SUGGESTION - Install many different extensions at once
- Written by: M. Alexandre ELISÉ
Hello Super Joomlers!
Just a little question: Would you find useful to you if you were able to install many different extensions from different developers all at once using drag-n-drop?
As of today Joomla! only allows one extension at the time using drag-n-drop.
I know that there are packages, but packages are from the same developer.
Waiting for your answers, feedback and suggestions.
SUGGESTION - Drag-n-drop your menu links at any depth
- Written by: M. Alexandre ELISÉ
Hello Super Joomlers!
Another idea popped in my head. It came from a user experience issue that I stumbled upon whan using menu links reorder in Joomla! 3 backend (I didn't tried yet on J4). Here is the problem : Be able to drag-n-drop the menu links to reorder them no matter their depth in the menu hierarchy. As of today we can just reorder the menu links of depth 0. Do you have the same user experience? If you do, does a solution to this precise problem would you be interested in a solution to this problem?
I am waiting for your answers, suggestions and feedback
TIPS - Custom fields and the law of relativity
- Written by: M. Alexandre ELISÉ
Let's say you want to add a calendar custom field for some event (business, party, meeting)
and you want to have a default datetime for the event that is let's say 3 days from now.
The start date is now.For just 3 days it seems easy to calculate in your head,
but what if you don't want to bother do that and rather say something like:
Hey Joomla! I wanna 3 days from now please. Can you do that? Sure.
- Create two custom fields of type calendar: start-date and end-date
- Set default for start date by typing now
- Set default for en d date by typing now +3 days
That's it change and experiment with other values it should work.
EXTENSION - Dynamic Custom Fields Inference
- Written by: M. Alexandre ELISÉ
Hello! Super Joomlers
The concept of "Dynamic Custom Field Inference"
Attempt to "infer" the type of custom field to dynamically create based on cached api
Dynamic What ? Just think of it as "Choco Fields!" Chocolate Custom Fields, synthaxic sugar around custom fields creation wrapped around cached api ice cream
Do you think it's April's Fool Day? Of course! But this extension is real.
Meet "Choco Fields"
