2-part category titles

Hi,

I'd like to create categories from names of people, so that the title is "Name Surname", but occasionally I can list them off like "Surname, Name". Is that possible with Flexicontent?


thank you

Categories or articles? Articles is possible with FC using fields. Categories might also be possible but with php programming.

This is a kind of too specific to be supported out of the box

You speak of reordering some words of a string e.g.

<?php
$words = preg_split("/[\s]*/", $category_name);
echo @$words[1] .','. @$words[0];
?>

but the string name to split depends on where you want to do it.

Thank you for your replies.

I'm trying to build a website where certain products of different types can be sorted into the categorie of the author. Making the author the title of the category seemed the easiest way for later editors, but there's probably another way.

After I imported the items, as suggested after the installation of Flexicontent, suddenly every page has a block like this added to it, right after the title:



How can I get rid of this?


thank you

You have to disable this in the global FlexiContent settings.

Thanks Rooney, for taking time to read / answer forum, slowly this give some benefit back

i think the question is different,

This what is happening,

-- your item is no longer displayed by Joomla article component but it is displayed by FLEXIcontent,

Do this:
1. Go to backend and open the content Type of you items, e.g. article
2. at bottom you will see the (item) template layout used to display the items of this content type
3. It looks like the template used is the template 'default', goto to template management and edit the item layout of 'default' template, AND remove (drag to remove) the fields that you do not need

In short by editing appropriate template you will be able to control what appears when your frontend item(article) view
