Hello klox7,

I think most of it can be achieved with Records field. Although it is "limited" to record full view, it is most likely the location where you would place a module anyway.

Also the Records module got some new interesting parameters.

The date range is a nice idea.

Hello,

Oh, great, never used records field so let's give it a try.

pepperstreet it is most likely the location where you would place a module anyway.

Homepage would also be nice so user have some personalised guidance on what to view. Records field options should also be in records module.

klox7 Records field options should also be in records module.

Agree. I have made similar requests and comments in the past ;) Some things have been improved and added.

I guess, the field has more options because of performance, better context and the accessible data i.e. author, viewer and current record fields.

Do you think I could do this with "Render an individual field"? Like put it in module but on the same page as record?

Sorry? (lost in translation)

Yes you can render an individual field in a module.

1. Create a custom record template to mimic the module positions of your site template.
2. Use NoNumber's ReReplacer

Using NN ReReplacer

1. Create two replacement rules

Search: \{moduletext\}(.*?)\{/moduletext\}(.*?)\{placeholdertext\} Replace: \2\1

Search: {placeholdertext} Replace: Leave this empty

2. In your record template: insert the fields to show in the module between the {moduletext} and {/moduletext} tags

{moduletext}
    Your code here
{/moduletext}

3. Create e new Custom HTML module and insert {placeholdertxt} in the html area.
4. Assign a template position to this module.
5. Done!

One minor drawback though. You can't use module positions that are assigned before the main component position.

So if you have a sidebar-left position or a main-top position which are rendered before the main component position, you can't use those.

Are you talking about layout? You want to position the Records field in a sidebar position?

Since you are on a record full view, I would recommend to build a custom record template:
Just add your custom column(s)...
Place/call your specific field(s)...
Remember to unset them from the ususal field loop, if you still use it.

Yes...

Exactly my situation.

You 2 thanks for suggestions but since I'm already near production I won't change my code at the moment.

Don't know your site and record page layout... but you could also achieve a different positioning and look with pure CSS. i.e. set record field position to "absolute" top and left/right etc.

Not best practice, but sometimes useful.
