display article image in category list?

Hello,

I need a sort of enhanced category list than in normal joomla, with image and some more details of each article. So I searched and found your component flexi content.

Actually I would like to add some fields to each article: image, room size, room capacity. These 3 more fields should be displayed in category list additional to title of course.

Before trying and testing maybe hours, I would like to ask some pre sale questions, if this task can be done with it and if yes, how

.. flexicontent is free .. no pre sale question :lol: !
after take some time to read FAQ and tutorial !
www.flexicontent.org/documentation/faq.html
www.flexicontent.org/documentati ... rials.html
after
1 create a type (choose blog template)
2 create your fields for you type
3 create your category (choose blog template)
4 in template administration (flexicontent part) use category view of blog and drag and drop you field wanted !

Hello

basic usage is this FAQ article:
Starting with FLEXIcontent (Basic usage)



NOTE: if you want to display the INTRO and FULL images that you had added via JOOMLA article form , then please note that support of these is being added in v2.1.3 final, soon to come out, so you can use them yet.

Thank you both for your replies.

I installed flexi content and tried to setup everything like described in your tutorials and answers. But I experienced a lot of issues

Flexi content changed backend language partially to english (these parts that are affected by flex content) and I did not find how to change that again to my language. So I ended up in a confusing mix language backend.

Similar issue in frontend. But frontend is even more confusing, not only because of language mix, but also because of a lot of details that should not be visible in front end. Worst of all is, that I can edit everything in front end now, without being logged in? Is this really your default setting to let public edit existing articles and add new ones?

Last not least I could not find how to display articles of a certain category in list view. They are displayed like blog view only.

I am confused and frustrated a little bit. Seems like too complicated to me.

realy think to read tutorail ...
language package are in download section
for article type => go to template default and drag and drop unwanted filed
courage

I already read all 6 tutorials, but none of them explain category layout or article list. And that's one of the issues I have. I just want a handy list like joomla does native in category view but add some fields to that list. But instead it generates a blog layout (category). And it also changed my previous global article view settings completely, though I set "use global" everywhere. But these global settings seemed to be changed by flexi content. Why?

Content flex may able to do that task, but it is not very intuitive to me to handle and I cannot find sufficient documentation. Moreover flexi content changes a lot of joomla views in front end and back end so that things are a lot more complicated and more work from that point even if I do not use flexi content for the rest. I love joomla for being easy to use and to handle, but now article (item) and category manager has become very complicated through flexi content.
