Hi!
I'm newbie with flexicontent. I've tested K2, SobiPro, Mosets Tree and other CCK and Directory components, but not satisfied with them.
So I have some questions about flexicontent.
1. Is it possible to create classifieds site using flexicomponent?
2. Can unregistered users add classifieds? If yes, can they edit classifieds later using special code from email?
3. Is it real to add 10 or more images to classified? Is it real to add images in batch mode (select and add 10 images in one step)
4. Is it real to integrate payed system? For example pay for promoted (favorites) classifieds?
5. Does flexicontent support dynamic dependent fields?
For example user select USA, next filed display USA states, then user select state and next field displays citys from selected state?

Yes, furthermore FLEXIcontent supports versioning + basic workflow for approving new and changed content

but you will have to plan and configure FLEXIcontent yourself , i say this because you made this forum post , asking some questions, that would have been obvious if you have used FLEXIcontent for a few hours

Yes, you will need v2.1.0 r1742(v2.1.0 will be announced soon)
code.google.com/p/flexicontent/downloads/list
it supports CAPTCHA and ACL for creating Content Types,

-- but users cannot edit items they submit, they need to register, this may be done in a future version, but maybe not , too many things depend on user permissions, and if we add we will have request for parameters to disable changing category, to disallow unpublishing, etc,

Use FLEXIcontent image/gallery field, and set it in "Folder mode", you will see how powerful it is,

-- currently uploading only one image at a time (despite being easy to add ZIP upload this is not done yet)

Yes, you could use a joomla plugin for cart functionality, but there is no tutorial for doing this

it "supports" such fields ... but no such built-in field is included with FLEXIcontent distribution package

Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Thanks you for the fast answer!

I tried this field. My opinion - this is unuseful and slow.
I made this short video - adding images in adsmanager.

it "supports" such fields ... but no such built-in field is included with FLEXIcontent distribution package


I can't understand... How to get dynamic dependent fields? It payed option? How I can test it?

About image gallery field it compares to stand alone galleries. And in regards to content integration, there is no other content integrated solution more powerful than it. Reading carefully the description of all parameter of it, will reveal it. The amount of work spent to develop it , is same as implemening uploading zip 57 times.

About cascade fields, no it is not available, it is easy to implement basic functionality as this , but we do not want quick hacks. When implemented it will a proper powerful implementation. A quick implementation can be done by creating a custom field by a developer

Regards
