Good day everybody.
Last two years I used to use SEBLOD in all my projects. Joomla without it is castrated for me :). Thanks to developers for this.But some time ago I found an opportunity to create a Content Type with FREE object. And I have a questions - what is this? I found, that such objects isn't linked to Joomla articles - so, its great! We can use it for comment system and we can't be worried about URL for each comment. Very good. BUT!!! After i think deeper and tried to create such object, I get a questions - how I can manage it? So, publish and unpublish - fields, and I can create it and filter my comments. But I need to delete them! I need to set safety! I can't make these neccessary actions.So, there are many question about it, and I want to get an advice - how we can use this object and how we can manage such content? Is it bug that we can't delete it or I'm wrong?
Maybe somebody has a "live" example of using this object? I look at seblod.com comment system - is it free object too? :).
Thanks for advance everybody.

Hi SEBLODers,

Thanks for your great question.

So a free object can be used to take the hand to another simple "object" from another extension or application. A free object is used in relation with the free storage.
By using it you will be able to manage this data in a SEBLOD view (form view and search/list view, be care SEBLOD has no content detail view at this time and used the Joomla article view which can not be used here).

You know "Article", "Category", "User", "User Group" objects which are native into SEBLOD.
Theses objects require a specific SEBLOD Object plugin because there are complex objects with a lot of different interaction between database tables.

The free object don't require some custom development (such as a object plugin) but it's working for SIMPLE object. That means an object which depends only from one database table.
Example, on VirtueMart the "product" object is complex because different tables are used and it calls itself some other object such as images. So it will required to develop at least 2 object plugins, one for product and another one for image.
Another example, by using the free object you can display item from Joomla menus in a SEBLOD list such as here http://demo.seblod.com/seblod-addons

So yes, it can be used for a comment system.

Be care the delete function is missing for the free object and we need to add it (written "//TO DO" in the source code).
You can always just unpublish/hide an item by adding a parameter and filter by it your list.

Thanks.

In simple words free object is the good way to import already custom tables, from other aplications.

For example import a old forum. You can you free object to match the custom tables of the old forum.

Hello all.
Thanks for your answers We'll try to create a comment system with this obkect. One moment is not understandable - what about safety and rights? Will it work in this object or it is also from content plugin?
