Hello i'm making an employment application form.  Currently under article manager all of the submitted articles are created with time stamps as the title and I would like to be able to have their first and last name as the title instead.  Any ideas?

Hello,

for that, in your user form you have to use the SD concat Plugin to catch and concat the first and the last name.

And for this field, you put the storage "standard | article | title"

Yes that will work thank you for that reply.  However, I'm building on Joomla 3.1 and SD Concat is not available for that version yet.  Also I'm trying to stay away from plug-ins because I will be using this same app across multiple different sites for different businesses. I don't want to have to worry about whether or not the correct plug-ins are installed.  Can it be done somehow within the core Seblod itself?

Hello Kyle,

One the things you can do instead, is to use the built in computation rule on Seblod.

Add the field Article Title as you normally would and make it hidden. Click on button 5 and on the Computation Rule column click Add. After the lightbox is open, on Computation field, choose the option Concatenate and on Fields, choose the fields to concatenate.

One downside for this solution, is that it does not have the separator option as on SD Concat, so, the title will be something like this "FirstLast", without the space in between names. 

I'll suggest to implement this option for future release.

Hello all,
opportunities SEBLOD are so huge that sometimes have forgotten.
The right solution is Interacting with the parameters of the plugin Storage Location "
Joomla! User".

In parameters you can specify how the title will be created. use custom and add fields for concatenation like #user_first_name# #user_last_name#....


Best regards.

Hi, Thanks

I want to make article title by default should be taken as a current date format such as "31 May 2013". Any clue to me?

Hi Raj,

Yes :-), just don't insert in your content type the title field from Joomla (art_title). SEBLOD will set automatically the title with the current date.
