(added) What would you expect from Module Creator?

Hello Randy,

Your contribution is much appreciated. We shall take note of your recommendations.

Regards,

Andrés.

HI, I'd really love the Module Creator to be able to connect seamlessly with the Component Creator, allowing a form (for example) which is used in the Component Creator to be displayed on the same page as a module

Do you have any timescale in mind for this please?

Hi Russel!

Thanks for your feedback. The Module Creator will be part of Component Creator so that will be possible to do, yes.

We can't assure when it will be ready but we would like it to be ready by next month. We will announce it here, on twitter , facebook and in a newsletter 

Regards,

Andrés

Thanks Andres, that would be a great addition to the Component Creator

If the component has a category field, offer to build a module that displays a list of items by category - and with the option for one or more categories, and the option to include nested categories.  This probably provides the "mundane" work of building a module.  Designing the view is our responsibility, of course.

It seems to me that the typical module types would be a single item, all items, or items by category.  Perhaps for modules that list items, the module can provide filters or sorting in terms of "latest," "by author," or "by hit count."  Perhaps you could provide a place for us to add custom SQL that will filter or sort on fields we add.

Also, if a link is provided on an item within a list, give us the option to have the detail page show in a popup as an alternative to reloading in the current page.

Agree

In the area of plug-ins... you can already populate a dropdown from another table, and refine that data via code, but a cascading dropdown would be nice (additional where statement).
