hello

I have updated the last version (RC9-1576)
2 problems :

1 - I have created a new category. the right column shows all template parameter. When I choose a template type all templates parameters remain and I can't close the tab.

2 - I have an image in an image/gallery field. I have a menu showing all articles from 1 category.
I use the image in the description.
In the category I don't get the image. In background I get it.

I have chosen the small thumbnails :
the background address (good one) : mages/stories/flexicontent/item_928_field_101/s_hanoukka_html_76e8a8b2.jpg

In the public the address is : images/stories/flexicontent/s_hanoukka_html_76e8a8b2.jpg
(the item-id/category-id has desappeared).

FOr the image I use a specifical directry for each article.

I have downloaded to RC9-1574 the problem is the same.
On a another site using the RC 1573 no problem.

How can I correct it.

Do you speak of a category template that is a copy of blog template?

Please update your template , old templates are not aware of the new image/gallery field

The site has been developped with Jomal 1.5 and Flexicontent 1.5... (an old version).

Now the site a J2.5.8 one and I have transfered the articles with NetAssoPro transfer component to Flexicontent 2.

How can I create a new blog template. I have copied the template directory from another site but I dont get the icons at the right site of the templates page.

Also, in the category page I get the template parameters for all templates default template type not only the one I want to use.
thank you for help

best regards
Michel

If you use and old blog template then image fields using folder-mode cannot be used

To use image field in new folder-mode you need the new updated blog template!!

Please first, test with new blog template

I have copied the blog category to a new template name.
I have deleted all files contained in this new directory
I have copied all files from blog template of another J2.5/Flexicontent 2.RC9 1573 site to this category.

Its working now.
thank you.

I have just one remaining problem on the category management page :

On my other site when I open the management category On the layout tab I get only the current template chosen and I can close this tab.

On my problematic site I get numerous template parameters and I can't close the tab.
May I risk getting problems in this case ?

Any broken XML template file will cause this

if your templates were used in J1.5 please update them to be XML for J2.5 , you only have to replace a few tag names in the XML file just open a valid one to see

before creating a mess I need some explanation or confirmation.

presently when I am in category management I get in the category template select field : all templates which are in the template management
and after I get the parameters for all templates which seem to be Flexicontent 2. (quizzcategories, blog, default, faq, item_tabbed, old__blog, old_default, old__faq, old__presentation, presentation)

Quizzcategorie is the template I have created from blog template yesterday and I have been obliged to copy the directory content of another site to get a valid image in the public access.

All my other templates which I think are default model don't appear in the parameters column.

If I change the XML category file for those templates
will I get only the chosen template parameters and not
all FC 2 templates parameters ?

___________________

I want also to be sure of what I need to do with XML FILES

A default type template for my FC 1.5 contains this :
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <metadata> <author>Emmanuel Danan</author> <website>www.flexicontent.org</website> <email>emmanuel@vistamedia.fr</email> <license>GPLv2</license> <version>1.1</version> <release>25 november 2009</release> <description>This layout presents category items in a table. Each field put in the table position will be rendered as a column</description> <params addpath="/administrator/components/com_flexicontent/elements"> </params> <fieldgroups> <group>table</group> </fieldgroups> <csscategory> <file>css/category.css</file> </csscategory> <jscategory> </jscategory> </metadata>

do I need to remplace the XML file by this :
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <form> <author>Emmanuel Danan</author> <website>www.flexicontent.org</website> <email>emmanuel@vistamedia.fr</email> <license>GPLv2</license> <version>1.1</version> <release>25 november 2009</release> <description>This HTML5 layout presents category items in a table.

thank you for explanation
best regards
Michel

It is what the FAQ article says,
same as for:
Code:
<params addpath="/administrator/components/com_flexicontent/elements"> ... </params>
with
Code:
<fields name="attribs"> <fieldset name="attribs" addfieldpath="/administrator/components/com_flexicontent/elements"> ... </fieldset> </fields>

just in your case you do not have parameter:
addpath="/administrator/components/com_flexicontent/elements"
