Hello.

I've heard very good comments about Flexicontent, so prior to start learning how this CCK works, I want to know if it fits my requirements. This is what I need:

- In the backend: Create/Retrieve/Edit/Delete records (with many different field types) for each registered user. For example, a table of monthly activities, with date, title, description, invested hours, amount paid, etc.

- In the frontend: Users can view only their related data (after login) and filter the records of the table. It would be desirable the ability to print data to pdf.

- In the frontend: Users can edit only certain fields of the table (with a form), according with the configured rules.

- In frontend: Forms must have a good validation mechanism to avoid wrong data to be entered.

- In the frontend: Forms can perform some calculations after data submission and that calculation are stored in the database.

Is all this possible with Flexicontent ?

Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.

You can edit/save 1 record at a time, not multiple records

- In the frontend: Users can view only their related data (after login) and filter the records of the table. It would be desirable the ability to print data to pdf.

This functionality was removed from Joomla 2.5+
maybe one of these will work with FC:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... rint-a-pdf

- In the frontend: Users can edit only certain fields of the table (with a form), according with the configured rules.

FLEXIcontent has the "edit value" privilege in every field, you can set which user-groups can edit the field value in item form

- In frontend: Forms must have a good validation mechanism to avoid wrong data to be entered.

All FLEXIcontent fields have validation,
- required
- min/max number of values (some fields)
- various allowed formats (e.g. text field)
you will have to check if a particular field fits your needs

- In the frontend: Forms can perform some calculations after data submission and that calculation are stored in the database.
Is all this possible with FLEXIcontent ?

- no "calculation" field exists
You will have to develop a custom field (you or a hired developer):

-- Flexicontent is Free but involves a big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?
