Fields are the elements that constitute contents. The only required field is the content’s title, even if the description field (introtext/fulltext) is strongly recommended to maintain com_content’s compatibility.
The first particularity is that FLEXIcontent can assign a same field to multiple types of content. In the optic of building multi-criteria advanced search engines (upcoming feature) this feature is extremely interesting.These fields are automatically added to all contents’ types. This doesn’t mean they will automatically be displayed on the site, but just that they exist and have a value. These fields values are self-generated and thus don’t appear in the “item type fieldset” of the item form. The only exception is the description field!!! If you really doesn’t want a description text to be displayed for a specific content type, just hide it with type’s parameters.
Theses fields are:
These fields are:
These fields are specifically created by administrators to build their different content types. (e.g. dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons, download buttons, images, and many more...).
These fields are:
To create the value set of these fields use the following syntax in the element field of the specific field properties panel.
value1::Label1%% value2::Label2%% value3::Label3
In the case of radio image and checkbox image buttons the syntax is the following:
value1::Label1::image1.jpg%% value2::Label2::image2.jpg
The image path is specified in the image directory fields.
Since the beta4 release select lists (standard and multiple) can be dynamically generated by SQL queries. If you wish to display a list of the Joomla users for example use the following syntax in the element field :
SELECT id AS value, name AS text FROM #__users
Checkboxes and select multiple lists allow you to store multiple values as radio buttons and standard select list can only store a single values.
All these fields can be used as filters in the category views.The date fields are used store dates, you can choose to store single or multiple values and the display format. Concerning the display format, the populated formats are default Joomla constants (DATE_FORMAT_LC1, …). You can use a custom format, see strftime for more information.
