Customizing the Admin List Page for Custom Item Types
For each custom item type, the admin list page is automatically generated. You can change the columns shown by creating a global setting named admin.cit.index.columns.
Set the value of this setting to a JSON hash where the key is the CIT name, and the value is an array of label/fieldname/type hashes.
For example:
{"item_type_name": [{"label": "field 1 label", "fieldname":"field_1_name", "type":"text"},{"label": "field 2 label for related item", "fieldname":"field_2_name", "type":"related_single_item"},{"label": "field 3 label for taxonomy", "fieldname":"field_3_name", "type":"taxonomy"}]}.
This feature supports the text, number, date, taxonomy, and related item field types.
JSON String Type Options:
- text
- taxonomy
- checkbox
- date
- datetime
- related_single_item (Single Shared Items)
- related_group_items (Multiple Shared Items and Related Items)
Additional Customizations
As an alternative (or in addition), the following config settings allow more limited customization.
| Setting Name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| admin.cit.index.date.fields | Determines whether the "created_at" (default) or "updated_at" date column is shown. This must be set to the name of the item type followed by the desired field. A comma delimited list can be provided to set multiple item types. | product:updated_at, company:updated_at |
| admin.cit.index.comment.fields | Determines whether or not the comment count column is displayed. To turn it off, set to false. | product:false, company:false |
