Incorrect placement/behaviour of extra field

Same page as before: www.liberaltkalejdoskop.se/index.php/52-...-vart-aer-vi-pa-vaeg
I've added two extra fields, one with mulitple URLs one with multiple comments.

On the pubished page one of each is displayed before the article, despite the fact that they are positioned after the article in the template.
Also, on the pubished page I see only one URL+ comment despite the fact that I have two in the article "backend".
Looking at the preview of the article I see that comments/URLs fields correctly positioned after the article. However, I see two URLs and only one comment.

Have I found a bug, or am I messing things up somehow?

Hello

you are using Joomla article view
so
- fields are appended after description, without some special layout
- comments are added to "com_content" component


1. you can go to FLEXIcontent types manager and select to always route/redirect the type to "FLEXIcontent item view"
- just click to button at column "Joomla article view"

2. to convert existing comments to "com_flexicontent",
go to Joomla installer and re-upload (aka reapply) the FLEXIcontent package,
during installation it will convert the comments


-- Flexicontent is Free but involves a big effort on our part.
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?

Ah that easy =) Thanks.

Here though I think I was a bit unclear in what I meant (or I am misunderstanding your reply).
What I've done is:
  • added one URL field which allows multiple entries.
  • added one text field which allows multiple entries
These will be filled by me, not from comments. As can now be seen in the correct place, when I add multiple "follow-up" URLs to the article, I do see the multiple URL entries but the multiple text fields are rolled into one (which made me initially think it didn't post both. This makes it slightly confusing as to what the the URLs are refering to.




EDIT: OK: After posting the pics, I notice that what makes it confusing is that the URLs are definite entries easily seperated, whilte the text isn't. So the question should be rephrased to something like "is it possible to seperate entries more clearly".

Hello

All fields have these parameters inside the "Viewing" TAB:

Every value prefix
Every value suffix
Value separator (frontend views)
Opening text for Field
Closing text for Field

- some have a parameter "Preset configuratons" to preload some examples
- some have custom layout files, for the value display loop (slowly all fields will get this)
