Template Help, Please! was created by matthewschenker

Hello,
I have just started using FlexiContent, and I am very impressed with its capabilities. I've tried Zoo, K2, Seblod, and Form2Content, and FlexiContent comes close to what I'm trying to accomplish.

I really like a lot about FlexiContent. It's got a really intuitive way of creating fields and types, and front-end submission system makes a lot of sense.

However, I'm baffled by the templates. I've copied the "default" template and made my own content type, then used the drag-and-drop functions to put fields into the template. But on the front end, the fields do not show up anywhere near the right order, the "Save" button doesn't work, and there are lots of bits and pieces of functions that don't make sense.

Can someone please point me in the direction of some template documentation?

Thanks,
Matthew

FLEXIcontent is Free but involves a very big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite being huge extension) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

micker,
I have seen the French instructions, but I don't speak French, I'm embarrassed to admit.

I'm sure I am not the only English-speaking person here who needs help with templates. Where do we get information?

I like what I see with FlexiContent, but I can't yet figure out the template concepts.

Thanks,
Matt

Micker,
Google translate kind of gets an idea, but a lot of the details are still rather obscure.

I am able to follow the materials for the XML and CSS work, which I am good with generally. But when it comes to the advanced PHP changes, I get lost.

Thanks,
Matthew

it's realy simple
1 create a position in xml

Code:

<group>my-position</group>

2 code position in your view (item.php) in good position

Code:

<!-- BOF my-position -->
<div id="my-position">
  <?php if (isset($this->item->positions['my-position'])) : ?>
    <?php foreach ($this->item->positions['my-position'] as $champ) : ?>
      <div class="champ_<?php echo $champ->name; ?>">
      <?php if ($champ->label) : ?>
        <div class="etiquette"><?php echo $champ->label; ?></div>
      <?php endif; ?>
      <div class="valeur"><?php echo $champ->display; ?></div>
      </div>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
  <?php endif; ?>
</div>
<!-- EOF my-position -->

3 clean cache
4 assigne your template at your item or categorie
5 in template configuration drag and drop your field in your position
6 tune with css
