Items Manager - ver: 1.4

[mikeh]

In version 1.3 I have made it possible to choose a category for custom fields. The custom fields that have a category are only shown on that specific page in the edit/add page area.

However, I am unsure of the best way to handle this for the results and details pages.
Any suggestions?

that's great; will make data entry easier in the backend;

as far as the details page, perhaps the ability to specify a details page per category would solve that, since you could then make a different template for each category details page.

and for the results page, maybe the same sort of thing i.e. instead of entering the results page code in the settings, you would create a template and select that template for the specified results page, for that category.
then you would create a different results page for each category with their unique set of fields and layout...

i'm thinking that categories more in the sense of apps, and then use tags to sort items within a given category..
so i would be able to do a news category and a discography category, both with the items manager...

I agree with your details page suggestions. That will work fine.
However, with the results page, I am not aware of an easy way to use a template file solely to display the results.
