Joomla Native custom fields
Declined
Hello there,
Since Joomla 3.7 we can add custom fields to our components. There are a LOT of options actually as you can see in the following link.
https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Adding_custom_fields
I think that it will be better to use tha Joomla function for "extra fielads" than yours. There are a lot fields that you dont have like Date and Color which are VERY helpfull to a sport site.
Thanks in advance
Hi Savvas,
Thank you for your suggestion but can you please provide more use cases?
Usage of such fields in sport is very specific. Displaying simple data in extra field really gives no benefit. Let me explain.
For example lets' take "date" type field. It should be used to count players age or displaying birthday in fact. So configuration should be like this:
Simple display of the date doesn't bring much benefit.
For color extra field it might be used to put colors on different items of the statistic . For example we can change color of match statistic bars for this team, or some background on the team page, etc. There is no benefit for displaying simple color box for the team.
So I believe such fields should be pre-configured in specific way in product and displayed in right format on front pages rather then display of simple item that you enter.
