What do you think on the new native fields?

Do you plan to integrate into their new implementation?

Hello

- For upcoming FLEXIcontent v3.2.0 (already implemented in Github repository)

The J3.7+ fields are editable and in FLEXIcontent item form
and are also shown in FLEXIcontent item / category views

Later either in v3.2.0 or in v3.2.1, we will add more intergration for them ...
Also it is a possibilty that later we will release some FLEXIcontent fields as J3.7+ custom fields

I would love to use fields for categories to add additional images. "also shown in FLEXIcontent item / category views" - should I be able to see these on the backend/front end of Flexicontent, or did I misunderstand ?

Hello

In v3.2.0,
- we added support for these fields in FLEXIcontent item form
- also they will be shown in frontend FLEXIcontent item / category view

but i made a wrong assumption about Joomla native fields
that they can be used in categories
i see now that they did not implement this

Try in a Joomla installation that does not have FLEXIcontent
you will see that fields can be used only inside articles / contacts / newsfeeds / etc
but they can not be used inside their categories ! (you can not use fields in category form)

Maybe I don't understand. Here is a fresh Joomla install using category fields (ad 1 image, ad 2 image, ad 1 url and ad 2 url) in category blog layout menu item:
your-portland.com/index.php/mary-s-category-category-blog

For me native field are beginner
no multi value
No file field
No image field
No ordering by field
Need to code for display
Need to paid for filter
