You are coming from Seblod CCK? You have seen a field that is not found in Cobalt? You have an idea to customize a Cobalt field with a similar functionality or input/output template? Please, post here with title, purpose, short description and screenshots ;-)

( PS: please, keep the topic clean and readable. It might become very long. I would suggest to have only 1 first level comment per field/idea. All answers and thoughts in 2nd level. TIA )

-The author field i love it; it display several informations in records ex : name, surname, 1 or several categories links (my personal home page, my blog), a short description (extract from personal homepage), his others topics (but that cobalt's records field does too), it is going to improved for seblod 3

FIELD TYPO

A field to add html and include other fields

(Actually this isn't a field, but an option in field settings)

$cck->getValue('my_field');

$cck->getValue('my_first_field_price'); $cck->getValue('my_second_field_price_format');

Purpose

More control over output without custom templating

FIELD CONCAT

Concatenate any amount of fields into one value.

[Comment by user]||$userid||[on]||$date

Will result in the value

'Comment by user 42 on 2011-08-24'

Very powerful! I even used it to trigger and tweak third party plugins.

My second thought: Cobalt has already a similar feature for article titles "Composite title mask". Is it possible to activate this cool feature on a certain field type? Maybe Text field? Maybe optional to prevent any performance issues... if there are any. It seems the data is already in memory, so no additonal queries...

@Sergey

Any thoughts or comments on this?

In general, is it possible to use this [FIELD-ID-PLACEHOLDER] feature in other places like title? Maybe where [ID], [USER-ID], [AUTHOR] are used? i.e. custom SQL parameter

This is too uncertain. If you have exact use case and field, we can think what у can add. Because I am not sure what is practical application for [ID] field value in SQL query.
