Hello ToolSet Support,
Your support staff has been extremely helpful and your Plugins are marvelous!
I'm very glad to have purchased the ToolSet.

There's certain feature that I've been trying way too hard to accomplish for a few months now but haven't been successful.
I was so relief to know that this feature is already in your coming updates, the sad part is that I don't know when that would be and it seams that it's a bit far out.

I would like to offer $100 US dollars if you could expedite this feature on your very next updates.

The feature I'm trying to achieve is briefly described in this support ticket I submitted:

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/adding-a-group-of-custom-fields-with-one-button/

I would be happy to let you know more details since now I have a better understanding of how to explain it.
Basically the feature would be compatible with CRED, VIEWS, LAYOUTS and of course TYPES.

Please let me know if you could support this feature promptly, I would be so grateful!
Looking forward to a positive response from you.

Thank you so much again for creating such Magical Plugins!
They are the best I EVER purchased!

The Many to Many release already exists in Types (we have had a beta of this a while ago)
This beta is not available anymore but soon another beta with more integration in the rest of Toolset will be provided.

Now, related to the request you mention, I am not sure Christian got this right, or maybe I get it wrong.

I think you have a repeating Field and want to upload lets say 10 images at once, and that should create all the repeating field's instances.

Right?

Well, that cannot be solved by a many to many feature as Christian Describes, it needs another feature, that I also already filed.
It goes along with implementing the native WordPress media Uploader in CRED Forms.
This is even partially done already, but for your specific request this needs several more working hours and days.

Is this exactly the feature you require?

Thank you so much for your reply Beda.
No, that is not what I'm trying to achieve.

Please take a look at the following perfect example:

NOTE:
As of now, this just looks how is supposed to look on the CRED form but it DOES NOT function...

Please see the attached screenshots in the order of #1 to #6 with my notes on it, they better illustrate what is the goal.

Thanks again, I appreciate you looking in to this.

#588772

I need log in details to see that page.
I enabled a private reply so you can submit them.

But I will not need them I think. I understand the request and doubt this will be possible all within one screen and action.

This will probably require at least to save one parent post and then, add the Child posts each with repeating fields, so you can have repeating groups of repeating fields.

But you cannot add this natively as you show in the screenshot.
Instead each repeating child post field group should be added one by one.

I will let a developer confirm this as I am not 100% sure if we will add some AJAX mechanisms to allow what you show me.

The developers will be back Monday and I will leave a note for them.
But it might be that the reply comes only Tuesday as I get my weekend on Sunday and Monday.

Thank you for your patience.

#588834

Thanks again Beta,

Please let me give you access to the site.

Your developer could probably save time using the code in my site.

#589446

The Developer was busy... developing. But he will look at this ASAP.

Yes, Access to the site can of course help.

I activated a private reply, please also mention what to look at, and what to do or not to do on the site.

Thank you!

#589834

I have greta news.

This will be considered, but not added in the first official release of CRED and it's Many To Many implementations.
It will be added in a future release, but is fully accepted - hence it will be deployed.

Thank you for the patience.

#590540

Great, thanks.

I shared these details with the Developer and if they require they'll log in and look around (only).

I cannot state any ETA on features like this.
Fact is it won't be in the first Many To Many Release of CRED.

This means it is surely a question of months and not days. Such features require a lot of time and even if a Development cycle might go only a few weeks, it follows the QA, and then only we can release.
Also often we will get some bug reports that need to be prioritized, which can slow down feature development a little.

You will definitely get notified through our ChangeLog once this is released.

We can close this ticket here if you wish.

Thank you!

Thank you Beda, sorry for the late response.

The visual is now functioning, please take a look here:

Probably it's not too much for you but if my contribution is of any help, I would still like to offer $100 for prioritizing the development of this feature.

#593944

Thank you!

Unfortunately I cannot accept this offer, as much I would like to push this features as well.
Please rest assured that this feature is in development at full speed, and we do focus on a early release (but of course a safe and tested one).
Still, this requires time.

Thank you very much for the offer and trust in Toolset!

#594073

Thank you Beda, I really appreciate your feedback on this.
How about, I temporarily use an early beta release until the feature becomes official?
What would be considered as an acceptable offer?

#594320

What I can send you theoretically is the Beta-1 that was online for a while.
But that Plugin CANNOT be used with the rest of Toolset - not yet.

Also I am technically not allowed to do that and would first really need to ask for permission from above.
Second, it wouldn't help you a lot because well, in that Types version only the Types features are implemented, you cannot yet display or submit those things with Toolset.

The next version is due soon, I cannot state an exact ETA, but we will release the new versions soon, so yo can then test all this with working versions of the plugins.

Is this OK for you?

#594431

Ok, if the Beta-1 would not be compatible with all other plugins it wouldn't do much good.
I guess soon should be ok, even though "soon" might be very relative.
I'll just have to hang in here looking out for the update.
Thank you so much Beda!

#594693

Soon is relative, yes.

But... you should be able to use Types and Views in a beta-2 version.
Very soon.

#594823

Ok, well thank you ever so much again Beda! ..

I guess compatibility with CRED would be a bit longer then soon?
