creating a li with PW

[lecrackffm]

Hello,

im porting my first static site to PW and still trying to get my head around all the options and logics..maybe you can help out.

I have a simple list (ul>li) of Names on the page, which i want my client to alter at any time.

Right now, the only option i see is to create a textfield with the CKEditor.

Is there a more more straight foreword way to accomplish this, like creating one field in which my client can put comma separated names, and i loop through this field in the template?

I tried to find something like this in the cheatsheet but im still struggling with all the options.

Thanks for your help.

I got it.

The Repeater i just installed does the job.

But im still open to other ways to accomplish that,  just for getting to know PW better.

Thanks

Maybe just a textarea plus "TextformatterNewlineUL", which »converts newlines to <li> list items and surrounds in an <ul> unordered list«?

Thank you, thats a good advice.

Also the profields multiplier seems good for this kind of task, right?

A repeater will work, but it's sort of overkill for repeating just a single line of text. Behind the scenes it is creating a page for every line.

This is probably the way to go.

If you wanted your own custom markup you could explode and foreach a textarea.

$lines = explode("\n", $page->my_textarea);
if(count($lines)) {
    echo "<ul class='my-special-list'>";
    foreach($lines as $line) {
        echo "<li class='my-list-item'>$line</li>";
    }
    echo "</ul>";
}

For sure, and for more complex repeatable items see the Table fieldtype.

@Robin S thank you for the explanation.
