Hi 

I would have 3 content types based on the Article Object 

book 

publisher 

author 

When creating a book article, have a fieldx for author and a fieldx for publisher. 

Also in your form have a button to create new author and a button to create new publisher. 

I did this and it works great. 

I used a select dynamic to pull in the authors with storage set to none I created a fieldx with storage 'custom' 'article' 'fieldx_name[field_name]'

If that makes sense I can add screenshots of what I did for search as well.

salutJe voudrais avoir 3 types de contenu basé sur l'objet article 

livre 

éditeur 

auteur 

Lors de la création d'un article de livre, d'avoir un fieldx pour l'auteur et un fieldx pour l'éditeur. 

Aussi dans votre formulaire ont un bouton pour créer un nouvel auteur et un bouton pour créer un nouvel éditeur.

J'ai fait cela et ça marche très bien. J'ai employé une dynamique select pour tirer dans les auteurs avec l'ensemble de stockage à aucun J'ai créé un fieldx avec le stockage 'custom' 'article' 'fieldx_name [field_name]' 

Si cela fait sens, je peux ajouter des captures d'écran de ce que j'ai fait pour la recherche ainsi.

Hi Bucklash

Thanks a lot for your answer and for your help to build a library

I would appreciate screenshots for search

Do you have a link to your library if I can see it as public

Hi / Salut

You can see the end result here:

I have started a tutorial but need to add the images....
Will do when have chance<br>

Showing an example of using 'FieldX'

There might be a better way but this works for me.

This would be similar to a book content type where you can add multiple authors, and multiple publishers etc...

I have a Content Type called 'Bands and Artists'
I have a content type called 'Lesson Files'
In the Admin form for 'Lesson Files' I want to add at least one 'Band and Artist'.
In the Admin form for 'Lesson Files' I want to be able to create a new 'Band and Artist' if required.

ADMIN Form View
In my 'Lesson Files' I add a 'Select Dynamic' Field to pull in the list of existing 'Bands and Artists'
Field Name: choose_bands_and_artists
Table: #__content
Options Name: title
Options Value: id
Where: catid=12 AND state=1
Storage: None

Storage is none because 'FieldX' will be handling it.

In my 'Lesson Files' I add a 'FieldX' Field to duplicate the 'Choodse Bands and Artists' field.
Field Name: added_bands_and_artists
Field*: choose_bands_and_artists
Storage: Custom | Article | bands_artists[choose_bands_and_artists]
I also add a 'Button Free' to enable me to add a new 'Bands and Artists' if required
Name: button_to_add_bands_and_artists
Link: Form {Link: "Content Type = Band or Artist"}
Storage: None

CONTENT View
I add the 'FieldX' field to show the added 'Bands and Artists'
Select 2 (Link + Typography) and in Typography column, select:  Collection - List

SEARCH Form View
I created a new 'Select Dynamic' field: 'Filter Bands and Artists'
Name: filter_bands_and_artists
Table: #__content
Options Name: title
Options Value: id
Where: catid=12
Storage: Custom | Article | bands_artists[choose_bands_and_artists]
Select 3 (Match + Stage) and in 'Match' select 'Exact' and choose your FieldX, for me it was 'added_bands_and_artists'

LIST View
Add the 'FieldX' field: added_bands_and_artists
Select 2 (Link + Typography) and in Typography column, select:  Collection - List

Thank you again for your quick response

I will work on it later. For now I just have another question. A few months ago I began an Address Book and I could hide labels for two fields but I don't remember how I did it. Can you explain me. Labels cachés (labels under Dimanche for infos and image are hidden)

I will show you the result when the library wil be ok

PS: I wish I visit Australia some day...

Hi

Type 'clear' in to the label area.

Yes, Perth is pretty damn good. Been here 5 years now!
