Cutting Edge Knives review for Bonify Custom Fields
Jan. 18, 2021
Absolutely critical app for anyone who needs more than a simple product description. It extends Shopify in so many ways to fill so many functionality gaps it's indispensable. I have to admit I really don't like the new sidebar UI when editing products, you have to ensure your mouse is hovered over the fields when editing content and it's very frustrating when it closes so quickly if you nudge your mouse. Was significantly more usable and easy to scan what content was needed when your custom fields were appended to the bottom of your pages instead. Apart from that, the app itself is excellent. -- Updated to reflect answer about pinned mode - thanks for that, didn't know about it and totally appreciate it must be a moving target with Shopify code so once again, it's an incredible app and one I'm unable to live without and happy to pay for :)
Sorry to hear you're disappointed with the Chrome Extension! To solve your problem with hovering, we recommend using "pinned mode" in the extension. Open the extension as usual, then click on Settings and select "Pinned Mode". This will keep the extension open and only close it when you click to close it. We would have kept the plugin with the output on the bottom of the page, but Shopify continuously changes the HTML on the forms. Without any reliable place to inject our plugin, it was breaking regularly. We explored every conceivable location and method and determined that we had to change it to an overlay and the upper left corner with a "drawer" was the only place that would not get in the way for users. It wasn't a change we wanted to make, but this was our only option. Please do reach out to the team if we can assist you now or in the future. :)
