Hello, I posted this in another topic but realized it should have been here so I am posting this question in the right place,
I am wondering if it’s possible to create a custom resource UI. I am currently writing a snippet that will output a series of featured product div blocks for the homepage. Each item needs a Title, Description, Image, Start Date, End Date and Publish[bool]. I know I can create new resource with the necessary TVs as a child of my homepage then make a snippet call on the layout passing the parentID that it would use to output the children formatted how I need them; But I would like to have it so when a user creates a new "featured resource" the unnecessary fields like menu name and the editor are hidden. Exactly like the Weblink, maybe even to the extent it’s in the left pane as a icon and right click item. Is this possible?

Depending on how many featured resources you will have, I’ve been having great fun using Jot as an editor for menus (restaurant menus, that is), quotes, events, and any other simple lists where you want a very simple interface for your users. Manager users can add/edit/delete items, so it’s working out just fine. For more complex structures, I’ve started working with PubKit, and other than its hard-coded required fields it is also a nice tool to keep handy.
To keep life simple for the client, I’ve got a snippet that detects if they’re a logged-in manager user and displays a link in the footer that leads to an "admin" page, unpublished so nobody else can ever see it, with links to the various front-end management pages. The client manager users are all configured with that admin page as their login page, and denied access to the Manager. This way they also get access to QuickManager, which is heavily configured to limit access as well.
Awesome thanks, I will look into them.
