Better highlight the Free vs Paid features in the online demo

[adriallongarriu]

Improve demo to show all fields, filters and columns. Especially to show what features are PRO and what are FREE. There could be 2 sections one only with FREE features and the other with PRO features.

Another comment: BulkClone and BulkDelete are list as PRO. There are not blade views but the BulkCloneOperation.php and BulkDeleteOperation.php estil exist in src/app/Http/Controllers/Operations.

Hey @adriallongarriu ,

Indeed, you can find a BulkDeleteOperation inside backpack/crud but take a look at it:

<?php

namespace Backpack\CRUD\app\Http\Controllers\Operations;

trait BulkDeleteOperation
{
    use \Backpack\Pro\Http\Controllers\Operations\BulkDeleteOperation;
}

It's there only for backwards-compatiblity, so people don't have to change the namespace in their projects.

In regards to showing the difference between fields/columns/filters:

• all fields are shown in Monsters, and each field has a badge - FREE or PRO; check it out;
• all filters are PRO;
• for columns we actually don't have them separate in the demo, but I guess we could do the same as for the fields, so for Monster in Preview we could show each column if it's a FREE or a PRO column; here; what do you think?

It's a bit difficult to see things from a visitor's perspective, we've been deep into this split for 6+ months, so your perspective would be really helpful. What can we do to make it more obvious you should look at Monsters if you want to see the FREE vs PRO features in action? I'm thinking:

• write exactly that in the FREE vs PRO docs page ("Take a look at the FREE vs PRO features in action, in our online demo, inside the Monster admin panel."
• in the demo menu, remove the "NEW" badges and add a "FREE vs PRO" badge to Monsters (to draw attention there);
• (maybe) add an alert to the top the dashboard, to tell people just that, to go to Monsters to see the difference in features;
• (maybe) in the menu we create three sections:
  • Using Only FREE Features
  • Free vs PRO
  • Using Free & PRO Features

That's your take on this @adriallongarriu ?

My fault i didn't check inside the files.

For the FREE vs PRO:

for columns we actually don't have them separate in the demo, but I guess we could do the same as for the fields, so for Monster in Preview we could show each column if it's a FREE or a PRO column; here; what do you think?

Yes, but somehow it should be indicated that you can find the demo of the columns on this page. If you enter the demo for the first time I don't know if it's a too obvious that the listing and preview pages use the same code for columns.

I think the best opstions are:

in the demo menu, remove the "NEW" badges and add a "FREE vs PRO" badge to Monsters (to draw attention there);

You can still put "NEW" to feature some section but prioritization show "FREE/PRO" and if needed show both badge

in the menu we create three sections: Using Only FREE Features Free vs PRO Using Free & PRO Features

This can be a good solution to go in and see at the moment what you get with the basic version and what can you do in the pro version.

Additional things to improve in the demo:

• Chart widgets is not showing has PRO
• In caves and stories use repeatable. The inside inputs show "FREE vs PRO" but the repeatable it self is show "NEW"
