Using mm_ddMultipleFields Together with ddGetMultipleField

A short extras note about pairing mm_ddMultipleFields with ddGetMultipleField to manage and render structured repeated values in Evolution CMS.

Some extras become much more useful when they are paired correctly. This note highlighted one of those combinations: mm_ddMultipleFields for editing repeated values, and ddGetMultipleField for rendering them cleanly on the frontend.

The original post was short, but the point was important. Documentation often treats related tools as isolated pieces, while developers usually need a complete workflow: one tool to manage the data, another to output it.

Why the pairing works

  • mm_ddMultipleFields helps store structured repeated field values
  • ddGetMultipleField turns that stored data into usable output
  • together they reduce template duplication for repeatable content blocks

It is a small reminder, but a useful one: when evaluating extras, look for the combinations that form a workflow, not just standalone features.
