Make number of columns configurable

Repeatable Custom Content

Hi Masood,

Any plans on making the number of fields configurable, so we're not limited (or forced) to have 7 fields? Haven't used the package yet, but wonder whether the value of the datatype is stored in the value for each field attribute (in the xml you generate)?

Cheers,

/Dirk

Yes it stores values are stored as attributes.
```
<items>
<item field1="123" field2="abc" ..... field7="xyz">
</items>
```
Next version would be:

- Configurable number of fields

- Allow dropdownlist/checkboxlist and other datatypes for fields

- Mandatory/optional fields

- Other improvements/suggestions

Cheers

It would be nice if item data could (also?) be saved in the usual Umbraco XML syntax: <data alias="field1">123</data>.

In this way you could just cut&paste code from other XSLT without any change.

It would also nice if you could define alias for your fileds, instead of filed1...field7

Next version (to be released soon) saves data as:<data alias="alias">property value</data>
