Alter Fields Pro

Displays Joomla custom fields in backend item list. Adds ability to sort, filter and search content items by custom field values.

For each custom field, you can enable its display in backend item list with some handy settings like CSS classes for table column heading and data cell, field layout (except frontend templates overrides).

Supports display of custom fields for Joomla articles, users, contacts and categories by default.

Additionally, its possible to allow table ordering by custom field values, add the filter for custom field in Joomla search tools and search by custom field value via common search tools search field.

It's also possible to limit access to custom field for specific usergrops in backend item edit pages (currently, Joomla always displays all custom fields for administrators).

Works with 3rd-party Joomla extensions if they follow native Joomla code standards (but no guarantees).

Works perfectly with our AJAX Toggler and AJAX Toggler Pro extensions.

Installation and configuration is simple: install the extension, next edit "System - Alter Fields Pro" plugin and save settings. Now you can edit your custom fields and configure them for display in "Item List Options".
