This is a small helper tool to visually organise fields/templates into folders in the menu when they are tagged.

This is a simple module that can help you declutter your templates/fields menu by organising them in folders using tags. I initially envisionned this module to be used for cases where fields and/or templates were created by modules and thus not polute the ones created by the user.

Really nice module! Just tried it and it works great and really improves the UI/UX. Thx for sharing ?

Great module @monollonom. Really pleased to have discovered it recently. Now if only we could do the same for the fields dropdown on the template edit page....

[monollonom]

@MarkE are you saying something like this?

Unfortunately it’s not possible as there aren’t any hooks for this part (L1215-1222 in ProcessTemplate.module) but it could be a feature request for @ryan?

Wouldn't it be better to use InputfieldTextTags instead of the boring select field? That has search capabilities already and when having a lot of fields typing is for sure faster than browsing with the mouse ? Fields could still be prefixed with the tag, for example something like [RockCommerce] Price

[monollonom]

But then you lose the ability to contextually edit the field or set the column width, though I agree InputfieldTextTags has a great UX and I try to use it whenever I can. There could be an equivalent to InputfieldPageAutocomplete for fields but I always feel it’s way slower than text tags...

[bernhard]

Yeah I'm only talking about the selection part. The field would then obviously be added to the list as normal, not listed as tags inside the inputfield.

... well, more like the indented (conditional) dropdown in the setup menu, otherwise you still have lots of scrolling. TextTags also saves lots of scrolling, as @bernhardsays. Needs a bit more though before making a feature request. BTW @monollonom, I think your module should be in the core!

Maybe the best quick solution is to install SelectizeAll by @Robin S
