ask for help from the support.
There are several improvements or enhancements that can be implemented to this extension and all depends on the direction the developer will take for it.
For example:
Focus on making it a system for developers to deliver a custom ready to use CCK solution for their customers ?
Put more efforts to make it even easier with back-end creation of html templates output for the end-users?
Create patterns for integration of the custom fields, like the drop-down list, to get data from other extensions ?
In any case the possibilities are endless here...
Even it is still under development, I believe it needs the support and the attention by the community. Its functionality can be considered a must have or even be included in the core as it shows the potential to drive joomla to even higher flights.
Can't wait for the future...!

It is very useful when you need add some custom fields to Joomla Articles. It would be nice to design the output of content plugin by yourself and put it in any place of article or use PHP variables in layout template.
Code of this extension might be more clear but it is quite good.

I like this extension because I don't need to use a big CCK for some small changes in the output. I had some problems at first but now (almost) everything works as I need it.

So, I have not gotten a long way into using Fields Attach but I am already more impressed than I have been with any other CCK I have used ( k2, Flexi, Sobi ), and with just what I have seen so far I am impressed enough to give a 5 star review.

Compared to other CCKs, it’s more intuitive, runs off standard articles / DB and .. and well.. it just works!

I am still using K2 for certain things as I know it well, I like it, and for certain jobs it is very hard to beat, but Fields attach (along with learning how to do article and category output overrides through the menu item selection) means it is just as / if not more powerful than others, opens up huge possibilities and frankly it is actually easier to achieve more complex results - plus I believe more extendable in the long run.

I will say you may need some PHP knowledge to get the most out of the product but if you REALLY use other CCKs, you need it anyway.

Fields Attach deserves a lot more attention. Great work, and I look forward to the future of this tool.

Hello

The world of CCKs is exciting. There are different types and each one has pros and cons. Choosing one is a hard work because you have to test them thoroughly to know them well and because most of them are very good.

In recent years I have tried almost everyone (K2, Zoo, Seblod, Pages-and-Items, FLEXIcontent and ContentBuilder). For large projects I choose Seblod because it is extremely powerful and although gain control over it is an arduous task, it allows to do anything imaginable. But for most of sites is overkill.

Then I decided to try FieldsAttach and I fell for him. Easy, stable, free and works with com_content.

If what you need is to add some data quickly or completely control the look and feel of the Joomla articles (through Joomla and FieldsAttach overrides) to create all kinds of content (Catalogs, Downloads, Blogs, News, etc.) there is no doubt, FieldsAttach is the king.

My customers are happy because they add content articles from the standard manager (FieldsAttach adds form fields to default Joomla article manager) and I'm happy because I can do it easily and effectively.

And better, the development is fully alive.

And much better, the developer answers your questions or solves your problems with an astonishing speed and friendliness.

Thanks Cristian

Very good component, just that what im was searching for! Easy to configurate, looks nice on the homepage. As i needed help, the developer was realy quick availibe and helped me out!

Big thanks to you!!

I was looking for an extension that would allow me to easily put extra fields in the articles pages, a bit like the custom fields of wordpress ; I tried K2 but found it quite complicated, then i discover Fieldsattach and it was exactly what i needed ; texts, images, links, gallery, forms… the extra fields can have different types and will certainly cover all your needs… above all, it's very easy to configure and to use : you create a group of fields, attach it to a category or an article ; and when you edit the article, the fields appear just under the article and can be filled… in the front end, the fields appear in the content or via a module that you can put anywhere on the page ; also you can put tags directly in your template to place your fields where you want…
The extension is in constant development, so the author add often new functionality but it's already fully working and stable…
Plus the developer is easy to reach via its plugin forum and always ready to help !!! great !

This is wonderful. K2 is no longer needed or any other cck, with this get your additional fields and in a simple manner. Most imprecionante for me was, I can put these fields to show places you want.
And for those who like me do not know how to put subtitles to your articles, you FieldAttach provides that and more.
Thank you and continue to help the developers of this great extension for this to be one of the best.

I would like to rate this component excellent. With field-attach, we can include custom fields in Joomla default core article. No other cck's provide this feature in a simple way. I used field-attach for one website. I found it is easy to use field-attach fields with NoNumber's content templater + module anywhere plug-ins. Using Field Attach Module, I inserted extra fields in NoNumber Content Template and it worked smooth with fixed styles and position. I feel, A step by step tutorial to create Template API (current one only help advanced joomla users) would surely increase this component's popularity

I look for put some extra field in joomla article, and after long time searching I found solution in Fields Attach. The component is more simple of the others cck, and much more easy. That is a component which missing in joomla.

I actually just stumbled over Fieldsattached, wondering if THIS could be an answer for my quest to find a *simple* and *easy* way, giving my customers the possibility to add info in a padronised way... something I searched for a long time already.
Many CCK´s are just to bloated up, don´t have a seamless Joomla integration or are just to hard to learn for my customers.

Installing Fieldsattach is simple, the free extension is covering almost everthing you need. Some plugins you may buy from the developer site, what I think is a good way to secure the ongoing development.

I started to play around with the extension and some minor bugs came up. The forum is free and I posted my findings, hoping that during the next week somebody would answer. The very next day Cristian, the developer, already started working on my problems and he needed less than 24 hours to remove the bugs from the program and release a new version! That´s a new record!

I really am grateful for such a fast easy and near time response. We have here a very dedicated programmer which is very valuable to the Joomla! community... I can not say "THANK YOU" enough!

I did spend Cristian a beer and I really hope, everbody will do the same. Fieldsattached is THE answer for everyone trying to add custom fields! Try it out and get back to the developer if you have any problem!

allowed for rich content/layout articles and without a bloated interface/functions list.

Impressive and likeable extension. This is not the most configurable, but it's the best for quickly create content type. the strength of this extension is to use the base Joomla rather than separate the cck management system from the basic content management system.

after checking and using for the last years many other cck, this is by far the most easy to setup for basic needs. maybe it is also a good fit for more advanced scenarios, havent checked though. it does what it says, easy, quick and good

Finally I found this extensions and I am happy with it more and more. Easily installed, easily configured and very powerfull.
It provides simple API to use the fields however you need.
