Article in article [SOLVED]

In Flexicontent we call articles as items since we can have many types of content.

ok, now about what you asked, you want inside an item 'A' to display an item 'B'.

What micker suggested is this:
(DO NOT DO this method in FLEXIcontent versions prior to v1.5.6)
1. create a new Universal FLEXIcontent module 'M', and set it to show item 'B' (or anything else you want)
2. edit the module 'M' to be displayed in a non-existing position e.g. just write in position parameter the word 'nowhere' and click save
3. create a new FLEXIcontent field 'F' of Type 'Load Module', and set it to display this module 'M'
4. goto template manager and click to edit the 'Item Layout' of the template that the item 'A' uses, place the new field 'F' in any position

You are done.

But BE WARE,
-- If you assign field 'F' to item 'B' e.g. if item 'B' is same type as item 'A',
then DO NOT do any of these 2 things:[/b]

a. do not set global option Performance parameter 'Always create field html' to anything different than 'only when needed'
b. do not add field 'F' to the fields that the module 'M' displays

if you do (a) or (b) or both , then you will get an infite loop and your page will never be created

Maybe i will put code in the Universal module to detect this case and avoid the loop.

Great other way

Thanks, works (almost) perfectly. The only issue is, that it just shows a list with only one item, which is a link to the item I want to include.

How can I make it show the entire content of the item, maybe even with the title wrapped in a h3 element?

did you use module solution ?

Yes, I did, the method ggppdk specified above.

1. change layout PARAMETER of the module to be 'news'
2. set number of featured items to be zero
3. at display items list slider , select the fields of that you want to display, be careful put the field names in the standard box, not in the featured box
