Advanced Template Builder

JReviews is an amazing tool and I have been a user for many years now.

 

One of the major things lacking with it is its templating. Unless your familiar with the JReviews Code base and templating capabilities it can be very difficult to manipulate. This manipulation also only goes as far as your ability to use html and css to build your baseline template.

 

My Feature Request is to have a template builder for the site admin to be able to use to manipulate each of the pages template files using a drag and drop like interface. Ideally the builder would allow you to choose which page template you want to modify, then which listing type and then present only the field groups and fields for that specific listing type. This would allow custom template per listing type.

 

There are a few Joomla Page Builders available that do this with content, modules, sliders, tabs, etc so playing off of these ideas would be easily learned and make sense to most. Here are some examples:

 

 - https://www.joomshaper.com/page-builder

 - https://www.joomlashine.com/joomla-extensions/jsn-pagebuilder-joomla-page-builder-extension.html

 - https://www.themexpert.com/quix-pagebuilder

 

Each of the above allow you to create multi-colum, multi-row layouts using a grid like template.

 

I feel that this would be an amazing Premium Addon for JReviews and set a new standard for this already amazing extension.
