[@tomlinwilding]

Hi Paul. Love your videos. Is there a more detailed video on forms or can you tell me how you edit CCTs rather than create them via this function. So if someone submits a new CCT item via form, and then wants to edit the entry, how would that work. Say in the example you have there, the person adds themselves as an entry, but later wants to change the photo or bio without creating.a duplicate entry? Thank you

[@maurocarrera1134]

Hi Paul, as always thanks for the video. I wanted to know 2 things. 1. Why to create the "Company" Manually instead of adding for example a TAG or META and filter automaticly with that? 2. There is no wat to "autocomplete" this fields automaticly? 3. Imagine you need to add a Field of Country... How can you do this? You need to set every contry manually? 4. I think would be great to have a separate video about Forms. Thanks!!

[@WPTuts]

Basically, q1 and 3 are some of the current limitations of CCT's. They can't use any form of taxonomy or tags as they are self contained inside their own DB table and not linked to external tables. Hopefully, this is something that can be expanded upon if possible in the future. Q2, not that I'm aware of, but this is still a very early new feature. Q4 it looks like that will be on the cards for sure. :0)

[@obiankebernardogochukwu2201]

Thanks so much for your efforts. Pls i need you to do a short video on multi-step form using crocoblock jetengine. thanks

[@24SevenMarketing]

DEFINITELY, I would love to see a full demo on the Jet Engine Form feature. I have tried using the new JetForms plugin for Gutenberg but I seemed to be having conflicts when I enabled the Forms option in Jet Engine and activated the JetForms plugin. I seem to have problems when I am using calculations with repeater fields. The documentation from JetEngine is far from clear on this feature of their forms tool. So, I would hope that you can dive into combining the use of the repeater feature and doing calculations in a repeater field, and extracting several calculated values for use in the rest of the form. Also, the calculations are extremely limited with essentially the basic math functions addition, subtraction, multiplication and division being the only functions supported. Is there a way to do more complex calculations?

[@TheHairbowMaster]

I just remembered, I wanted to know if you could show us how to use the Rest API parts of the custom content type? I don't quite understand how that works, or what kind of situation I would need it in. :) Thanks.

[@glhutchman]

Hi Paul. Great video as always. Question: It does not seem like you can setup Relations between CCT like you can with CPT. From what I saw in thins video, it seems linking to a Post Type is somewhat synonymous with setting up a Relation between CPT's but I am still a bit confused on this. So am I correct in assuming that if I need to setup a Relation between say "Sellers" and "Listings" then those would need to be setup as CPT vs CCT? OR Is linking a CCT to Post types essentially the same thing? Ultimately what I am trying to do is set up a 1 to many relationship: 1 Seller - Many Listings (Ads) as one would find in a classifieds site.

[@boasorte.online5313]

FANTASTIC, I’ve been following you for several years, I’m from Brazil and I understand you very well and I really didn’t know that these types of templates were really ready and that we can mess with Elementor but I have a question that will help me a lot, I’m making a guide of advertisers and classifieds in my city and there is no tutorial on this because I imagine that I should do a certain job but if I do one I could tell me how I do to create different fields for different categories for example Mechanics will be different from Real Estate and if I create by example Advertisers I will have to create separate Mechanics and Properties with type of advertisers to be able to make a form for each one because the information is different I hope you understood me and I would be very grateful if you helped me with this because I am 1 year trying to find something and nothing or if you know of a tutorial that talks about this subject I am immensely grateful and continue like this because your tutorials are too much in advance thank you from c a strong hug and much health !!!

[@ib4112]

As usual you deliver perfectly, CCT is a very good option i am not sure if JetEngine has somehow managed to use Taxonomies with CCT, Can you recommend the best way to use CCT and Taxonomies.

[@ArnaudDeSmedt]

Hi Paul, First of all thanks for all your great tutorial videos. I have a question regarding post expiry. I would like tour automatically expire or set to draft my JetEnine post type which in my case are Courses once the course date meta field has passed. Do you have a video about how to set tip up or could you guide me to a possible solution. Thx in advance and keep up the great work.

