Sorry no time for FLEXIcontent development, till Thursday or Friday.

I must make a living too ...

Regards

Hi!

Is there already something new until there is a new beta 2.0?

THANK YOU

Several bugs were fixed since last version and added some new features like a new template 'faq' and the Universal FLEXIcontent module (which has a couple of more possibilities and better grouping of the parameters)

Also some changes to the advanced search feature too (this feature was implemented by enjoyman but since his english is not so good , i tried to reorganize things to be more user friendly). Also for advance search feature i have added support for some fields, and fixed some small bugs. But it still needs some more work.

I will make some tests and upload a new version with a changelog too, hopefully today.

Regards

Thanks for the update.

I can't make searching work with FlexiContent's search modules. I get 0 results no matter how I try to set it up.

Have not test the search module yet and enjoyman, author of advanced search feature is unavailable due to floods (yes yes water ...).

So will test/fix in weekend or next week, sorry this feature is very new and i don't have the one or two evening i need to finish up what i have in mind.

All other features are stable with only a few bugs, like:
-- in category view the per page is not working
-- in frontend the items are not saved properly if you disable versioning

Also, recently, i made the interface of advanced search feature a lot more user friendly and improved speed and added support for core fields including tags, but i need to do more.

Plus to test it more and fix a few bugs. Please use this feature only for testing !!!
