Hi all,

Trying to make Pages similar in usability as Joomla, I suggest to include more templates for database, categories and listing templates. The category listing template is really ugly, they're articles, not a blog! 

I suggest to include

a) The "recipes" and "release notes" should be included as default in every IPB Pages installation. It will not harm to add a lot of ways to show the information.
b) Category listing should have options like database's  article template  (category 3 column feature image).  Some very nice things were done by users, why dont include them?

c) Import/Export for data OR move content between databases.

Pages has a lot of potential, good for the admin, but regarding look & feel you must learn template syntax to do something nice.

Best Regards!

Complètement d'accord avec tout ce qui est dis 

 

Am I correct in thinking you can only have article style layout on one database at a time still?

Fortunately, you are not. It's a per-database configuration and can be used on any database since 4.0.

Hey @Daniel F are you planning to add a grid system just as Elementor does? That rows and column based on Bootstrap like 🙂 

That, combined with the actual widget system, would be absolutly great!

Well, while it's not the same, we have a similar system in the background already;) You can already define the base template ( 1,2,3 columns ) while creating a page.

 

 

Sounds like you know you're way around the IPS system. Do you make tutorial videos? You would really be helping so many people to putting together videos explaining and showing how to do things. Thanks for replying.

take a look

What about actually adjusting the fields and or record views with little coding?

For example, I want to create a quick custom form for 'incidents'. Below is the default view in the record with fields displayed.

So for me to make this look like a proper form, I have to go and edit the entire record template to get it to properly look like a form.

My suggestion still stands since day one where I was pretty savvy with IP.Content is that IPS should probably offer some out of the box templates. Right now, for 90% of users, it's too much work and requires too much coding knowledge to be usable. Yeah, I can go through and create some real custom stuff out of IP.Pages, but honestly - depending on 'what' I need to create. It might take me a bit more work to create an actual application, but it's more sane in the process.
