Title: Custom fields support
Post by: asimako on December 22, 2021, 16:25:38

I would like to ask you if it's possible to create custom field content via Elxis CMS. I have used that feature a lot via Craft CMS (https://craftcms.com/docs/3.x/fields.html#field-types) and i would be
interested to jump off to a more open source option. The reason is that i have to pay a fee per Project (https://craftcms.com/pricing) in order to get full security features and other stuff too.

Is there any extension or 3rd party component that could assist me?

Regards

For such purposes there are the extensions called plugins which can customize parts of an article or even generate a totally custom layout. In order to guide you properly I need you to tell me what exactly you want to do.

I would like to create custom content that could be stored in database and to be related with another custom content.

For example I want to store in the database via table a list of movies with several fields such title, reviews, plot, trailer, release date, poster, producer and via multiple select list to relate it with a list of actors. The actor would be stored in another table via name, surname, date of birth, photo, bio, etc. All that information would be configurable via CRUD in the admin part and via filters and of course to be displayed in the front end via login.
Additionally I want to search that content in the front end via elastic search or algolia or Amazon search and display it via custom template to the login users.