[@gatenet666]

Hey Paul great staff, just a question, except of speed in queries is there any other reason to use CCTs instead of CPTs? And duplicate content when you want to make a CCT to have single page is not very good for SEO purposes, it would be better if crocoblock could make a CCT with post features (Title, Content, Feautred image etc) in the same table of database and not use the default table of wordpress posts. What do you think? Thank you

[@WPTuts]

There are a couple of benefits of stripping data out of the standard WP tables and into their own tables. As mentioned, speed is the primary one but also the overall speed of WP should be better as the database tables used for CCT's won't be referenced at all until a page that lists them is used. This should just keep the core of WP leaner and less bloated and prone to slow down. I agree that there is still a way to go with what can be done with CCT's, but this is still the initial release and I'm hoping they'll be able to add in a lot more useful features moving forward. CCT's right now are limited in their use cases, but it's still good to have them and use them in the right scenarios. :0)

[@fazelnasri]

Don't be tired. I listened to the training and practiced. We have a lot of products, we want to use the JetReview plugin to survey them. Can we save them in CCT and link to posts? Or do we just post them directly? What speed is it for query? Which CCT or CPT is best for a set of brands in terms of speed Infinity

[@leegb5431]

Two questions. Could I use CCT's to create a messaging system between student and tutor? Would it be better to create said Students/Tutors using CPT's or CCTs? I note that CCT can now be accessed via REST API where ar CPT can't. I say this as I would also like to create a confirmation system via email link that uses post to update the relevant CCT meta_value from 0 to 1. I would like to do these things in house so to speak rather than having to purchase and add more 3rd party add-ons/plug-ins.

[@ahesse]

Great overview, Paul. Thanks! Wondering about making changes in the parallel universes of the CCTs and the posts for the single pages. Do the changes need to be applied to both? Let’s say, in your client example, a person switches from Apple to Google, do you have to make that change both in CCT and in the post?

[@WPTuts]

No, the related post only stores the basic name and bio, all the other information is stored in the CCT. Unfortunately, at the moment making a change in one doesn't reflect in the other. However, I've not tested this using the option to edit content via a frontend form which may yield different results and update the relevant data in both sections (post and CCT). If I get a chance tomorrow I'll see of I can setup a frontend edit option and test it there.

[@ahesse]

@@WPTuts Good idea to check what an edit form on the frontend does. Also wondering why JetEngine only allows registered users to submit images. Other forms (eg Caldera) have figured out ways for unregistered visitors to upload images.

@@tomlinwilding you should only really need to set it up to filter the content based on the logged in username and build some simple checks to ensure that they have the appropriate user role to edit content. If not, hide the links or buttons for editing.

Can you please give us a video about the options pages with jetEngine? I was trying to play around with it to see what it could do, but I can't figure it out. The instructions on their site are just not really clear. BTW, thank you so much for the videos you do!!! It has helped me immensly! Also, What I've been trying to do is come up with a post type called "Wall Posts" where people can post images and thoughts like on Facebook and others can comment on them. I've gotten really close, but just not quite there. I do have wpDiscuz for the commenting, but it won't let me put it on a custom content type. Only a post type. So I thought a repeater field set would work but I need to make the form so that others can use it on anyone's post type. If you could maybe use this as an example for a video? or point me in the right direction? I've tried getting into coding, but there's just so much to learn. Anyways, thanks!

Thank you for all the excellent content you create for us followers. Love it. But for this video I have a question regarding sorting the Custom Content types - both backend and frontend.

Because now I have had to add a field called Numbers, and put in a manual number to get the front end listing to come out the way I want. No ideal solution, but if there is a better way - please give me a hint :-) Thnx

[@joukenienhuis6888]

A Custom Content Type (CCT) is a type of table. It says something about the structure of the database, I think. In this table or CCT you enter new data. I would advise you to keep the changes to the structure of your site in matters of data types behind the website, so on the dashboard. And make good data entry forms to fill the CCTs with data on the front.

