      • Template generator

        I would like to see a 'Template Generator' which can edit existing templates, but also to create new (custom) templates within the Fabrik framework.
        This would give this application a high value - specially for end users.

        • more tutorials

          Hi,

          That will be cool if you make a tutorial How to make a signup form using Fabrik (joomla basic, using CB, using AEC, using Virtumart).

          Another good tutorial How to make a Business Directory similar to Sobi but using Fabrik.

          Thanks

          • Show fields (not just labels) on read-only forms

            http://fabrikar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11106

            It really creates problems for custom templates, given the spacing issues that arise when no greyed out fields are displayed, just the labels...looks for professional with the fields, so you see the form...a WYSWYG form, so to speak. ;)

                  • Displaing Data On Webpage Coming From Multiple Database Table and/or DB connections.

                    I'm thinking to something like this: I have more tables coming from the same or different database, even databases from different connections; I want to get a web page displaing data from an advanced search like system where I may select any field from any table belonging to any databases as above to produce data to display in a webpage.

                    • Create/view/Edit permisions on each Fabrik Element

                      I have an application where guests are allowed to create new records, and browse existing records in the table.

                      What I would like is to allow guests to capture their email addresses when creating a new record, but not allow guests to see the email address in the table or form view. Administrators should of course be able to view/edit/create the email address field

                      I don't think this is currently possible.

                      I think you would need to add Create, Edit,View permissions for each fabrik element and allow for each of those actions to set one of the ACL roles. The… more

                        • Clear field

                          It is very necessary to hidde a field. Example: hide and clear. Because if you just hide the field and there was a value, this value will be saved in the tabel.

                          I hope this will be done in the next time, as it is very neccessary

                          • Record Versioning

                            With the ability to edit a record open to a wide audience, it would be nice to be able to recover from either a malicious edit, or simply an incorrect edit, by reverting to a prior version of the table row.

                            If you think about the way a Wiki works, the past versions of the definition are available so that changes can be rolled back to any prior version of the record.

                            This may need to be a privileged function as well - available only to a specific user level.

                              ok so I've created a table that link to another child table (related data link) now let say I then create/edit a couple of records on this child table, then how can I get back to the parent table listing(beside making like 20 clicks on the back button)?

                              It will be very interesting to be able to add a link to the parent table of a related data table.

                              • Time input field

                                I love the date and time input fields, but there's one thing missing that I think could be very useful.

                                The field's options allow us to have only the date or both the date and the time, but there's no option (that I could find) to have only the time. I don't this would be a big effort and it'd be pretty useful.

                                If you guys need any help just let me know and I'll do my best.

                                    2. Alternative: special option to make a group display joined table inline in the form/detail view. And also add data there inside the form.

                                    3. Alternative: special template where repeating groups are forced to display as tables. I even made one by myself :-) There is needed one additional php file that is loaded if group can repeat. But I… more

                                      Fabrik is really great, but a little bit slow when opening a new form or a table. Could be interesting to have a better response time

                                        • large dropdown - a comma delimited entry

                                          Imagine having a dropdown of all world states or languages! In present way it is almost crazy to add them manually. I'm proposing adding an text area where we can use a comma delimited text as an dropdown entry. Even better we could copy paste such data in text-area.

                                          • One more ACL level for Elements

                                            As talked about in this thread: http://fabrikar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10644 (but with incorrect terminology at first), I think it would be great to have one more ACL for elements.

                                            Right now, there is a choice of setting the Access level for a read-only version of the element in edit mode. My request is to add another option for completely hiding it in edit-mode (based on user level) as a separate option then hiding it completely from both edit and detail views. This way it would be possible to display in detail view, but be completely hidden in edit view for users without permission.

                                            more
