Presenting Content items in relation to one another

This is a kind of item scoping "=selecting items" is tricky but i think it is possible with FLEXIcontent module,

First make sure that your:
cities items, are of 'City' Content Type
events items, are of 'Event' Content Type
news items, are of 'News' Content Type

Create 2 -new- FLEXIcontent modules (i repeat NEW one, to avoid problems with already forgotten parameters you may have set):

a. in the first of the two modules enable Type scope (set Method to "include") and Select "Event"
b. in the second of the two modules enable Type scope (set Method to "include") and Select "News"

c. In both modules go to categories scope (do not touch Method parameter) and in Behavior parameter set "Items is same category", and in Extra categories set it to "Children Categories"

Now one module will show related events and the other related "news" of the currently displayed item

Remember to have the structure you described
item of type city belongs to cat-A and cat-A has sub cats:
"cat-B" that contains "events" and
"cat-C" that contains "news"

Please post feedback here, to lets us now of the result

Ok sidebar -a and -b displays only these 3 warnings

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\wamp\www\test1.org\modules\mod_flexicontent\helper.php on line 1411

Warning: array_unique() expects parameter 1 to be array, integer given in C:\wamp\www\test1.org\modules\mod_flexicontent\helper.php on line 1434

Warning: implode() [<a href='function.implode'>function.implode</a>]: Invalid arguments passed in C:\wamp\www\ test1.org\modules\mod_flexicontent\helper.php on line 836


Here is the setup

Category tree
National -> CityA -> CityA_News
National -> CityA -> CityA_Events
National -> CityB -> CityB_News
National -> CityB -> CityB_Events

Item Type
- City News (has CityA News / CityB News (items))
- City Events (has CityA Events / CityB Events (items))

Both Flexi Uni modules have

Type scope:
- Method (include)
- Select Type (City News and City Events (respectively))
- Behavior (static)

Category Scope:
- Method (all)
- Behavior (Items in same category)
- Extra Cats (Children)

Ok, this is a bug

please test this fix:

in file helper.php of the module
change line 832 (r1514) to
You may want to latest, which includes the fix:

Get latest FLEXIcontent RC9a r1457 for J1.5 / J2.5

with fixed/improved advanced search, and new Content lists Filter module

from here

Hi George,

This has fixed the issue and I'm happy to say it is working very well.

Will test further.

By the way I see the fix involves the array directive
Is this related to a version of php.


Again thank you very much!

No it is just a bug,

just the function expects an array to be given.
