Adding a textbox and a combobox in a webpage using Django CMS - django-cms

I've just started using Django CMS so my understanding of the tool is very limited, but I've been trying to do something that I assumed would be very simple, yet, I couldn't find a way of doing it.
I'm currently looking to add some textboxes and comboboxes on a webpage. I couldn't find these controls in the content section of the CMS. There are many choices like buttons, maps, videos, pictures, etc. but I didn't find textbox or combobox. How can I create these?
Thanks!

I downloaded the Aldryn package which seems to do the trick.

What's the best Wordpress page builder for creating custom HTML blocks and controls?

I'm searching a most simple solution to create my own page builder system. I want to code my own blocks and then add to them some controls, only that what I choose.
So on firs fire goes ACF with ACF Extended. Works great until I didn't create more flexible fields. For example, I'm creating ROW (first flexible content) with a specified numbers of columns. Then, in each column I'm adding a BLOCK (second flexible content). Some of the blocks can contains other flexibles or repeaters. In ACF the problem is a lot of flexible and repeater fields. If is to much of them, then WP admin crash, data is saving, but sometimes only a partial.
So I'm searching other, lighter solution for that. I've tried I think every page builder like Elementor, WP Backery, Beaver. Problem is they are based on build-in elements and a lot of controllers. It's fine if someone want's to create site quickly, without coding. But I need a some kind of developer environment when I have control on each function of my HTML blocks.
So, is anyone knows what tool I could use for that?
Thaks!
You did not name it in your list, so what about the Gutenberg Editor?
It's already in the core of wordpress, so the wordpress developers thought, this is the best block editor.
You can easily create your custom blocks and controls with ACF:

This may also help:

With Gutenberg, you can be sure, this is not an editor which will be gone in a few years. It will stay in wordpress core and it is only in the beginning of becoming the best WYSIWYG Editor in the core of a cms.

Draggable widgets for web content

How i can create draggable widgets for web content like sitefinity.For example contact form, image slider, page layout,etc.Can you help me about this issue?
Since you are using ASP.NET, why not use the Web Parts controls, which already have this functionality. I know Telerik also has a control for this too. That would be the easiest way, but you could build your own using JQuery draggable/droppable plugins. However, these do not save their state across postbacks.

Alternative to fancybox?

The site I am working on was using a fancybox to display checkboxes and such so that an admin can easily add more items to a specific product. After messing with it for way too long, I have to scrap that fancybox, but now that the page is broken, I'm not sure what to do. The checkboxes that were displayed are in such a large quantity that using collapsible divs would just make the page a huge mess.
Is there a different modal pop-up that might work better than fancybox? I read that modals just don't work with ASP and that is what I am using for this site. ASP.net 4.0 using VB. If anyone has ideas or suggestions I would love to hear them. I'm struggling with where to take this project now.
There are hundreds of jQuery plugins with modal windows and close functionality. For example check this . I personally use colorbox

drag and snap Ajax or asp control

im looking for a free version of the following http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/dock/examples/overview/defaultcs.aspx and wondered if anyone knew of anything that existed something that you can drag and snap panels in to other panels then save the layout of these panels preferably to a database. If they is no free versions anyone can think of (i have looked and cannot find anything :/ ) how easy would it be to program such a Ajax or asp control? and how could i go about doing so?
Thanks in advance
yes, ASP.NET already has this through its web parts. It's pretty similar to this control. The Telerik one looks nicer, but the web parts controls already have most of the features that Telerik offers.
You can also customize them too.
HTH.
Look at jQuery UI. Specifically their interactions area: http://jqueryui.com/demos/ It's real easy to implement.
The part you will need to supply is the storage of where everything goes.
We use their drag and drop, I didn't even know Telerik had one although we have Telerik all over our projects.

Using of a data tree in Drupal?

I'd like to create a page on wich one I'll set a data view and/or a datagrid to display some hierarchical information on it. Also, I'd like to have a contextuel menu (right click) on it.
It's my first time I use Drupal. Previously, I was using the toolkit Dojo for creating this menu tree. However, I saw that Dojo is not really supported by Drupal.
Could you help me? Waht is the best solution to create such menu tree/datagrid on Durpal?
Thanks you very much,
Bat
You have to make changes in the theme of your drupal site for data view and/or a datagrid display
For contextual menu visit: http://drupal.org/project/vbo_contextmenu
