VX Modules
VX Modules is an add-on plugin for VX Framework, the data-modeling plugin from 27collective. VX gives a WordPress site real content structure — post types, taxonomies, fieldsets, dynamic data. VX Modules puts that structure to work: in Elementor, in a spreadsheet, on the posts list, in front-end forms, and in your store.
Current release: 0.1.0. See the changelog for what's in each version.
Requirements
| Requirement | Minimum |
|---|---|
| WordPress | 6.9 |
| PHP | 8.1 |
| VX Framework | 1.0.0-beta.1 or newer — Free or Pro |
| Elementor | Free or Pro, for the Elementor module only |
| FluentCart / WooCommerce | For the matching store module only |
VX Framework is not optional
VX Modules never bundles VX and does nothing useful without it. It installs alongside VX Free or VX Pro and uses only VX's GPL-licensed PHP extension points.
The nine modules
| Module | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Elementor | Nine dynamic tags, a VX field picker beside every dynamic control, visibility rules on every element, and loops | Off |
| Sheet | Every post of a post type in one full-screen grid, every field editable in place | Off |
| Columns | The whole column set of a post type's list, plus a bulk editor that previews before it writes | On |
| Validation | Rules a post must meet before it is published | Off |
| Forms | Front-end forms: post, standalone, registration, login, password reset, and product options | Off |
| Messaging | Private conversations between members, and about a listing: threads, groups, files, read receipts, a chat dock | Off |
| WP All Import | VX fields in WP All Import's mapping step | Always on |
| FluentCart | FluentCart store data as VX dynamic data, product fields, product options forms | Off |
| WooCommerce | The same for WooCommerce | Off |
Nothing but Columns is on out of the box. A module that is off registers nothing at all — no hooks, no assets, no abilities.
