[closed]How to connect a FlexiContent article to a menu item

Hello!
Im new to Flexi and can not figure out how one would connect a FlexiContent article to a menu item. I did expect to find a button on the right hand side like with the normal Joomla article link. But there is nothing as one can see in the screen shot.
What did I do wrong?
A flexi category is published and flexi articles as well.

Joomla 1.7.0
FLEXIcontent version 1.6 Beta (r622)

Sorry, i am not using Joomla 1.7 yet, i am focusing on 1.5 for now. Someone else ?

Thanks. But is there that much of a difference in 1.5 to 1.6?

Im really stuck right now because I cant do anything without the articles connected to a menu.

This version is still in Beta, unless you really need joomla 1.7 maybe use 1.5?

Regards

I cant use 1.5 because the website projects requirement says Joomla 1.7.
The last option would be to drop Flexi and use other comps and modules, but that is not really an "option".

Any roadmap available that would at least roughly indicate when the arival of a stable or a RC is expected?

.
The Menu Item parameters are not working.
There is no roadmap or timeframe for FC for J1.6/1.7.
So I would not depend on it being available for your project within your time requirements.
Is any CCK for J1.7 stable at this point?

Trying to build a website right now using Joomla 1.7 is going to be very difficult.
Joomla 1.7 has many issues and is not stable.
It will be months before J1.7 and many extensions for it are ready for production websites.
Yes, you can build simple websites.
But be ready to solve multiple issues (bugs) yourself.
Unless you are a developer who knows how to do this and want fix all these issues yourself, stick with J1.5 for now.

Thanks for your informative post.

I want and need the 1.7 features and up to now I got the multi language feature working, nested cats are doing good... I dont want the migration hassle 1.5 to 1.8 in seven months time.

So I need to find a work around.

The Menu Item parameters are not working.

I only need to find a way to link to the articles. May be trough the categorie view.

Seblod 2.0 is working pretty good despite being still in beta as well. Zoo and K2 are no real CCKs from a Joomla perspektive IMHO.

I looked at it,
the code still needs plenty of things to be done.

I just might work on Flexicontent for j1.6/1.7

ggppdk,

Congratulations on your promotion to Developer (you certainly deserve it).

It has been very encouraging to see you fixing issues in FLEXIcontent (FC) for J1.5,
and adding new features, and monitoring the forum for issues.
For current FC users this has been very, very helpful.
But there is still more to do to complete the original vision of FC which was laid out at the beginning (as was stated in the original roadmap, blog, and forum).

Using J1.6/7 itself and using the FC version for J1.6/7 is still months away.

My concern is that your talents will be taken away from finishing the mostly working version of FC to become what was envisioned, and instead your time will be put into the J1.6/7 version which is still months away.

I for one hope that does not happen.

Regards,

Ken

Hello kenmcd!

Why should the devs commit to an old version (except for bug fixing) that runs out of use in a bit more than half a year? What I understand is that FC 1.6 is quite different from 1.5 which makes me wonder if any of new code now commited to 1.5 can be used in 1.6 as well?

If FC is trying to extend their user base, they have to make 1.6 stabel asap IMHO. Or the other CCKs will easily take them on bord.
