Fields values and labels - easy expressions and SQL DB data access

[justdudeone]

Hi,

Will be very useful if Pods CustomFields will get easy using fields Values calculation and simple SQL DB data access.

A) Sample "Calculation":
Pod have CustomFields: F1 with Value=1, F2 with Value=2, C3.
Will be nice to have possibility to write at "C3" field Value or even Label expression like: {[F1]+[F2]+5}.
Thus such fields will save to DB not a straight Value, but some kind of expressions which will activates before frontend output. At frontend this field "C3" will display "Value = 8".

B) Sample "Easy Data Access":
Will be nice to have possibility to write at any field Value or even Label an SQL classic SELECT request.
Thus such fields will save to DB not a straight Value, but this SQL string or even procedure.

Also they must work together like: {[F1]+[F2]+"SQL SELECT"}.

PS Don't forget that the primary goal of your Pods - is to give to WP users possibility to fast and easy store more custom DATA at DATABASE. All my suggestions serve the same purpose - brings better DB structure and more possibilities for users to work with DB data. I highly recommend to add those functions. At my Win projects I can add such functionality just for 1 day. Because it's not require any dashboard or frontend changes - you also can make it enough fast. It will be VERY POWERFUL updatel
