Allow nesting of fluid fields, or allow fluids inside a grid
Feature Requests
We need a way to allow a “page builder” type layout for our clients. Right now it’s not easy to create dynamic pages that could have different layouts like a full width, 8/4, 6/6 type layout and allow client to choose any number of widgets they want inside each column. If we could nest fluid fields we could do this… or if we could have a grid field that allows fluid fields within that we could do it.
I know there’s an add-on called bloqs but that’s $100 and is what EE needs to integrate by default to compete with wordpress and other higher end CMS that give a page builder type feel.
Howdy Pelluche,
Thanks for getting in touch about this.
You might already be aware, but as of version 7.3.0 you can assign a field group to a fluid field, this is currently a very common approach to building out with a page builder approach.
People will often combo several different fluid fields using a field group for each component, with a Selectable Buttons field type with conditional fields to show and hide the fluid fields for a specific “type” of page.
Cheers,
