FLEXIcontent 1.5.4 install notes:
As FLEXIcontent 1.5.4 doesn't modify the data structure you can upgrade without risks. That means you can revert to 1.5.3c if anything doesn't work properly on your website. Some new features requires a small modification on your custom templates.In order to add the advanced routing feature you have to edit your category templates. (category_items.php)
Blog based templates :
Find :
$this->category->slugand replace by
$items[$i]->categoryslug
Default based templates :
Find
$this->category->slugand replace by
$item->categoryslug
In order to add the table of content to your multi-pages articles you have to edit the item.php file and add the following code:
<?php if (isset($this->item->toc)) : ?>
<?php echo $this->item->toc; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
You can place it where like depending where you wish it to appear in your template.
Changing core files (pagebreak.php) is optional if you wish to enable multi-page layouts. It is possible that the next Joomla upgrade may replace this file, so make sure to backup first.You have also to edit the pagebreak content plugin to allow FLEXIcontent application to trigger them.
For the Joomla Pagebreak plugin, edit plugins/content/pagebreak.php
Find
$view != 'article'replace by
($view != 'article' && $view != 'items')
For the UberPageBreak plugin, edit plugins/content/uberpagebreak.php
Find
($view!= 'article' && $view!='item')replace by
($view!= 'article' && $view!='item' && $view != 'items')
