How to create a new template position

Hi there,

I am trying to create my first flexicontent custom template

I created the positions in the item.xml file.

i can see these positions inside the template. I assinged fields to these positions but I am unable to see these fields at the moment. Could you please let me know what I am missing here.
Thank you.

Did you create position in your php ?

I couldn't create it because I am not really sure which php file I need to add the position to.

I have tried looking into some template tutorials but it skipped that part.

Thank you.

Hello

1. file to edit for category view:
(also used by effects my-items and author views)

category_items.php
and/or category_items_html5.php

2. file to edit for item view:

item.php
and/or item_html5.php


Just find a block :

// BOF (Begin)
...
// EOF (End)

which contains an existing position

copy paste it and change it to have the new position name:

Hi there,

This is what I have at the moment inside the item.php


I could not find these lines

// BOF (Begin)
...
// EOF (End)

Thank you.

Hello

e.g.
<!-- BOF above-description-line1 block -->
..............
<!-- EOF above-description-line1 block -->

it is different in every template,

copy code of item.php (in tmpl_common) in your item.php
after you can do your position

I could not find item.php in templ_common

THis is the pathway I followed
/components/com_flexicontent/tmpl_common/item_layouts
I have a modular.php and modular html5. These are the files am I after?
Thank you

I think I figured it out...THis is just amazing...

I can place an image field and text field.

Image can float right and text field can just be old boring text field BUT it does not effect image.

+ you dont need to float right the image everytime you create an article. Thank you flexicontent

Hi there,

I have created the template but I would like to create a table inside a content. How can I create a table so that it can be submitted using front end?

The idea is to simplify the table creation process so that users do not need to deal with wyswig editor to create an add content to table. thank you.
