Hi, first of all great component, really amazing!!

That said, I have 2 content types, one used to create "dossier" (id | name | date_start | vat_id | address | phone | mail ) and the second one used as a comment system inside each dossier (something like a forum) -> I have followed this tutorial

First I tryed with Standard/Article method and everything worked fine, I was able to create dossier, view list, open entry, edit content and create messages inside each dossier.

The really annoying issue here is that seblod create 1 article for each dossier and 1 article for each message, so the number of articles increase esponentially and, even if these articles are saved in different categories than usual, the Joomla article view became unusable.

So I opted for Standard/Free method mainly because I don't need and specially don't want to create un article for each dossier or for each message, so I set up a database table with phpMyAdmin

With Free method I was able to create dossier and view list, but I can't view content cause link didn't work. I set in my List on button #2 Link "Content->View", but there's no link at all.

The only links that work fine are Content->Delete (to delete the content) and Seblod->Form which displays form to create dossier with prefilled input.

It's my mistake or it's normal with free method?

Thanks in advance

Hi

Content view is really a 'com_content' view, ie articles.

Your free table is there for not really an article....

Search and List to display your comments on your articles content view would be the way. 

There are tutorials on passing live values from the url ie id to the list and search type

Hi Bucklash, many thanks for your reply.

Are you sure that "Content->View" is a view only for 'com_content'? Because it's strange that "Content->Delete" work even with non "com_content" type (ie Free type). I thought that "Content-> View" is used to display all content (Standard and Free) defined in the Content Tab section of the Content Type Form.

Anyway, if I would like to create a custom link, what's the URL to view a Free type content?

Thanks in advance

Hi

I have a feeling you know more than me on this, but have you read this:

object-free-what-is-this-why-is-this

Re creating link - I have no idea :)

As far as I know there is no item view for free object at the moment.

So with free object you can create, list, edit and delete items, but you can not view them? In many cases Free Objects are useful, especially for simple content type where you don't need unwanted articles, ie comment system, forum, dossier etc.

I hope devs have planned to add this feature soon because without the ability to view items, SEBLOD seems to be "castrated".

Thanks everybody for your replies.

View works trough native Joomla implementations for other objects (article, user, category..). I agree it would be better to have Seblod view, but I don't know if/when this will happen.
