Is it possible to create items without title ?

Hi everyone!

I just moved the development of my website from Cobalt to Flexicontent, mainly because of the added support of Field Groups and other neat features. However, I am missing some features that were in Cobalt that are not present in Flexicontent.

I was wondering if in a possible release it would be possible to add Items that have no title (make the title field not required in a certain content type for example). In Cobalt this is possible and it just adds the item with a title of "No title: ID number".

Also, I love the relation fields, but is there a way to have a Select field where you can select a certain item and choose in which way it shows up on another Item's page?

If you have any questions about my Feature requests please don't hesitate to ask.

Have a great day!

Hello

add to the item form CSS to hide the title and JS to set some value to it so that validation does not fail

i can understand the usefulness of this, it is desirable to be able to hide all or some core fields in some cases

- you will be able to do it in v3.0.5 (to test it now "zip" and download flexicontent GitHub and install via Joomla installer)

About title read previous answer

about displaying related items inside other items,
- the display if full customizable using a "custom HTML" parameter, you can add it HTML, language string, and fields

Thanks a lot for the reply! I'm going to install it very soon!

Another question: I've seen that the jQuery plugin "imagepicker " ( rvera.github.io/image-picker/ ) is included in Flexicontent. Is there any way I can create a select field with imagepicker as the JS library instead of "select2"?

I've tried with a select field where I have "image" set but I can't seem to have the image show up in the list. I figure "imagepicker" would be a better solution than the tiny thumbnails in the list anyway.

Thanks ahead!

Hi again!

I have installed 3.0.5 dev and I enabled the new title options! However, on the form there is still the field "alias" which seems a bit strange when you don't have to give a title? Then in the end when I click Save I sadly get this error:

Error during storing the content: FLEXI_ARTICLES_MUST_HAVE_A_TITLE

Solved this issue by changing this:

to

in flexicontent_items.php

It's probably better to add "if item can be empty" before it but I don't know what the new parameter's name is and I wanted to quickly solve the issue.