[@bluetheredpanda]

@@joukenienhuis6888 I ended up going with unlimited elements (huge collection + creating my own widgets + the new loop builder is pretty sweet) and Dynamic Content for Elementor (hugely useful for dynamic content, but I actually haven’t used the templating system yet). But yeah, I do have Elementor Pro. I think in the end, packages like The Plus Addons are only useful for those who want a mix of new features (parallax, etc.) and styles (if you’re not so confident with customizing your widgets with either the Elementor tools or custom CSS), but that’s not me. With all that being said and in the interest of a thorough answer, I’m in the process of slowly moving away from Elementor. The code not being optimized is part of it, but mainly it’s because I find it, if not bothersome, at least not fun anymore to build websites with it. It always feels too complex and bloated to use in the back-end. While on the other hand, I have a great time using GenerateBlocks or Zion. (Plus, you know… the price of Elementor). The only thing I haven’t really found an alternative to yet is the Crocoblock suite, which is hugely useful when building more dynamic / complex websites. If you have one, I’m all ears. 😊

I added checkbox filter with glossary and it doesnt work

[@BlueteraMarketing]

I find the way the single page functionality works to be a bit odd and inefficient. One of the big selling points of using a CCT is that the data is stored in a separate DB table to improve performance. But if you want to turn on the single page functionality for a CCT, you are actually making two entries in two different tables (one in the default CPT table and one in the CCT table). So if you need the use of single page, wouldn't it make more sense to just use a CPT instead, which would result in one entry? Seems to me that a CCT should have it's own method for displaying a single page that is pulled directly from the same CCT record and table, I am just curious if anyone else has any opinions on that?

[@YuriLeonardoLopes]

O vídeo é antigo mas.... Has Single Page --> Não seria melhor utilizar apenas um "Custom Post Type"? Um CPT, contem todas as tabelas de um Post e ao invés de vincular estes campos, poderíamos adicionar diretamente os dados em um CPT. Não entendi a vantagem do CCT.

Would be even better if we had access to featured image, as well as post excerpt for RSS feeds, etc. of course I am not sure where Jet is going with this, my guess is they have much more planned ...

[@WPTuts]

Exactly. If you look historically at many of the first versions of Jet plugins they are more a simple proof of concept and fairly bare bones. If you look at v1 of JetEngine, it certainly was no match for the likes of ACF, PODS, Toolset, etc. Now, it has become incredibly feature rich and very much a viable alternative to those tools. I'm sure CCT's will develop along the same lines with testing, experimentation and community feedback helping shape where it will eventually end up. :)

Hey Paul, What is the main disadvantage of using custom content type instead of custom post type?

[@WPTuts]

Organisation. If you want to organise your CCTs like you would with normal CPTs then you can't currently use taxonomies. That, IMHO is the biggest shortcoming right now.

How are "Custom Content Types" different to "Post Types" in JetEngine?

[@joukenienhuis6888]

As I see in this video, Post Types are just normal Post Type with the standard fields. A Custom Content Type has user defined fields.

[@adambermingham7661]

Why would you choose to use this feature and and not a standard CPT?

[@WPTuts]

For simpler database projects with a lot of records, CCT's would be considerably faster to display content.

[@adambermingham7661]

Can we not have one just using all the stuff in Crocoblock please without seemingly having to use Elementor?

[@Webcoreinteractive]

FYI, the single page part of this video is dead wrong. First, if you have other custon post templates, this will conflict. Second, we followed this verbatim and our i9mage field worked but not the othe fields. Def a bug in this plugin. Crocoblock plugins are the buggiest plugins you will ever use. You've been warned people!

how to add custom tags with jetEngine

[@msvmanikantasrivishnu7788]

Everything was nice but their pricing on lifetime was increased so much.

[@WPTuts]

So has the amount of tools and features you get for the price though. 👍

[@msvmanikantasrivishnu7788]

​@@WPTuts yes I agree, but around the world the wages/salary/project costs are not same

[@WPTuts]

@@msvmanikantasrivishnu7788 absolutely spot on, but the issue they will always face (as with most online businesses that sell to the world) is that they need to factor their costs into their market value and price accordingly. Sadly, that means that countries with lower incomes/worse exchange rates will suffer.

[@jcdeaton42]

LOL. Hit the thumbs down button twice. Good one.

[@WPTuts]

Gotta get the YT trolls before they get me.. lol

[@jcdeaton42]

Understood. Fortunately, those people are probably dumb enough to fall for this :)

[@SamWereb]

This seems to offer nothing more than a basic WordPress post does, and nothing as useful as custom post types (and fields). I hope there's more to it on the way. It's been a year.

[@MoxetKhanPK]

It is widely used for bulk of records for example you have CPT for jobs and 10000 or applicant, you can use CCT over there.
