[solved] filterable file-field in backend? was created by kath

hi!

i am wondering if it is possible to configure a BE-column to display a custom field of type "file" to just show whether or not there is a file. (I'm talking about BE > FC > Items.)

I'm trying to create an excel-like filter that i can set to 'empty' or 'not empty' instead of seeing all the attachment-names of my items.

I see that in the type-config > "Items Manager Configuration" > "Custom Fields for Items List" the tooltip says something about setting a "display variable" to other than "display". What would that be? And am i looking in the right direction here?

thanks a lot!

Yes you can add the fieldname there and display it e.g. add myfilefield

-- about custom display variable for file field, current there is only the default variable ('display')

so you can use:
myfieldfield
OR
myfieldfield:display

-- about filter of items that or do not have value on custom fields, this is something that is not currently available, but it is possible to implement in future version

-- 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?
