FLEXIContent - v2.0.0 - final for J2.5 released (r1648)

Glad to see Flexi alive and kicking
I am testing v2.0_preRC3_r1110 on a fresh Joomla 1.7.3 environment.
Couple of doubts I'd like to sort out:
1-Is Advanced Search implemented in any away? I have read the disclamier in the menu item for this view, but it does not make clear where we are in terms of features.
2-In older versions of FC we had an option to set any field as filterable in the field settings. I've notice that this option is now in the General Configuration. However, I don't quite undersaynd how filters are added to either a Directory or a Category view.
3-Is the import tool ready? If so, where?

r1113 image not found.

Items list Image "Flag" not found from Language = All
/components/com_flexicontent/templates/default/category_items.php replace $this->category->name to $this->category->title

To : bittingbits
1-About Advanced Search working:
see a previous post in the forum thread
(it works but the initial creation of pre-calculated index does not stop and searching in custom fields using drop-downs is not done only via search box field,
(for now you can use standard joomla search with the flexicontent standard search plugin)

2-About filters, the old way of creating filters is no longer used, so now a field can be made filter only if it implements function onDisplayFilter() this way we have a lot more control what the filter displays. So not all fields can be made filters, go to category parameters and select filters, but filters that do not implement function onDisplayFilter() cannot be made filters

3-Is the import tool ready? If so, where?
enjoyman has implemented some very basic import for J1.5, the much more powerful flexi-import from netassopro is not ready yet for J1.7/2.5 yet (i think)

To Arkadiy
1. yes the item.png for blog is missing maybe i can do something, take a screenshot, and edit the image a little like i did for category.png in faq template

2. The image All doesnot exist, you will have a text for this instead of flag

...

I have opened an issue here to fix all that you have reported:

Item not save on the front if usergroup = Author. Says and "Item saved" on database noting change. Super User save item ok.

Versioning not enable.

another question/request from Arkadiy:

Frontend forms templates are missed.

I tried to make new view for content editing from frontend, but cant understand some parts:

the edit() functions in /com_flexicontent /controller.php send us to display() function of view.
And display() call _displayForm($tpl): I cant understand this logic. isn't it more wise to call it from controller (with some changes in layout), like this, for example:

in this case we will can choose different templates for editing form without hacking flexi.

hi,
r1110 looks great, but i cant get fc to use the admin language file (en-GB nor de-DE).. only frontend language file is used (for frontend and admin)
what am i missing?

greetings

thats exactly the problem! only elements specified in frontend language file are translated in backend!

about non-saving items post from fronend by Arkadiy - he offer the quick fix.


So, if you are NOT Superuser (Author, for example) you cant correct yours items untill you have not "immediately publish" right.

solution:
in \administrator\components\com_flexicontent\models\parentclassitem.php

after this insert:
but it may produce some issue if you change the state of items ($data)

ps
ggppdk, i hope you will understend what Arkadiy did from my strange English :lol:
