Cumbersome and convoluted.

  • if you have ever used CCk and views in Drupal, you’ll be highly disappointed if you think that’s what you will get with this plugin.
    I have found many case scenarios where you have to create complex (and wonky) structure to achieve simple things. While you might be able to make it work sometimes, it will not be without much frustration and lots of time wasted researching how to do simple stuff.

  • This is what you get when you come from Drupal.
    What made you think that Types are like Drupal views? The plugin works as it should, it’s very very useful. WordPress is different, nothing is like Drupal here.
    Your 2 star review is based on your inability to read specs and poor understanding of how WordPress works. It’s far from being fair.

    The review is not based in inability to read specs or poor understanding. After contacting and working with the wp-type team they have confirmed that there are some limitations and help found a work around. They also informed me that they are currently working on a revamp of the type plugin so that it will be easier and more flexible.
    As it stand I still think the 2 stars are a fair rating but once they fix types it will certainly change.

    Now we can certainly keep it friendly. I appreciate the fact that you do not agree with me but there is no need for being “agressive”. Drupal and wordpress (and many other CMS) have their place and reasons to be. There’s many things from WP which I would love to see in Drupal and vice versa. In this particular case I do think Drupal has the upper hand for now and I used it as a reference point in case anyone was coming with the same expectation as I did.
