How to get a content type field selector (one1one relation)

Hi there,

I'm completely new with Joomla and FLEXIcontent. Hope you could give me a hand.

Let's say I have two content types, Candidate and Candidacy, what I'm trying to do is to get a candidates selector in the Candidacy form.

Up to now, I have created a Relation type field in Candidacy specifying the Candidate type as items. And I get a multiple selector filtered by category. I'm not interested in categories since the contents will not be categorized and one candidancy just can have one candidate. I just want a simple selector of candidates.

Is this possible to do using FLEXIContent fields?

Thanks.

Hello

you want to display the "type selector" inside the item (article) form so that you can specify an automatic relation inside the item form ?

Yes, I want a selector where you could select the candidate inside of a candidacy. Both content types.

Hello

there is a yet unreleased "automatic-relations" field to show any field as relation filter inside item form


this creates an 1 to many relation

-- and also instead of showing the filters in item form, you can set locked values for them, defining various types of relations


e.g. relate to typeA if also item has value N in field19


this is not publicly available yet and will be in December, if this is the only thing missing by your project and if the above description matches your needs, then you may send a PM to me with your email and you can have it for testing

Regards

Hello again,

Thank you very much for your reply, but since FLEXIContent doesn't give us the functionalities we need (and gives us other good ones that we don't need), we have decided to implement our little component so it can be more customizable.

Thanks anyway.

Regards!

Hello

thanks for feedback and reply, i wish you good work in your component, indeed a reason i got involved in FLEXIcontent is to be able to shape it to my needs and ideas (although many are not yet implemented), just it proved to be more work that initially anticipated

Regards
