Hi, I'm moving a 12 year old VM site (
www.minilps.net
) to new technology and am looking at FC as the replacement. VM does not provide me with the hierarchical structure I need. I've gone quite a long way with Flexicontent (
tarkus.rocks
) and I have created the structure BUT the relationships are many to many and, as such, there seems to be no native way to lead the user through the selection of the correct hierarchy.
What I want is:
a) User selects (or creates) an Artist (eg. ELP)
b) They then create one or more Albums (eg. Tarkus, Trilogy)
c) They than select one Album (eg. Tarkus)
d) They then create one or more Releases (eg. the original vinyl, the 1994 Japanese Mini LP, the standard jewel case)
With FC I can set it up so that I have the Artist and the Album on the Release (two separate "related items") but the user can happily select any Artist (eg. "AC/DC") with any album called (eg. "Pet Sounds").
Also, I have at least 22,000 releases and upwards of 5,000 Albums so having a drop down list with this many choices is not realistic.
Can I use FC to enforce a three (or more) level tree hierarchy without code / db hacks?
Many thanks, Sam.
