Is it possible to create this?

• Automated Field-Links (a klick filters on same field values)

They are my favourites in MightyExtensions Resources, and those hold me from switching to Drupal
Do you have any plans or the technical base for adding similar features in flexiContent?

Whoah... If I'm reading those extension right they sound along the lines of the functionality I'm aiming for.

MightyExtensions currently has some server problems ;-(
If you want some detailed infos, there is an online documentation:

help.mightyextensions.com/resources/

You will find "relation" under ->Fields->Using Field Plugins->Advanced Fields:
help.mightyextensions.com/resour ... plugin.htm

Attention: Relation belongs to the Advanced Fields. So, you have to buy a license for Advanced Resources.

There is also a Video Tutorial in the support area of the homepage.
To get a better insight, you can download the (very feature-rich!) FREE version of resources.

Thanks for the information. I'm not sure if I'm going to go the route of using a variety of Joomla components (as I'm not even running Joomla), but rather focus on all-in-one extensions like Flexi, Sobi2, Zoo, or another system that will be extensible enough to run my concept.

But I will definitely look into those two extensions at the very least to assist in better describing what I need.

You are welcome! I know your situation very well

A decision is very hard and depends on many factors. Joomla itself is easy but limited, BUT it shines on pre-build 3rd-party solutions. So, if your concept fits into one of those special solutions, they might be the right choice... though they might need some customizations and modifications (SOBI, jReviews etc.) They all deal with similar data, but the goals and functions are totally different. You can think of ME Resources (plus their other extensions) as a lower level of a full solution or ready-build application. You can mimic and re-build almost any custom solution with it. Especially for 50%coders like me, it opens many possibilities with out hiring a bunch of php-gurus

If you are not focused or limited to the joomla CMS, i would suggest you to have a closer look on Drupal. To decribe it: Drupal is for CMSs – what Resources is for Joomla Seriously: Its really hard to explain in short.

Good Luck!

Hi ...
I have been with joomla for long time..
I use/used All CCK there, free and commercials..
But really Flexicontent is very promising. How?

Most important Pros for now (2.Dec.2009) are:

/- Its the best over all other CCK by Templating for front end customization.. feature all designers need and love.
/- Its the best over all other CCK by the way multi-mapping/Categorizing and the use of Joomla native Extensions.
/- The Upcoming Front-end submitting features will add many features to it over many Other CCK.
/- Possibilities to use the Flexicontent by itself for many top needed area is unique..
