Hi my name es Mariano, , I recently bought CP for Joomla 1.7. I read the documentation that is linked here, in the forum, but I don´t find any information about the diferent field types, and their possibilities.

I would really appreciatte this information, thanks a lot !

Greeting from Argentina !!!

Hi Mariano.
We are writing an article on this subject that will be published shortly.

Ciao Andrea, ho capito che questo progetto è fatto con sforzo, ma non può vendere un prodotto che non ha definito i loro campi, perché è impossibile da usare.
Chiedo allora un manuale che specifica almeno:
- I tipi di campi
- Per servire, e come utilizzare gli elementi di contenuto?
- Come aggiungere proprietà personalizzate agli articoli di una determinata categoria in modo che quando si scrive un nuovo articolo, mi sembra che selezionarli.

grazie per la risposta, ma sono domande di base per qualsiasi progetto che viene venduto online. se io do questi elementi, non posso utilizzare il prodotto, così ho intenzione di richiedere un rimborso.

Grazie.

Mariano

Hola Andrea, entiendo que este proyecto este realizado con esfuerzo, pero no pueden vender un producto que no tiene definido sus campos, porque es imposible de utilizar.
Te pido entonces un manual de usuario en donde se definan al menos:
- los tipos de campos
- para que sirven , y cómo utilizar los CONTENT ELEMENTS ?
- como agregar los custom properties a los artículos de una determinada categoría para que cuando escriba un nuevo artículo, ya me aparezcan para seleccionar los mismos.

gracias por tu respuesta, pero creo que estoy pidiendo cuestiones básicas para cualquier proyecto que se comercializa por internet. si no me entregan estos elementos, no me sirve el producto, por lo que voy a solicitar la devolución del dinero.

gracias.

Field types:
- select: rendered as a <select> HTML element. Single choice.
- checkbox: rendered as <input type="checkbox"> HTML element. Allows multiple choices. Selections are evaluated with an OR conditions.
- autocomplete: rendered as <input type="text">. Upon typing a list of available choiches is read from the DB and displayed as a drop down list of elements. Selection can be performed either by mouse or by keyboard. Logically equivalent to the select type.
- text: rendered as <input type="text"> HTML element. The value entered in matched with the start of the tag label (LIKE 'value%').

Content elements:
this is one of the (few) things we wrote about here:
www.solidsystem.it/documents.html

como agregar los custom properties a los artículos de una determinada categoría para que cuando escriba un nuevo artículo, ya me aparezcan para seleccionar los mismos

There's no such function in Custom Properties.
You can limit the search scope to certain categories while searching, not when tagging.

thanks a lot for your answer. I have a few more questions, and thank you very much again.

1. about field types, for example, If want to filter articles written in 2003, is there an option in CP_search_module ? becasue I think that adding a "year" property wouldn´t be the best option ..., isn´t it ?

2. I published the plg_cptags_btn_2.0_j16_build3 plugin, but the button don´t appear in the editor box. I´m using JCE as editor, what I´m doing wrong ?

3. I paid the module using my money, and I must present the bill ticket to recover my money. Can you send me the electronic bill to my email please ? thanks a lot !!!

bye bye !!!

1.
In my opinion - as a user - selecting the year as an option from a select box is much preferable than using those calendar controls: 1 click vs several clicks (open, choose year, then month, day, then rinse and repeat with the end date)
So, I'd go with a year tag.

2.
Plugin Buttons are not related to the editor. So, I don't think JCE has nothing to do with the problem. In fact we've seen many Joomla installation with JCE and CPtags plugin button.
Plugin button is a simple piece of software hence there aren't many things that can go wrong. I'd repeat the uninistall - reinstall - enable cycle.
