Thanks, Peter – yeah, ACF fields integration is one of the most interesting upcoming additions to the BB plugin for me. Will definitely make things a whole lot simpler.

However, Toolset consists of various plugins, among them Types to create CPT/CF’s and Views to display them. Types is a free basic plugin. Views is part of the paid complete Toolset.

Making toolset connect to BeaverBuilder plugin is very smart. But in my opinion only a connection to Types would be needed. The ‘view’ part can be done in Beaver Builder by using ‘field-shortcodes’. However (correct me if I am wrong) because of their businessmodel, they connected Types and Views together to let the combination work with Beaver Builder.

But Views was developed long before pagebuilders and was actually a way to build pagelayouts based on CPT/CF’s. Views would not be needed for that creative purpose and I don’t see Views do actually anything for this purpose.

I can’t wait to see BB 2.0 with the Advanced Custom Fields (pro) integrations. That seems a more straightforward soltion to me, without any commercial ‘work around’.
