This month, our last JUGL of the year, sees us going out with a bang.

We host Marc Dechèvre (@woluweb) presenting his talk One Custom Field to rule them all: Build anything (like a carousel) with only 1 Custom Field

Joomla 3 came with an interesting Repeatable Custom Field (CF)  but it was rather limited as only simple fields like Text or Integers were allowed. #Joomla4 has completely revamped the concept of Custom Field of type "Repeatable", which is now called Custom Field of type "Subform". Now you can select any type of Custom Field within your "Subform", ie any native CF but also any 3rd party CF. This means for instance that you can even use videos (YouTube, Vimeo, ...), maps, related articles etc.  … Mind blown!

Then we have Dimitris Grammatiko (@dgrammatiko) presenting his talk Sweet child o'mine: a deep dive into child templates

This new feature for Joomla4.1 will allow people to override templates without the need to either clone the template or override core files.  This will mean they can take advantage of template updates but still make their own updates without issue.  This is particularly useful when #Cassiopeia gets such high Google Lighthouse scores out of the box, but you may like an extra module position for example.
