You must have a jSeblod Little CCK template, download them on Little CCK page, and install them with the Joomla installer.

In Joomla administration (Back-end) :

  • In the WYDIWYS Editor select a template for jSeblod Little CCK and you will see the form, very simple !
  • Then you can have a look how templates are made and make you own template.

Powerfull idea, it's the answer for begin user and to respect template design of my client. But i use already the JCE Editor, is it possible to integrate it in your WYDIWYS and not TinyMCE ?

Hide certain templates based on section?

I noticed in the admin demo that you had to manually type in the template you wanted to use.
Is there a possibility for a drop to select from whats available AND possible to hide templates? Example... If I have a template for the Drinks section, I wouldn't want a user to have access to the Car template in here.

And I guess for that matter, force specific sections.
So if they are in the Drink section, then they don't get a choice of sections. It will automatically publish it in the drink section.
Make sense?

Drop down for available templates

Hi Mac.
Thanks for your comment and suggestion.
Yes we also were thinking about replace the textbox by a dropdown which will actually display available CCK Templates. You will find it in the next release of the WYDIWYS Editor.


About the connection between Joomla Sections and CCK Templates yes it makes sense, and it may be an improvement in a near futur. But the connection will have to be between Joomla Categories and CCK Templates cause you know Joomla Sections are going to disappear. I also invite you to have a look at the coming release of jSeblod CCK which already use this concept ( cf "Views" ). Thanks again.

Hi,

first: thank you for this CCK, i have just been playing with for a couple of hours and really like what can be done with it.

But i found a little issue. When i do a search from the default joomla search box, this is what i see in the result page:
::jseblod template=[jseblodcocktail]:: ::My_title::cool cocktail::/My_title:: ::Image::images/stories/clock.jpg::/Image:: ::Rate_1to5::4::/Rate_1to5:: ::Ingredient1::ingredient 1::/Ingredient1:: ::Ingredient2::ingredient

instead of only showing the actual values like we can see on a content page.

thanks again,

cheers
