Support/Comments for [PLUGIN] Customize Manager Fields

Hi Dimmy,

here are the required files:

1/ actions/mutate_content.dynamic.php
2/media/style/MODxLight/style.css)

just replace the old ones by those attached here.

unfortunately, I haven’t found any method to achieve the same result withou hacking the core.
that would be quite hard to produce the same effect with a plugin

the code can certainly be improved I ’ve done this a long time ago

:-)

thanks is this one still working for 0.9.6? or should I compare and look at your changes?

the tweaked files are based on the latest 0.9.6.

So you can use them as they are.

Excellent thank you so much
I vote yes for implementation in the core!

How did I miss that

I’ll give a look to the files !
This is really a great idea and would be a great UI improvement

It HAS to make it into 0.9.7 !!!

Hi folks,

I’ve forgotten to remove one print_r in the modified files.
It’s line 1236: you just have to comment the line
// print_r($replace_richtexteditor);

Inspired by this plugin, I’ve just posted a new plugin to the repository called ManagerManager.

It’s main improvements are:

• a consistent API (no more manually tracking down the correct javascript path for a particular field -- it’s done for you)
• eliminates the "flash" of all fields before they are hidden/changed
• apply rules by role AND template, which makes it even more flexible.
• adds more features -- e.g. rename / hide fields and tabs
• create new tabs, and move any field to any tab
• mostly works with template variables too
• inherit any text field value from parent
• link fields together (e.g. if longtitle should always be the same as menutitle)
  
• and probably more...

It doesn’t have a GUI -- you create the rules via the plugin code in the manager (if this feature will be available anyway in 0.9.7 we don’t want to spend too much time developing it).

We’ve tested on a few sites internally, and ironed out a lot of bugs already, but would appreciate anyone else testing it out.

A little late to the ManagerManager party, but wow, that’s cool. Way to go.
