Problem with side bar was created by Ponyboy

I purchased an extension that places a PayPal cart button on an article page but since installing Flexicontent the extension does not appear on the edit page for articles.
How can I get the once available extension to appear again?

Hello

this extension is what ?

a content plugin ?

if so,
- please goto FLEXIcontent backend tabs "Fields"

- edit description field,
1. make sure that plugin Triggering is enabled,
2. make sure you select NONE plugins in the plugin list
3. click save (must save even if above appear ok)

If it is a module then make sure your module appears in FLEXIcontent pages,

I can not find Plugin triggering to enable and it is not in the field list. Where would I add this to the field list?

Also, there is a warning message that tells me to recalculate the basic search index because 8 fields are dirty.
What does this require...recalculating?

Yes, it is not in field list, because it is not a field, it is a parameter

please first do this

(please reread my above answer)

about recalculating search index, you can do that in the "search indexes" tab

quick2cart will be fully compatible with flexicontent

Hello

J2store has checks not to work if current component is not com_content , thus it will not work with ANY CCK

despite that because FLEXIcontent takes extra steps for this case , it should work , send me a PM a specific example:

e.g.
- edit article no 451
- add in description {product:41}
- view article in frontend
