I'm trying to relate content with a live search in a list-view. I have a content-type PROJECTS and in these content-type i use a dynamic select list for CLIENTS.
CLIENT is a Content-Type too.
In content-view of my PROJECTS i want to load a menu-position with related PROJECTS from same CLIENT.
The List-Type i use for these related PROJECTS has the select-dynamic field in construction in search-form.
now i configured the Live-Value like...
(2) -> Live - Variable -> Integer -> in Field Variable i entered the name of my CLIENT select-dynamic field.
Problem is the results are not filtered. When i enter the id of a client in "Default Value" when configuring the Live Search, the results get filtered.
Same when i add "?client=xx" to my Page-Url. Everything is filtered fine.
It seems the Content-Type doesnt give the Variable to the loaded list-type in module. So how do i get it?
It sounds like you may need this :
www.seblod.com/products/2311
now i configured the Live-Value like...
(2) -> Live - Variable -> Integer -> in Field Variable i entered the name of my CLIENT select-dynamic field.

"
- Variable: option Value: com_content
- Variable: view Value: article
- Variable: id Value: 10
- Variable: catid Value: 2
- Variable: Itemid Value: 101
This is the supported live value you can play with.
The easiest way is to do with the simon live value product (in the WebOne comment below).
Thanks for your answers. The SD Live CCK Field works as expectetd. But now i have "Error: Oops! Template Init. failed.. ; ( " in top of my content type view.
All fields are rendered correctly. Nothing is missing. Where is this error message coming from?
Another question: is it possible to exclude the current id of the content-type in related items? The related items from same CLIENT are loaded in list. But the current item active is showed , too. So i want to load all items from same CLIENT except the current item i'm viewing.
s it possible to exclude the current id
> yes, make a new field in your search, call it .. test current id .. or whatever. type : text, save it in STANDARD / ARTICLE / id
or easier, use the joomla default field : Article ID.
Then option 2 > live value. URL > Variable : integer ... and put "id" in the value field.
Then option 3 > different

Same here when I want to use it on items that are the same content type of the main content. I mean :
[full content view(content type = mycontenttype)] [related item1(content type = mycontenttype)][related item2(content type = mycontenttype)]
__
It works nicely if I want to put related items that are different content type (like main contant 'author', related items: 'books')
If I want to display
main contant 'author' with a field that say 'fanstastic', and have related items: 'author' with live value (with the simon' CCK live) on this field, I'll have the same error "Oops template Ini..."
Thanks, exclude items with same ID works (3: Match+Stage is called "Exclusion: Not equal").
Mmh...ist this problem with field SD Live a bug? Shouldnt we tell Simon Dowdles about it? I wrote a message on plugin page.
I think it is missing in his plugin, don't know if it's because of seblod / joomla version updated. I tried with Joomla 3.3.6; same.
Good if you wrote a comment there, I'll do it too.
I found another way to achieve this but it's not sexy.
in the "intro" view, option 2, link > view, then option.
Below, custom variable => anameyouwant=cck->getValue('yourfield_you_need_to_get_in_live_value')
then in your search, option 2, live value > url > variable > string > yourfield_you_need_to_get_in_live_value
... It's not sexy at all, as your link will add /content_alias?anameyouwant=yourfield_you_need_to_get_in_live_value
..but it works. I don't like this solution, I'd like the simon's plugin to do the job :D
