3.1 Global configuration

Core of this component of the overall administration panel allows you to manage:

• 1 Générals option (performances, messages etc.)
• 2 display item (link on title, icons for RSS mail etc…)
• 3 display catégories (order, search, filters …)
• 4 submission form on front-end (tags, allow meta, etc.)
• 5 display table of items in backend (columns, order etc.)
• 6 Workflow (email notification, statut of items etc.)
• 7 ACL Permissions in FLEXIcontent

All these settings work very hierarchical manner:
• Default settings in GLOBAL CONFIGURATION
• override capability options in the configuration of TYPES for item display
• override capability options in the configuration CATEGORIE to display list of items
• override capability options in the configuration LINKS MENU to override the setting of catégorie or type
We can very easily present the same category or the same content in different aspects.

3.2 Types

For each type, you can choose a whole range of options as possible template, language management, reporting system etc..

It is important to first define the type of content before you begin your project (eg sheet property for sale, artist sheet, recipe card etc..)

Each type may affect the view fields that you create later.

1 "Parametres" you can set the display of the title of the RSS icons, permissions for this type of template etc..

2 "Customize : Description"

You will be able to define and translate the label and set the size of the editing area
To translate a field just create a value like this [fr]=label in french
ex : [FR]=label in french [en]=label in EN[default]=default label (without line brake)

3 "Customize: Title, Created(by), Modified(by), Document Type"

In the same way you go to Custom field title, by creating, modify and Type

4 "Customize: Hits, Version, State, Voting, Favourites, Tags"
The same goes for the number of click, version, status, votes, and the favorite keywords

5 "SEO parametres" allows to better manage your SEO

6 "Item form" will manage the form of the public part of the site. It allows to choose if tags are editable, if  meta etc. will be available. This configuration will take precedence over the global configuration

7 "Email notification", allow you to set notification rules and validation rules specifically for this type.

8 "Items Manager Configuration" ,enables to define the fields available for this type (this is a very specific configuration, do not use if you do not know exactly what you are doing)

9 "Layout Selection" to select the item template for this type.
It is here that we attribute to the categorie template. (You can override this option through the Joomla menu link)

10 "Layout Configuration" : specific settings for the selected template, you can generally choose whether to display the system fields such as vote, the author, etc..

11 WARNING since version 2.0.1 FLEXIcontent content type handles permissions of joomla 2.5, is to say that you can restrict the view of some type of item based on a Joomla ACL.
Permissions allow you to work on access edit mode, change etc..

12 Access drop-down list allows you to manage whether to display a standard front-end, according to a user or user group.
