Item name result of two other value fields

Hi,

Please can you help me

It is possible that the item name field be the result of two other fields junction?

I have two text fields (Marca (field17) and Modelo - (field18)) and I want that item name be Marca «space» Modelo.

Example:
Marca: Opel
Modelo: Astra
Name: Opel Astra

In this case I need not to fill the name field (It would populate automatically)

Can this be done? Suggestions

Thanks for all
Best Regards

Hello

is this for display purpose only ?

1. you can create a text field, with label "Name"

2. Set field to be "Form hidden" (at left of the field edit form) in both frontend and backend forms
==> you do not want this to be editable in the form

3. set a default value:
 

and configure the usage of the default, to be:
"The above and also display instead of empty"

4. in value prefix, use:
{{field17}} {{field18}



Note this can not be used as a filter since it has no values ... you will have to use the other 2 fields

Thanks for quick reply ggppdk,

Tell me something more...
That new field "Name" can replace the Title field joomla core or I'll have always give a title (even if not use) to a new item?
Other thing, it´s possible that new "name" in category view be a link to article view?

Best regards

Hello

you will have to edit your FLEXIcontent template

and place the field around a link

before i tell you more, please study a little our templating tutorials

Hi ggppdk,

Since your last reply I created a field name "titulo" that is result of two others fields (marca and modelo).
I will use this field only in category view, but I that this field shoul be a link to that item in item view.
It is possible? How can do that?

Thanks

Hello

1. create a new field, by following instructions from here:
e.g. duplicate text field

How to Duplicate a Flexicontent Field to create a new Field Type


2. zip it and install via Joomla installer, then go to plugin manager and enabled it or relogin and visit FLEXIcontent backend and you will be asked to publish it


3. Use

4.

After doing (and correcting) the above you can do any other manipulation that you need because you have a NEW FIELD TYPE)


-- now we are doing a highly anticipated feature field grouping that even allows grouping very COMPLEX fields e.g. image/gallery field with other fields (text, textarea, select, weblink, radio, radioimage, etc),



this discussion brings back the idea of a combination field which is surely a lot easier than the new field group feature !!


if you are you a developer then the above instructions should be relative easy to follow

Onde agains thanks a lot

I made two first steps. I called the new field "link".
Where I put your code? In link.php?
You gave me two codes for the same function (onDisplayField). I have to put both in link.php overwritting the original code?
I have to install first and put the code after?
Thanks

i think you need to learn php coding process ...
we can't do a custom plugin for you search more

I know that and I'm trying. But now I have something urgent to solve and need your help. Please...

Thanks
