We’ve built several sites for community sporting clubs. One of the classic features is to show the list of club sponsors.
In most cases we’ve been able to use a content collection to display a repeater with the sponsor logos.
However, some clubs prefer that list of sponsors to be shown on every single page, which means adding the repeater to the footer. This precludes using dynamic content, as master sections currently do not provide the feature of being able to be linked to content collections.
When the repeater is manually managed I’ve noticed that once you reach 10 items in the repeater the action of duplicating an item and ordering those items is incredibly buggy.
1: You cannot duplicate any item other than item 1. Attempting to duplicate item 7, 8, 9,10 etc. fails. The browser console reveals javascript errors (attached)
2: You cannot order the items with any certainty. Attempting to drag item 1 to another place in the order moves it to that position, but also swaps the item immediately prior to that placement to the position of the item you were moving.
E.g. If I move an item in position 1 to position 5, the result is the item in position 4 being swapped to position 1…
starting order 1-2-3-4-5-etc.
observed result 4-2-3-1-5-etc.
expected result 2-3-4-1-5-etc.
The combination of these two issues makes using the repeater pretty terrible for its intended purpose.
