Hello,

is there a way to do Assignments (related to a menu) to a content-type, like you do it with a standard joomla modules?

Thanks for your answer

Have you tried making a Seblod module which is linked to a specific content type (form/list) and then assigning that module to specific pages?

Hi WebOne,

thanks for your idea. I now this way and it is a good way for a lot of situations. In my case i need the content-type assigned to spezial menus. Anyway is not so important. 

I see assignments in the Content-Type setting, but there is setup possibility. Any idea

Try this :

If your content-type is in category 'MYCATEGORY'

Then create a menu (possibly use a hidden menu) type eg. CATEGORY-BLOG pointing to 'MYCATEGORY'

You will see that all links etc going to content for that content-type then have the Itemid for this new menu item.

This is probably not the only way, but should work.

Hi WebOne,

thanks for you quick answer and writing the workaround. This solution is maybe one way, but is in my case not useful.

Best

Remember you can always just create a new menu pointing to any seblod LIST or FORM content-type by way of the menu manager. I'm not clear on why you would need to assign a content type to a menu if you can just do it this way? (or what difference it would make - perhaps you can explain to make it clearer?) Thanks

Hello WebOne,

you are right i explain it in a other way:

I m using one content-type over different menus. Some fields of the content-type should be hidden on some menus (without building up separate content-types for this).

Some ideas :

You can set a live value override in the menu settings for the content-type (first create a no-storage text field possibly called 'menuvalue')  and then check the value of this field and take appropriate action to hide / display certain fields.

To check the value of the field use conditional states (Option 5) or the following plugin (which works across all fields so may be better) :
