Hey Sebloders,
I made some forms for my application and everything is starting to work GREAT. Thanks to the help of lloyd and some others that I can't recall the names of, it's really turning into a useful application for me.
I do have one issue though.
When I go an individual record (backend or front) I have these strange (I assume) titles that look like dates. So, if I go to the ARTICLE MANAGER there are a bunch of articles that appear with dates and times. I click on them, and they are my various records in my application.
So my question is, how do I get something to show up as the title of the record. Ideally, I would like to combine two fields for it.
Let's use this for an example: Lastname, firstname and have that be my article title?
So my record would have a title like
"Smith, Joe "
Is this possible?
thanks
You need the article title field for it to show up properly. You can create your own for that content type as well if you want it to show up pretty.
If you need an auto title feature... Using sd concat field is a one way to go
Any chance you could explain how this is done?
Are you using the default seblod article skeleton where it populates the article title alias category etc automatically or does none of that show up when you create your (no fields by default)?
If you don't have a article title field by default simply create a text field for article title and this is the important part, under storage options do as I've done in this screenshot. Now you the prefix for the for your storage will be different than the yye18_content as mine is for this site but the important part is to store it in the #_content table and the option set to title. To combine two separate field like requested you will need the SD Concat Plugin like Viktor said and it's a nice plug-in to have.
I created my first app without the Article Skeleton. No fields when I create a new form.
Gonna get to work on this right now. I will let you know
Going to check out the SD Concat plugin...
UPDATE:
I have purchased the Concat plugin. Could someone create a HOW TO post on using it?
Documenation is provided pretty well for that plugin. Here is an example though of how to use it without the article skeleton.
llyod, just wanted to update you that, I got everything working wonderfully. Thank you VERY much for your help again.
