Hi folks
Any one able to help me on this:
1
I have a content type ['files'], which stores a value using fieldx.
The value stored is the id of an article from category with id of 12
So far, so good.
2
In my search form I want to filter ['files'] based on the id stored in fieldx.
At the minute I show the list of available articles that I can select from using select dynamic:
Table: #__content Options Name: title Options Value: id Where: catid=12 // the catid of the articles available to select in the fieldx
I have tried with storage set to none, and with storage set to CUSTOM | Article | articles_fx[articles]
3
In my search form I am unable to get the filter applying

Any luck with this m8?
Hi
As far as I understand it, it is like this:
Create field {"name: my_field", "storage: none"}
Create fieldx {name: my_fieldx", "storage: custom|'object ie article'|my_fieldx[my_field]"}
The above fields are for your forms
Then in your search view create a new field the same as 'my_field' but with the storage the same as 'my_fieldx'.
In your Match + Stage select exact and choose the collection ie the fieldx
In your list or item view display the my_fieldx and apply a typo on it or do variation override to manipulate further

The only way I found for fieldX to always work in searches is to use
- Custom - Article - someting for fieldX and
- Custom - Article - someting[fieldname] for child field (the one called by FIeldX).
P.S. this is not official recommendation from Octopoos, but sometimes theory and practice diverge ...
