It would be great if we could just add a single LinkList field to items, where the editor could add any number of links. That way we don't have to add 10 or more single Link fields to an item, which looks messy. The EditableList field is not great fo ...

Are you planning on adding an item selector field? For selecting a single item, something like the LinkManager control could be used, but only items of a given type should be selectable. For selecting multiple items, I guess something like the ecom g ...

It would make it a lot easier for the editor if it was possible to distinguish item types in the site tree. Right now all item types have the same icon. Could you make it possible to assign a custom icon to each item type? If this is already possible ...

It would be nice if we could somehow generate an item class from existing item definition or database table. Would that be possible? ...

It would be great if we could make field groups collapsible, so that we can "hide" some of the fields from the editors view to make it easier to focus on the most common fields. If this is already possible, please tell me how. I'm using the ...

On item types it is possible to mark a field as required. It would be nice if the editor could see what fields are required when creating new items - maybe they could be marked with an asteriks? ...or whatever the usability gurus recommend this year. ...

When marking a reply as answer on a forum thread that spans multiple pages it will not make that answer appear under the initial post on the first page. Could you change it by making all answers appear right after the initial post so that we don't ha ...

The idea is to have a full functioning export en import function of websites or maybe even parts of the website tree. This would have to include all pages paragraphs and itembase. Why? - When developing updates on existing sites this happens on a tes ...

As far as I can see it is not possible to specify the item type description through an attribute on a custom item class. Could you make an overload of the ItemAttribute that takes both a name and a description as parameter? like [Item("My item t ...

Page or paragraph limitation We need to be able to specify that a certain itemtype is only allowed on a page and another item type is only allowed on a paragraph. I tried to make a custom CreationRule, but the CreationRuleContext passed as parameter  ...

The administration UI seems unnecessarily complex and heavy. I would love to see a totally new administration UI - maybe in Dynamicweb 9? Things I would like to see in a new UI: More responsive / asynchronous UI - AJAX/JSON, application framework (e. ...

Hi all, I am not sure whether or not this functionality is already doable, but I find it very useful on other shops, so I would like to report it as a feature request. Frontend user functionality: On a product list page with misc. filtering options,  ...

It would be great if it was possible to create a more "rich" dropdown list (but not complex), just like the layout/paragraph template selector. We could then assign a small image/icon (and maybe description) to each option that illustrates  ...

When creating a new instance of an item type with a file field and no file has been selected then the value "/Files/" is stored in the database. Shouldn't it be empty? Would it be possible to add an option to make it store unselected file a ...

Hi, Would be nice if we could get access to the eCom Countries loop in the register/edit profile and to all of the authenticated user tags in the cart Nuno ...

Are you going to add index search and smart search for the new item types? ...

Right now you can only create a single-file field on item types. It would be great if it was possible to create a folder field. When you create an item you would then be able to select a folder in the file archive and a list of files in that folder w ...

Sometimes a little description/hint under an input field can be a great help for the editor. We can add a short description in the field name, but that feels a bit wrong. Maybe a separate description field (plain text) is a good idea? And maybe you c ...

I would like to propose the option to define SQL when exporting/importing data in the data integration module. Right now when you export data you seem only to have the option of exporting all or nothing from a given tabel(s). Shouldn't it at be possi ...

There are some issues with the HttpCompression module that comes with Dynamicweb. The default settings specify that it should use deflate compression, but gzip is recommended for various reasons - google it :) The default browser on most Android devi ...
