Mechanism to compare items?

Hi there,

Those are definitely good examples of how it would be architected and huge data displayed. Another important thing to consider here is the business reason: why an organization want to allow their users to compare vastly dissimilar items. In other words, even though it is possible to create the ability to compare items that are not the same content type, would any FLEXIcontent customers want that capability? If so, why?

I can imagine that this would be needed if the creator of the web site had many different, but very similar content types. For example, a real estate site may have items for bank owned properties and items for normal sale properties. So while they are different types, they are still similar enough to warrant the ability to compare the properties based on price, location, size, etc.

Again, this is only valid if the web site creator has set up the content types to be similar enough that a comparison would provide value to the web site user.

Is that the scenario you envisioned?

Best regards,
Eric

Did anything ever come of this feature request? We're looking for a powerful CCK with the ability for a user to filter and/or compare items with hundreds of attributes. FlexiContent looks good but so far I don't see anything mentioned in the features about comparison capability.

Hello

despite this being rather little / medium work (1 days work + n days to debug/fix and !style! it)
it is still not done, it will be done added in next 1-2 months (we have an appropriate milestone (version) number for it

you cannot use it now
