Help with Fred and Collections (Blog)

MODX Revolution 3.1.2-pl (traditional)

Simple installation with Fred functioning.

I would like to use the front end to manage a blog using Fred and Collections extras. I have everything needed installed and working as intended but I can’t seem to find how to include other blog data aside from the Title to the Fred ‘collections’ integration.

When logged into Fred on the front end, on the side menu, Collections is an available menu. When it is clicked, the menu with my blog named. Once clicked I get a popup window to add a page. I then click new page and the only data fields available are ‘Page Title’ ‘Template’ and ‘Blueprint’.

All functions work as expected but how do I add additional information? I have search and searched without any success. PLEASE help, this is the only issue I have and can’t figure it out.

THANKS!

I never used Fred with Collections (and I’m not really familiar with the Fred code base), but it looks to me that these fields (‘Page Title’ ‘Template’ and ‘Blueprint’) are hard-coded and can’t be expanded with custom fields:

I guess all additional fields would then be set directly in the newly created resource.

Yeah, it’s hard coded currently.
