Items: General features

Hi,

 

We have a few suggestions on Items:

  • Limit Items (and Paragraphs if possible) to Containers - Creating layouts, we sometimes want to limit (Banner) items to a certain container
  • Do not update System Names when updating Item Name - sometimes we have to update the name and need to also update all template references
  • In the Custom Fields loop, create a subloop with the options if it is a list type field (dropdown, radio,...) - we used them for a Hotel Directory, and used an item field to set the possible Cities. In the frontend we wanted to list all of the cities, and without the subloop, was a bit harder
  • Custom icons for Items - Have a specific folder in the File Manager, where we could upload our own custom icons for items
  • Viewed/Clicked statistics on Items
  • Group items in Item types, for example, place "News Item" underneath "News" and "Blop post" underneath "Blog Thread"
  • Friendly URLs for Items

Hi Asger,

 

Point 2. must have been corrected. It happened in the version I tested in November.

Hi Nuno

Changing the system name requires changing names of tables in the database. Items have never been able to do that. Then it will have created a new instance of the item type with the new system name. System names can only be changed in UI when it has not been saved the first time or directly in the item type definition in the XML.
