Use fields from menu like the tags

Hi! I'm using flexicontent and I want to have on the joomla menu component support to add fields. At this time I have tags, category, directory, item and others, but not fields.

I use fields to add metadata to my contents and I want to add a menu that shows me a list of contents that have a specific field value.

Is this possible, or there is some hack/extension available? if not, where can I found documentation on how to make a extension for this?

I just made a little "change", and I can see "field" when I'm creating a new menu, but I don't know how to set the parameter on the link

index.php?option=com_flexicontent&view=fields

Also, I don't understand very well the components/com_flexicontent/views/..../view.html.php

Thanks

Hi,

If your field can be filtered, may be you can use
Code:
&filter_name=field_value
in the url of your menu link (flexicontent category link)

I don't have other answer yet.

Thanks, but I think I'm missing something.

I added the code you send as this:
Code:
name=value

in the field properties y have:

Label: Some Label
Name: somelabel
Published, Searchable, Advanced Searchable and Filterable in Yes
In Field type i have FLEXIcontent - Checkbox
In field specific properties I have:
Code:
fieldvalue::Field Label%% fieldvalue2::Field Label2%% fieldvalue3::Field Label3

And in the article I selected one of this values.

my url is like:
Code:
index.php?option=com_flexicontent&view=category&cid=4602&Itemid=149&lang=es&somelabel=fieldvalue3

but it lists everything in the category, without doing any filtering.

Does I'm missing something?
