Hi,

I want to use the related item field but I need to add the category title to the results, because the item titles are pretty generic. Also, ho do I define the label as a H1 heading without loosing it after every FC update?

PS: By the way, is there a description how the related items backlink field works?

It is automatic e.g

You have a "Singer" Content Type
and
a Album Content Type

in a Singer item you select 10 albums via the "Related Items Field" called "Albums"

Then you create a Field called "Singer" of type Backlinks related items and in its configuration you select it to reverse the "Albums" Field

then you assign this new field "Singer" to the content Type Albums

(it will not appear in item edit form)
you only add to the item layout used to display albums
when any album is viewed in the frontend it will display the singer automatically.

Thanks for the backlink explanation. Very useful indeed!

Is there a way to add the category title in front of a related item link?

Currently the related items field does not have extra displaying parameters for selecting this,

we wanted to provide an easy way of allowing the related items field to display more data that just the item title,

i am thinking to avoid too much trouble to provide a single parameter, where you can select the extra fields that you want to be displayed for it, e.g.

categories, voting, createdby

Hello,

I tried a few things an it looks good so far :)

I managed to have a List of Evenet results with Link to the Player Profile
test.discrockers.com/de/eventres ... -2013.html
This works Great!

I created a item typ with related and related reverse fields withe placement rank
field1= 1
field2= 2
field3= 3

then I creat the article and contect them to the profile item typ.

The Profils with results of the event the player attanded.
test.discrockers.com/de/teams/it ... lassy.html

The Problem is that the list displays the field 1 then the field 2 together
Is it somehow possible to sort or seperate the placment to the related reverse link.

I hope you understand what I would like to do
kind regards
J

keep on rockin
