ryan Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Introducing ProcessWire ProFields: Table – it lets you literally define your own Fieldtype! This is one of the most exciting ProFields and it's something very different than any other Fieldtypes. I think it is best described by this screencast (be sure your sound is on): Special thanks to Joss for his great voiceover on this screencast. Please view the video at 720p and full screen if possible. Read more about the Table Field Table is part of the ProcessWire ProFields package now available for purchase in the ProcessWire store. 29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 It's possible to use TextLanguage Fields in Table definition? This is not possible, as fields in the Table represent literal fields in a MySQL database table, not ProcessWire fieldtypes. For instance, when you define a radio buttons or select input in your table, you are literally defining a MySQL ENUM field. And when you define a checkboxes input, you are literally defining a MySQL SET field. In this sense, the Table field is incredibly efficient and fast, as there's really no middle layer between your content and the database table. However, if you need multi-language text fields, you'd want the flexibility of either Repeaters, or the new PageTable field (now available for free on the dev branch). When is this available? I'm too excited. Joss needs to re-record the other videos. All the ProFields are available as of this morning in the ProcessWire store. I agree regarding Joss's voiceover. He heard my other pirate voiceovers and basically said: "step aside son, let me show you how this is done." I wrote a rough script and sent it to him. 30 minutes later, he replied with a voiceover that had everything in the script but majorly improved and with SO much more good stuff. All the funny lines are all Joss. My favorite is the "chuck 'em overboard to let the porpoises nibble on 'em." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzyweb Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Looks very useful. I just looked at the terms and saw the following 'If you are purchasing ProFields on behalf of a particular client (rather than yourself), then the license extends only to the client.' Can you clarify what this means? Can I not use them when building clients sites with my licence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 'If you are purchasing ProFields on behalf of a particular client (rather than yourself), then the license extends only to the client.' Can you clarify what this means? Can I not use them when building clients sites with my licence? Sorry, I will try to word that better. What it means is that that the license to create new installations goes to the purchaser. If it's purchased on a client's credit card, then they are the purchaser. If you pay for it, then you are the purchaser. The purchaser can put it on any sites that they design/develop (whether for themselves or their clients). If you want to mark it up and charge the client for it, that's fine. It's just that when you buy a product in the store, you are buying support of the product, so we have to know who is the person that gets support. That's all it is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzyweb Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 The contents of what ProFields contains may change over time. New modules may be occasionally added to the ProFields package. If within your support and upgrades period, those modules will be free for you to download. As new modules are added to ProFields, existing modules may be released publicly (open source/free). However, the modules will always be supported through the ProFields support board. Really pleased to see this on the product page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwired Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 it lets you literally define your own Fieldtype! When you purchase ProFields, you get all 4 modules and you can use them on as many sites as you like, for as long as you like! Wow, I like those 2 lines. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Wow, I like those 2 lines. ProFields just comes in 1 edition, unlike FormBuilder and ProCache which come in either: Single, Professional, Developer or Agency editions. The ProFields edition is the equivalent of the Developer edition of FormBuilder and ProCache, in that you can use it in as many sites as you develop, for as long as you want to. I figured there wasn't much point to having individual site licenses with a multi-module package because chances are you won't use them all together on one site. It's more likely that folks will use one or some of the ProFields on some sites, and others on other sites. We want it to be a toolbox you've always got available to you when you need it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxndre Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I'm starting to think we should replace the Skyscrapers demo with this Pirates version. Although personally, I like ryan's original piratey voiceovers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterfoeng Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hi Ryan, Is this a replacement for the repeater fieldtype? somehow I guess Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten Baldes Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 This looks sooo great! Will it be possible to use an image upload field as a field in Profields Table? Would be great for building custom lightweight galleries. I'm using repeater for this right now, but the performance goes down with every new row i add. Thanks!

apeisa Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 tobaco: nope, but you can use new PageTable for that (that's in core - dev branch). It will be much faster than repeater, since it doesn't have to load all the information to a single page. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten Baldes Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 @apeisa oh, thought it is the same as ProFields: Table … is there any documentation for PageTable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apeisa Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Nope, not yet. I am pretty sure there will be documentation before 2.5 is released. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
