I've got a lot of elements in my theme and there will be more in the future. Some of the elements will be used more than others by the end-user though. Elements like 'image' and 'text'. When those elements are high up in the sidebar, it's easier to use for end-users.
Automatic refresh page when saving theme file (Harmen Fuite)
When you save a theme i would like to see the page automatic refreshing. This would be a lot easier in stead of refresh it by yourself every time.
Ability to see in media library if a image is linked to a field (David Hakkert)
Description
When you open the image library it would be nice to see if a image is linked to a content field or not by a 'simple' link icon in the corner.
example: I build a website with a lot of test images and logo's. When the site is done I want to clean up the library by removing images I haven't used in the final product, but I have no clue which images I've used in the end. A link icon in the corner of every linked image would help me to remove all images that don't have a link icon, to clean up the library.
Importance
It would make it easier to build sites and to keep things clean.
img_url filter extra attribute to prevent image upscaling/upsizing (Edwin Bos)
Take for example this image:
| Code Block |
|---|
<img src="{{ employee.image | img_url: 500 }}" /> |
When a user uploads an image of only 400px wide, the image get's upscaled.
Perhaps an extra attribute "no_upscale" like this:
| Code Block |
|---|
<img src="{{ employee.image | img_url: 500, no_upscale: true }}" /> |
Automatisch secties toevoegen na toevoegen post (Edwin Bos)
Dit is het scenario waarin het handig zou zijn:
Elke pagina heeft een header, die bestaat uit het menu, logo, een achtergrondafbeelding en een stuk tekst.
Per pagina is de achtergrondafbeelding en de tekst aanpasbaar, daarom is een tray geen optie (corrigeer me als ik het mis heb).
Daarom heb ik dus een sectie "Pagina header" aangemaakt, op die manier is het aanpasbaar per pagina.
Het enige nadeel is: na het aanmaken van een post moet je zelf handmatig de "Pagina header" sectie toevoegen.
Het zou in dit geval dus mooi zijn als je bijvoorbeeld per post aan kunt geven welke secties er standaard toegevoegd worden na het aanmaken van een post.
En als bovenstaande al op te lossen middels reeds bestaande technieken, dan hoor ik dat natuurlijk graag!
Adjust connections between pages that are available in multiple languages
Description
As a site admin I want an overview of the connections between pages that are available in different languages and the option to adjust the connections.
For example:
If I add the page 'over ons' and duplicate it to English as 'about us', there is no way to see that these pages are connected. When I change the content of the page 'about us' to 'our mission' and after a while I add a new 'about us' page, I can't reconnect 'over ons' to the new 'about us' page. It's connected to 'our mission' and I have to delete the 'over ons' page and the new 'about us' page and make them again to re-establish the connection.
Importance
We have a client with this problem. When multiple users work on the same site, it is unavoidable that the situation as shown in the example will arise. It's a lot of work and very frustrating to delete pages and make them again because there's no way to adjust the connection between pages. In our opinion it's an essential requirement for this function.
Translated form error messages
A form error message right now looks like this: "Subject moet worden opgegeven."
I'd like to change that on my English website.
Add content in dashboard
Description
When an end user needs to add a lot of content, it's more convenient to have a list view of the content and add it in the dashboard.
Importance
It's key to add content in a convenient way, otherwise the end user will get frustrated.
Export website configurations
I made a 'custom' theme instead of a public theme. I made a new website to become the staging option because custom doesn't allow the same flexibility of a public one.
I'm missing a feature to export all configurations and import them back to a giving theme. If you can select which content types you can export you can even share some configs for other theme builders.
Cheers!
Search function in frontend sidebar for content types
Description
A search bar with real time filtering when typing (Ajax), above the list of content types in the sidebar. When you click the 'add element' button, the sidebar opens and the search bar is automatically focused, so you can start typing instantly. When you type, the content types disappear that doesn't correspond with the search term. When you don't want to search, you could still scroll.
Importance
Some sites have a lot of content types. When you know which one you need, you still need to scroll and search for the content type. It would be much easier and more user friendly to have a search bar filtering the content types.
Automatically remove sites that aren't being used
Description
When a site is made, it should be automatically removed after a certain amount of time when the website hasn't been made live.
Optionally, there could be a automatic mail notification to notify when your site is being removed. If the user doesn't want this, they can click a link to extend the period of time the website is saved.
Importance
This would clean up the dashboard a lot :)
Select multiple check marks by using a hotkey
For example with form messages on your Plate dashboard. You now have to select al the check marks one by one. It would be great if you can hold the shift key and select 1-30 or other ranges.
Duplicate elements
Description
I would like to see that's possible to duplicate a element. Like a youtube video. You duplicate the youtube video and you only have to paste it in stead of copy the link adjust the height and the width etc.
Importance
It's a lot more easier if you have a big element which takes a lot time to make. You only have to copy it and you paste it on the page you want!
