Hi,
I have a "organisational" question to ask here as i would like to use Flexicontent but i'm not sure if i can for my idea.
I explain :)
I would like to have a site with a list of artists.
These artist have an individual presentation and for each artist dates of shows.
A show can start a day and finish 2 or 3 days later.
So i can have
Artist 1 - 3 uniques dates
Artist 2 - From date1 to Date2 and 2 single date
Artist3, etc....

My question is : is this better to organize my field by event or by artist ?
Why this question : a person arriving on the site will have dozen of artists and hundreds of dates.
If they search, they will have to filter by date, places, artists, etc..
For all this, this is not complicated as Flexicontent allow all this.
What is complicated is filtering content by date included in fields as a date is linked to a place.
Also, if a show start from a date to another date, i don't want to add all separate date, just from xxxx to xxxx and then i have a little issue to filter on a date between the 2 dates...

What do you think ? What is the best way ? Artist ? Places ? Events ? Dates ?
Thanks in advance :)
Xavier

Just for the record, this question is linked to this subject : mail.flexicontent.org/forum/20-general-s...to.html?limitstart=0
But the solution is not working... The main issue is to range date filter...
If i modelize this, i have 2 databases : the artist and the events...

Ok, i'm searching and searching.... and i think i could use 2 types to do this and a field to link them as explain here : www.flexicontent.org/documentation/faq/7...-reverse-fields.html

My question is now quite simple : at the bottom of the explanation, i can read "it is better to use the custom html fields". But i dont find any example or explanation on how to do this...

Is there some help i missed somewhere which explain how to use custom fields in place of relation fields ?
Thanks :)

=> in relation and relation reverse you can create your some loop for display with html tag and field replacement like
<div class="yourclass">
{{fieldname##0}}
etc
