- flexible configuration

Filters:

- default filter templates

Simple Syntax, #:You can insert Fields anywhere on your site by using Syntax:

  • in the same article and component: #{field_id}
  • in another article and the same component: #{fieldid,articleid}
  • in another component: #{fieldid,articleid:option(e.g. com_content)}
  • #{fieldid.{params}} - changing fields and filters parameters on the “fly” (format json), eg. {‘base’ => {‘showname’: 1}}
  • #{fieldid,context} - in what context you need display the fields, eg.: modcustom.content. The field will be displayed only in the custom module
  • #{fieldid,articleid:option,context,{params}} - Simple Sytax with all options

Competent extension

Functionality
Almost perfect functionality. I would have the ability to click my fields without the filter button and keep the total numbering of articles
Ease of use
Yes. When you figured out the first step. Making the lists in Components.
Support
incredible support. Top 2 ever when working with Joomla extensions. And
Documentation
I used this to: A non-profit media history archive for a sports club support association.
This is the right way to do custom fields and content types in Joomla 2.3-3.x and beyond. You simply add the fields you want and assign them to the content categories where they will be used.



Fields and Filters is the best non-commercial extension of its type, and it's probably the simplest of all CCKs. What is lacking is good English documentation and instructions within the interface. As another reviewer noted, Forms and Fields lacks the following: easy styling of fields, nested/conditional fields, and the ability to get raw field values discretely anywhere.

UNIQUE EXTENSION!

A UNIQUE EXTENSION AND EXCELLENT SUPPORT! This is such a great extension with a HUGE potential! I havent found any extension that adds fields and does filter for Joomla Articles. All of them I looked at were for K2 and this extension is like gold if you want fields and filters feature for default Joomla Articles. This extension makes the Joomla Articles so powerful and it will be perfect for those who doesnt want to install a full-blown CCK that can seem bloated. I tested it with Joomla 3.3 and I can confirm that it works really well! And more than anything - THE DEVELOPER'S SUPPORT IS INCREDIBLE! Really! I read a lot of review here where people had mentioned the same thing and all of those great reviews were confirmed when I contacted Tom for support. He is really prompt in replying and most important he genuinely does try to help you out with your questions in a very polite manner. Even many paid extensions doesnt give awesome support like this! A very dedicated developer indeed - no doubt about that! I learnt a lot from his incredible work ethics and dedication. The brief video demo helped a lot too. I liked it since the demo was to the point without carrying on and on, no lame techno music or boring commentary. I replayed it a few times while installing and the video made more sense. Also if you have any doubts, the developer is always reachable (which is more important than anything). Its amazing that this is for free. I really hope that the development of this continues and this goes a far way. I wish Tom the very best! :)

Awesome!!!

Awesome package. Thanks for your work, appreciate.

Beautiful component



Posted on 15 June 2014
Beautiful component, very simple even for me who am not an expert, i hope in some kind of field more in future versions,example gallery, and the ability to assign a class to the individual filter, thanks. Sorry for my bad english
This component is really great, easy to set up, easy to use, fast and simple. In my opinion, an absolutely briliant alternative to complex "CCK" component.

Thank you !

Very good component

Great extension, easy to use. In my opinion it's better than a "CCK" because this extension adds the extra fields in a separate tab in the back-end article view without modify the Joomla core; furthermore, in the front-end the extra fields can be viewed in several positions: after the title (very useful) or after the content or before the content.



Thank you Tom, great job.
