The add-on I've been waiting for...

drbiskit
This is exactly the functionality I have always wanted ever since starting to use C5. It fills in the gaps with the (very excellent + free) Designer content add-on in the way that it allows easy creation and management of multiple repeated elements in a single block. The UI is clean, + beautiful in it's simplicity. The price tag is worth every penny, as it will save me a huge amount of development time.

Really, very, very, good.

Exactly What I Needed!

I have limited developing experience and was looking for a way to create an easy interface for adding FoxyCart products. This add-on was exactly what I needed to allow the non-coders in my office to add and edit products. Thanks!

Dudes. Out of the park once again.

I was looking for some way to NOT have to write my own FAQ block on a small budget site, and then I remembered the new Designer Content Pro does the repeating fields effortlessly. Works fast and flawlessly! Bravo, dudes.

The missing link

This add-on gives a front-end designer with a little PHP understanding the ability to create blocks that make it truly simple for clients to control content in an accessible way while preserving formatting without having to remember what to style with what class, etc. Exactly as advertised. Simply an awesome piece of kit for building bespoke themes. Might as well buy a multi-pack, this is a default install on any new site.

Great add-on

I have just started working with Concrete5 and am enjoying learing it. It is what I've been looking for for quite some time. The Designer Content Pro was released at the right time for me, as it was exactly what I wanted, to easily extend the functionality of certain blocks. I have liaised with Jordan a few times and he is so helpful. I look forward to any future products from them.

Best Add on I've found...

Love this add on... we've just created our own rotating testimonial and image slider blocks that customers can just edit with ease! How powerful is that. The question we had was answered very quickly and well explained.

A must have

At the beginning, I was urgently looking to provide css tuning to the free Designer Content.
I started yesterday with this add-on, and the only question I have for now is : but why didn't I buy it earlier ?
If you need to show on a single page a list of repetitive items (products description for example), but do not want to have a page for each, then you need this add-on.
Professional work, what I exactly like.
Great job.

For designer and c5 theme developer, this is what you need

hissy
Flexible repeating items. Easy to edit complex content, easy to manage custom block types, easy to customize block type templates. I want to manage also non-repeating items, that is the feature makes this add-on perfect.

errrrr

This is very good. I want to use it on all my C5 sites but the price is too high. you cant share blocks made in one site with another site without needing another licence.

Makes me annoyed that word press already has a this functionality as a free add on called pods.

This C5 add on is very user-friendly and i would use it over wordpress pods any day but i think this should be part of the C5 CMS by default as it brings such a great set of tools to developers for building themes.

for the amount of cash I get from a client to build a website its eating away a lot of the profit especially when you consider all of the other add-ons you might need for the project.

Perhaps I should invest more time learning how to create my own blocks with multiple areas.. but then wordpress is like hi.. I have this already for free :S makes me reconsider my life...

Not a stab, just what's needed to be said!

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the high rating, and for sharing your thoughts on the cost. I understand that there are free alternatives for other systems, and I wouldn't begrudge anyone for choosing any system that works for their needs. But we have invested a great deal of time into this addon (I worked on it for over a year) for the purposes of selling it to other designers, developers, and agencies, so making it free is not an option we can afford.

We have found that when we build sites for clients, using Designer Content Pro saves us probably 4-8 hours per project, so our thinking was that $50 to save anywhere from $200- $1200 of billable hours (depending on what your rates are) is still a good deal.

But I understand that it's not ideal to have to purchase a separate license for every site. Unfortunately the Concrete5 Marketplace *only* allows per-site licenses. We are talking about selling per-developer and per-agency licenses at some point in the future, but to do so we will need to set up our own storefront, collect credit card info, etc... so it's not something we can turn on instantly.

Thanks again for your feedback, and if you'd like to continue this discussion, please don't hesitate to contact me at jordan@theblockery.com .

Best,
Jordan

Time saver deluxe

In no time editable multiple sliders, just the way I like them. Super-addon.

Complete Time Saver

WebcentricLtd
I had a requirement for a custom slider on a client site but didn't want to give the client too much control as with a standard plugin - but I wanted the functionality in a block rather than just coding it into the page. I remembered Designer Content Pro - within 30 minutes it was done. A brand new block with as much control as I require.

This saved me hours of development time - so, well worth it.

Best Block In the Market Place!

getdistinct
The free Designer Content is great, but to have the ability for repeating items makes Designer Content Pro that much better! This block lets me create almost any block I want!! Thanks so much!

I do wish it was ported to 5.7. This block is the only reason im still on 5.6 : )
