Hiding Fields in FLEXIcontent

I have been reading this:

magazine.joomla.org/issues/issue ... t-template

So - I had some ideas about hiding fields when entering items using CSS such as:

+ Language - the site I am designing is one language - so let's hide it
+ Featured - we don't use it
+ Compatibility - I always use FLEXIcontent - why do I need compatibility?
+ Icons - nope
+ Keywords - no search engine uses it
+ Tags - don't use

To implement:
1. In file:
administrator/components/com_flexicontent/assets/css/flexicontenbackend.css

add a line:
I also modified the
administrator/components/com_flexicontent/views/item/tmpl/default.php file - so I could call css classes.

2. upload the css file in the zip to the same directories.

3. the code is commented with what is removed - so you can change it all you like - I haven't fully tested it - but it seems ok.

Finally when you create template files everybody should be using html5 - so change in your xml file to type hidden.

I am sure there is a better way to do this - but this seems quick.

Cheers,

Robert

good idea i have some idea about this => create a light mode with specific template
your modification is cool but not compatible with upgrade
=> use override option
administrator/template/isis/html/com_flexicontent/item
and create your default.php + your css
all will be good !

Hello

in r1932 and more in r1955

you (via frontend item form configuration and content type ACL/params) can hide (or appear as locked disabled)
- language
- categories
- tags
- some icons
- Featured (in component params)
- compatibility TAB (disabled backend redirection in for Super Admins in advanced Route plugin and visit Joomla article manager "Options" to disable images and icons)

this is my proposition for lighter admin (items and item view)

usage :
in your template admin in html folder
upload this content

need more work on css but it will be good
waiting your return

Hi Micker,

Thanks for this - I think its clearer and simpler. I also love your new admin module.

My only suggestion for the search would be to give it the option of search all - its a powerful feature.

I also think we need a universal clear. Something like this:
awesomescreenshot.com/0863hzqjaa

I will have a look in the next week and give my design of it.

My new favorite feature in FLEXIcontent is the ability to set categories for item type - I just discovered this today.

The items left on my FLEXIcontent wishlist are:

+ a way to automatically add items to menu to a category - I am using nonumber add to menu - but clients sometimes struggle.

+ Modular content blocks - something where clients can add a block (Idea: www.newfangled.com/the-way-you- ... to-change/ ) eg image, a quote, a gallery:

+ madebymany.github.io/sir-trevor-js/example.html
+ buildwithcraft.com/

JCEditor is too limiting/complicated when you try to let clients do responsive design.

Cheers,


Robert

thanks for your returns

i think i will try to dev a expert/lite mode
ex :
1 top right a radio button expert/default mode
2 switch to default.php liteview.php
3 a message in editing view to save item if we switch

but actualy need to dev more about checking if site is multilangue to display langue and translating group in lite mode...

what do you think ?

Hi Micker,

I have redesigned FLEXIcontent Administrator using bootstrap (as much as I can) - but have some issues.

Once - I solve it I will send it to you:

Here's the dashboard:

I think I will put it into a administrator template for upload might be easiest which I am doing now.

Regards,

Robert

Hello

please upgrade to v2.2.0 r1974 RC

it fixes almost all reported issues that we verified that they exist,

e.g. the issues with our new SEF URL routing code (route.php)
e.g. the issue with wrong download link due to new UTF-8 filenames

and
e.g. new show no access message


We will be moving to GitHub so you may contribute there

(backend CSS was revised but e.g. re-writing the route.php was a lot of work), component and its extensions is really large, so there is a lot of areas to work on

Regards
