  • Do not use standard com_content and FLEXIcontent together. There are two reason for that: If you edit and article in standard com_content, you won’t update its extended datas. If you don’t unpublish com_content search plugins (content, categories, section) you will get duplicate results
  • Create at least one FLEXIcontent’s menu link to avoid for the route.php to work properly.
  • The section chosen for FLEXIcontent must contain at least one category with one article inside.
  • Be sure to unpublish the search plugin for Joomla search.content to avoid duplicate results.
  • To use the comments feature, install JComments component (www.joomlatune.com) Select and enable comments on the general configuration.
  • Duplicate and rename the default templates before changing them to avoid losing your adjustments on each component update. The templates can be found in:
    components/com_flexicontent/templates
  • It is recommended to create an item template for each content type to avoid headaches for positioning and ordering fields.
