Hi,

I have to create a menu item to display automatically in a blog view only items from one category and all child categories where the specific date field is newer than today (not yet released).

How can I do that?

Joomla 2.5.6
Flexicontent 2.0 RC8 r1461

Such "Scoping" capabilities is currently only available via Universal module

I understand that it is not possible with a menu choice but how can I select the items on a blog?

If it is possible in the module it must be possible in a blog view with a query?

By the way I must sort the releases by date and the module can't do that for the moment.

I will explain my needs to everybody so maybe someone have a bright idea to help me.

In my category (films), I have all the film distributed past, present and future.

The date of the release is stored is a date field called release

In my blog I would like to show only the present and past items (about 98% of the category) and at the bottom of the blog I have a Flexicontent module with a scope on the release field to show the future releases.

GGPPDK propose me to use the module for the past releases too.

But I will have pages and the module can't do that.

All suggestions are welcome.

FLEXIcontent module has the SCOPING you need, you said that reason not using is because you need custom field ordering (e.g. by date field)?
