So you ever wanted to make a specifications list that has 100+ items in it? But don’t want to make 100 custom fields. Fielder is your choice then.
Fielder enables you to make mass custom fields without using traditional ExpressionEngine Custom Fields.
As we all know having 100+ custom fields will slow things down, because each EE custom field creates a new column in the entries table and all MYSQL guru’s know that the more you have the slower things become. And your also limited to around 250 columns anyway, so you could only have 250 custom fields orso. Fielder does not have this limitation it stores each field in it’s own row (not column) and the field data is stored in it’s own table. So it’s always snappy!
Features
* Mass custom fields creation
* Uses it’s own table for custom fields
* Offloads the process of mass custom fields from the standard entries table
* Supports custom fields sorting with AJAX/jQuery magic
* Fielder Field Groups (Sets)
* Supports all types of input fields: Text / Radio / Checkbox / Drop-Down / Multi-Select / Textarea
* Multiple Fielder Sets on one Fielder Custom Field
* Optional Unit property per field
* Importing of regular Custom Fields (aka convert custom fields to Fielder Fields)
* Importing conditionals
I don’t have a SAEF function yet but it’s on my roadmap.
As far as importing entries depends on how you import it.
I am working now on a Custom Field to Fielder Field converter that can convert your old custom fields to Fielder fields.
I have a project that this would fit, but need to know if Fielder is supported by EE search. Upon initial testing it appears that it does not.
No currently it does not support EE search.
Is there a Fielder search feature or do you plan on supporting EE search in future releases?
I will make a search feature but i cannot incorporate it into the EE search since Ellislab has zero hooks in there (what a shame). So the fielder search would be a separate search.
I currently have a 1.6.4 EE setup with a ton of plug-ins, modules and extensions running. So, after I installed the fielder extension, I got this error. I currently don’t have the time to figure out what extension clash is causing it, so I removed the fielder. So I have to leave it for now.
Hi I’m evaluating your add-on for use on a corporate website, We’d love to donate to you for your work, however your module is throwing several errors.
These errors show up when trying to edit a field. First thought it was a bug in the SQL table row for the default group. Removed the default group and errors still appear. The edit form has failed to populate with data.
