Show an article multiple time according to date field was created by nowid50

Hello,

I am trying to make an event list. I am facing a simple problem, my client wants to show an item per day.

I have a content type "Event" with a field "Date" with multiple values. And I would like to have an item per value of this field.

For example, I have two events :

Music with some artist, dates : 2016-01-14,2016-01-15
Cycling around the lake, dates : 2016-01-15

These two items would show 3 items in the category view :

Music with some artist (2016-01-14)
Music with some artist (2016-01-15)
Cycling around the lake(2016-01-15)

Is it possible to do it easily with Flexicontent or do I need to do one article per day ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

- it is relative easy to do in every page,

Just above the item loop in category_items(_html5).php add:

Code:

$field_id = 555;
$date_to_items = array();
foreach( $items as $item )
{
  if ( !$item->fieldvalues[$field_id]) ) continue;
  foreach( $item->fieldvalues[$field_id] as $theDate)
  {
     $date_to_items[$theDate][] = $item;
  }
}

Then change the loop to:

Code:

foreach( $items as $item )
{

to be:

Code:

foreach( $date_to_items as $_date $item )
{
  echo '<div class="alert alert-info">'$date .'</div>';
  ... // normal item display but without the date field in any template position
}

- the question is do you want to do it
per page or to show all items of the category in a single page thus collect all items of specific dates
