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

I wanted to finish improvements on the new search feature before this build, but i have decided to make this, because of important bug fixes and improvements

e.g.
-- unified items manager with trash management / archive management
-- new scopes Date field and Archive Items Scope in universal module
-- category menu parameters in menu item for category/ author / my items
-- fixed some sh404sef issues
-- auto-check-in of items after a specified time
-- allow hiding ANY field in frontend/backend,
(this allows you e.g. to hide some fields in the frontend , without them loosing their value)
-- for more please take a look at the SVN

really wanted to find time to make a changelog of new features and important fixes, but cannot do now

Update: Added the new install.php in r1419
FLEXIContent - v2.0 - RC7 r1419 final (except search):
code.google.com/p/flexicontent/downloads/list

thank for all
go to help for debug !!

The JavaScript validation process caused an error and thus the item form could not be submitted, fixed it in r1420

Please get r1420:
code.google.com/p/flexicontent/downloads/list

is formidable!

Note:
For translating fields, tags and files via Falang (a form of Joomfish for J2.5), download the content elements here:
flexicontent.org/download/all-do ... 0-j25.html
these work in backend, i am testing for the translations to appear in frontend

Also for those that will choose to translate their items via Falang (note the item extra fields will remain untranslatable), i will enable edit of all translations inside the item edit form (this feature already exists for Joomfish in J1.5, and is inactive in J2.5)

Hi, are you sure that Falang is a feasible way to go? JoomFish for 2.5 is making (slow though) progress. Once on Falang, there is no way back to JoomFish because JoomFish for 2.5 is using the new native Joomla (as far as I understood) way to store translation, which should be much better to use with FlexiContent.

Yes it is possible. (We do it already in J1.5 version !!!)

J2.5 user selects on each individual site what he will use:

-- but he must install Falang OR Joomfish in J2.5

Choice 1: full item translations with associations of translated content and switching of the fly via FLEXIcontent Advance Route or via Joomfish for J2.5

Choice 2: old but easier approach which does not translate extra fields , but you can edit all translations in a single FLEXIcontent item edit form (where you are presented with one tab per language for title, description, meta data). In this case Falang replaces the translated data when the item / category is presented in the frontend, like Joomfish did in J1.5

NOTE:
J2.5 approach of giving a language to each article (=item) , is the approach that FLEXIcontent had from the beginning ...,

now Joomfish for J2.5 uses an approach of (a) associating items together and (b) switching the in the frontend,

-- we have both of these already implemented (not only for J2.5 but for J1.5 too !!!), i mean with FLEXIcontent v1.5.6 in J1.5 with Advanced Route Plugin, you can use what Joomfish will do in J2.5

hi, ggppdk, and other flexifans
some people from our (Russian) forum cant understand:
1) why aliases of items and categories have lead digits (in 1.5 routing works without it, if i remember correctly)

2) what is "advanced routing"?
they try activate it and hope what it help them make shorten URLs but they fail

thanks )

1. mmm, You mean SEF URLs ?

2. You mean Advanced Router SYSTEM plugin?
I have taken time to write good description inside the plugin

ALSO, while fixing bugs for v1.5.6a and v2.0a,

I have decided to commit almost finished features:

- Finished advanced import management Tab with highly customiozed format
a. multi-value fields values
b. multi-property per field value

- (Mostily Finished) Porting author management Tab to J2.5 , to customize author views and support displaying as author description:
a. Community builder profile
b. Contant info
c. a FLEXIContent item

- Advanced support for suggesting images to facebook and the other social sites

- Subscription sites support, to allow fields to be edited by people that e.g. pay for them, via a new ACL Action "editfieldvalue"

- Advanced notification emails (Global, per category, per Content Type), for items in pending Publication Approval, and documents pending reviews

- MAYBE (now) image field to act as image gallery (multiple images with description and everything ...)
with direct usage of files from a folder[/b] WITHOUT adding them to the file manager

- MAYBE (now) finish a powerful slideshow template for FLEXIcontent module

AND must add documentation of many new features, (they already have inline popup help of course but there are various undocumented features for developers too)
