Fields and Filters is a manager to manage the additional fields as well as the ability to filter them. (elements).
Component does not overwrite the Joomla core files.


Fields:
- easy ability to manage fields

- flexible configuration
- add fields to different position of the article
- add values field without first saving article

- default field templates

Filters:
- module to display fields type filters
- ajax filtering articles

- using the list view articles, without any additional CSS styles for the view 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

I looked all over the web for an extension that would do what this one does and I finally stumbled upon this one and not only does it have what I was looking for, but also the developer offered great support, quick responses, everything you could dream of for a free extension. I strongly recommend this extension.

Heavy potential



Posted on 18 June 2013
This extention MUST grown:

- Some more fields, like dropdowns, urls, geo, selects group, which must be styleable with custom css classes;

- Allowing nested/conditional fields;

- Filter output templateable, like category blog etc;

- All fields/values must be discretely available from DB, (not all field values inside of one array);

After this extention grows into described direction, all other CCKs will say goodbye. The cause is simple: there are many CCKs in Joomlaversum, but all of them have weak sides. The most weak sides are: using of own, not native Joomla content items, impossibility of detailed search within own content. This one can do both: create fields for Joomlas native content items AND do detailed search within own fields. Tomasz, do it good and consequent, and you will be quickly on top!
Owner's reply: Many thanks for your review and high rating. I added your proposals to my task list. If you'll have following solution please let my know.

I would like to comply my component to the largest group users as posible.
