Seems Seblod is very powerful but it lacks tutorials for more complex things.
My question is this. I am building a property agency web site and decided to use JEA since it has all the functionality I need regarding properties. On the other hand it completely lacks any kind of contact management like property owners, buyers and their relationships with properties or between them selves or with agents. Is it possible to make relationship between JEA and contact management I would build in Seblod?

Hi vladar,

Welcome to SEBLOD and the forum!

Yes! This site was built using SEBLOD. There are lots of ways you might solve your problem. Depending on what information you are trying to capture, you could create a Content Type for Property Owners and another Content Type for the Buyers. Using a Related Article field, you can link the Property to the Owner, and then do the same for the Buyer.

Hope that helps,

Randy

Thanks Randy. I watched all tutorials I could find and read all articles explaining things on this site. Build some test forms of my own and I like it very much. I plan to dig in much deeper and implement Seblod in my future projects but for now I am a novice so implementation must be partial. I understand how to make relations between components made in Seblod. What I want to do is make relation between JEA and form for contact people that I wold make in Seblod. JEA works perfectly for what I need regarding properties so there is no need for me to re-invent the wheel.
Thanks in advance. Best, Vladar

with Seblod you can access all tables in the database for retrieving and also for saving information. This means it is possible to build a relation between JEA and a Seblod form.

You can do both, output data from a JEA database table in a Seblod form and save data from a Seblod form to a JEA table.

James Morrell has excellent resources about this. Read his article and watch his video.

This should give you a good idea of how Seblod storage options for storing and retrieving data to and from the DB are working.
