Creating a list of things (not users)

Hey Guys,

Just after some direction. If I wanted to create a TAB that contained a list of things (lets say "Favorite Movies") and I wanted the user to be able to add their own collection (searchable by other users) can this be done without writing a plugin?


I know the fields I want (e.g. Picture, Title, Rating)
I want it to look like the "Blogs" tab. A button for new item with a table containing their items.

I think I know the answer. I cant code! Perhaps a nice simple visual editor in CB 2.0 would make life easier

No, not currently. That's called a repeating field, which we should have available in CB 2.1 once frontend is XML driven. For now it would take a custom plugin similar to CB Blogs to handle this. Alternative is making multiple sets of your fields over and over, conditioning them using CB Conditional to show based off a dropdown value, then formatting their output into a table using delimiter field.

Thanks Kyle, really appreciate your response!!! Hurry up and wait I guess.

Alternative will be find a coder to help in the mean time

You maybe able to use a 3rd party extension that'll let your users create lists of items then display them on profile using a CB Query Field. I'm not sure what extension you'd use to do this, but there might be something on Joomla.org extension directory.
