Matt Vanderzalm, owner of Matt Vanderzalm Designs and a fellow web designer, developer, and strategist, came to Hop Studios looking for help with some EE add-ons.
He wanted to improve the functionality so that data from relationship fields could be used to autogenerate content titles and URL fields.
Hop Studios knew the perfect add-on to help: GB Default Value. This add-on allows users to dynamically specify default values for text fields or file names for files. By using the field values, categories, and/or author member fields from the entry, the add-on generates the default values. And extra luckily, it was created by one of our developers, Gilbert Lin!
When Matt approached Hop about using this handy add-on, Gil saw the perfect opportunity to upgrade it to be compatible with EE7. He then further modified it for Matt to improve the functionality and allow him to autogenerate the content titles and URL fields that he needed.
Combining the GB Default Value add-on with Structure was the perfect pairing for Matt’s needs. Both of these add-ons worked in tandem to help customize and streamline the URL title fields.
Hop Studios is lucky and proud to have Gil on our team and to be able to offer these add-ons and specialized customizations to our clients. We look forward to seeing what comes next in web development and be sure to keep an eye out for the next add-on - either from Hop or Gil or both!!
