select, mulitple-select, checkbox, checkboximage, radio, radioimage

to also support linking?

Yes, it's exactly that ! It will be very very very nice ! :)

About your solution it is good, except that you need edit the template if you add more values to the field,

also performance impact it is none
unless hundreds of values assigned to each item and you have a category view with hundreds of items per page

It's my problem at the time being : I have to create a lot of links, and edit the item.php every time, and the source code will become very very long... :?

If we can add link (and why not item ID too) to each values of "selection type field" (checkbox, select list...) it give me life easier, really, and I think this new feature will be very nice for multiple reasons :P

Thank in advance. :)

Hello,
the links must be fixed ones and reusable?
so that item editor will select from these without being allowed to enter links of his/her own?

or can the item editor write the links, in this case maybe it could be comfortable to use the weblink or the extended-weblink field?

Hello,

In my case it's only to put an url on a value field (and possibly to change it when I want).

Example for select list multiple or checkbox (or others) :
1::value1::link1%% 2::value2::link2%% etc.

So only the field manager (administrators and those who is allowed to edit fields) can edit these links in field parameters.

I have a type template which display many field values (by selectionning it with list multiple, checkbox...), and I simply wish that some values could be a link to an item or an external url. :)

Hello,

I wish to know if this feature is in the TODO list for a next release of Flexicontent.
I still think this feature would be very handy for multiple purposes.
Thank you. :)

Hello,

even changes that may seem small may lead to bugs, and much more time that we might have anticipated initially:
