Hello we will study the relation field (relation reverse) of Flexicontent. This field is realy a powerfull field to create a link between multiple content. It is powerfull because it dynamic reversing ... in many extensions it only one way value. With flexicontent its a two way system.

We can use it for many thing :

• Artiste / Album / song
• User / Publication
• Showcase
• Product
• Forum
• Ticket system
• Job Board

.....

We will study 2 cases, Artist directory, JobBoard.

Artist directory

It important to create a clean structure to use relation field. In this case we need to create 2 types :

• Artist for his photo, birdthay, city etc ...
• Album for jacket, title, duration, audio, date etc

1. Create a type "Artist"
   1. Change title label for Name
   2. Change description label for Bio
2. Add fields for Artist
   1. Portrait : image field in mono value
   2. Birthday date : date field
   3. Galerie : image field in multivalue + mix video and image
      
      
   4. City of birthday :  text field
   5. Type of music : Textselect because is more flexible to add value in field
      Now you can mix existing value and custom value !!
   6. Awards : weblink in multivalue
      Allow adding imageset target
      
      
      
   7. Discographie : a relation field to Album type
   8. etc.....
3. Create a type "Album"
4. Add fields for Album
   1. Picture : image field in mono value
   2. Publication date : date field
   3. Productor : can be a text field or textselect field or an other relation field to a productor type
   4. Track name : text with fieldgroup option
   5. Duration : text with mask for time and fieldgroup option
   6. Author music : text fieldgroup option
   7. Author lyrics : text fieldgroup option
   8. Mp3 : for this we have a lot of solution ... (file field, text field with mp3 player plugin tec ...), i use file field
      And i create template for display an mp3
   9. Tracks : now we can create fieldgroup with multivalue for all tracks, user can add many tracks easier
   10. Number of sales
   11. Artist : a relation reverse to Artist

Now we can set values in item ....

For Artist

And for album

And we can create a display

Comming soon

We can expand this concept with Musical Label, productor etc ...

JobBoard

Comming soon
