    • Hi!

      Yes but your detailed view still have those unsexy URLs like this:
      www.bidlesstravel.com/component/fabrik/details/36/40/65/72.html

      I have about 700 artists and almost 4000 songs on my site. I can't sit and create menu items for all of them.

      This is how it looks right now with Fabrik:
      www.svenskatabbar.com/ackord.html

      What do you think about my idea of creating a fabrik form to use as frontend submission to FLEXIcontent? I guess it should work?

      Or perhaps it's possible to recreate something similar with jReviews?

      Why isn't there a CCK that can manage what I want? If I only had the skills and time to write my own component :P

    • Just played around with Zoo 2.0, seems much easier to get a handle on things. But no front end submission from what I can see. Although that isn't something I really need. It does have native SEF URL's.

      It's much more intuitive than Jseblod, and seems to be better laid out than flexicontent and more options than K2 without having to mess with the PHP templates. But most important to me it's simple and has Documentation.

      I set up two different types of content in about 15 minutes. Compared with 3 hours on Jseblod and nothing to show for it.

      So I'll mess with this a bit more and let you guys know.

      I spent 10 minutes with ZOO 2.0 so I can't say much about it. From what I see is probably the easiest to use, and for non advance users but it comes with a price for every app. Although, I think most will only need blog + 1 app. You can't really make your own content type--well you can, but can only edit the elements of the apps you installed. You can't do anything outside the box.
      In every cck extension, front-end submission is a high demand. Sad that the new ZOO doesn't have this yet. this is from there site
      Note: If you need frontend submission or a multilingual support don’t waste your time with ZOO 2.0 and go with another solution. It is not supported by ZOO 2.0

      I currently still prefer JSeblod for being very flexible. ex. Dynamic Select with parent & child relation as a field is awesome. It just needs tags, and multi mapping. I like FLEXIcontent and how much user permission control you have with FLEXIaccess.

      update: and I still hate how JSeblod displays the wysiwyg editor in lightbox.

    • The problem I see with JSeblod and Flexi is that at some point I need to hand these sites over to a client. So while I can make something work with jseblod,, there's no real way I can turn something like that over to a client and have them use it.

      Not gonna get all wrapped around flexi access until I see what J1.6 can do with acl.

      I'll sacrifice some features for ease of use.

      So probably for customization the list would be from least to most.

      K2
      Zoo
      Flexi
      Jseblod

      That or just stick with Sobi :-)

    • Very true. At the end of the day it's making easy for the client, so they don't call often for help :) I've read theres a new Sobi brewing, but I don't want to get started with another new cck lol.

    • Hi,

      In my mind:
      @WebMamanEmoi, FlexiTools are intereressants, good interface, what it do it do well, but still light in many case and have not a very nice code
      @RICHARD BEAN: Zoo 2.0 is still a very little extension, you can not do many things with it, no front-end submission, no search, no compatibility with other extensions... (comment, rating, tag...). Ok the interface is well done but to do what?
      @RICHARD BEAN, you are totally false about customization, jSeblod CCK is clearly the most flexible and customizable, you can customize easily all: form (submission or search) on admin and site, content on site, list on site...
      @RICHARD BEAN Pro will be maybe interessant, but actually SOBI2 is a very old tool, it's nice when you have only one content type and after that it's very heavy

      @RICHARD BEAN and @LIES, generally you don't ask you client to modify or add some fields or content type, generally your client use only what you build (content type, form), jSeblod CCK is build in this way. It's very easy to use for a end user who fill the content, a simple assistant can do this because it's only to fill a form (which answer exactly their need) and use only Joomla article manager... for all...
