Clone/add existing custom field

[muco]

Hi guys,

let's assume I'm developing a site (custom theme with custom fields) for my customer, where he can list any articles. For example: Article1 -> item1, item2, item3, item4, etc... Each item is a textfield. 

Now if I want to add a new item, in this example item5, then I have to clone an existing field in the admin panel and also add this field to pagefile with PHP. If there would be 100 items, do I really have to clone an existing field and add this field to PHP code everytime? 

But my main question is: if my customer want's to add a new item (on the admin panel with own user), is there a way that he can clone an existing field (item) and edit the text inside and publish this field on the site, without customizing with PHP?

You could make use of the repeater field to achieve this. You simply create the repeater and assign it the fields in questions, and the customer could add them quite easily.

Example 

<?php
	foreach($page->articles as $article) {
		echo $article->some_field;
	}
?>

There's Multipler Module from @ryan's Profields pack, which will help you a lot and change the way you develop PW. It is a commercial module, but you get to use it on any website once you buy it.
