Ali Majrashi Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 i think now most admin will use ip.pages with the powers and simplicity that comes with it but i think admins want more field options or creative ones to ease the task when we create awesome databases and pages with it out of the box 1- one field i need when i use ip.pages is grouped fields can we have the ability to group some fields and add a name for it and display them side by side in the edit or display template something like the polls Choices (so we can generate something like this easily) after we group them admin can config how they behave like flag the group as duplicable and button will be showing to duplicate the field like the add more choice for polls or filterable so we can generate fields like this easily with ability to duplicate or remove field in front end for our users to submit for this i have db with 145 fields with this option i can achieve the same thing with at least 20 fields 2- another thing i miss when using ip.content is the limit on field filters we have i hope with ip.pages we can use filters on all field type(text,dates,number,relationship,etc) allow advance users to add custom filters easily to any field 3- can we have time field yes i know we can adjust the date field to achieve it but at least add time picker rather than showing full date picker for the field 4- improve relationship field and add the ability to link by DB record_id or any row id 5- add the ability to update db with newer version i work in my localhost after that i export the db and import it in my live site i love this but if i updated my work in my localhost can we have the option or the ability to update our db from newer exported file that would be awesome 6- add linked dropdown one option in dropdown can trigger or show another dropdown 7- tags fields either based on exiting DB field or the central tags system i love how the menu showing to add tag into the text box 8- i love you IPS team for ip.pages lover and users if you have any suggestion or the things you miss or think it will make your life easier share it with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 While there is no grouping option directly, in 4.0 you can now easily define a form template for the database and group your fields how you like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have written several of such feature requests before. Regarding grouping or form steps/pages, regarding conditional fields (e.g. pick a car maker and then the car models of only that maker) and regarding such range fields, where you set one field and allow the user a specific or unlimited range of items for that field.
