Hi,
Inside a RSform text field
I show an “ArticleAnywhere” article.
Inside this article I use a snippet.
But the snippet doesn’t show
(but works inside other articles)
Is this a question for:
RegularLabs?
RSjoomla ?
JCE editor ?
Ok, so this concerns the Joomla core field plugin. I thought you meant the field datatags of Articles Anywhere.
The core plugin is a content plugin, which has limitations. Especially when using combinations of plugins like you do, the core content plugins just don't get a chance to see the final content that contains the tags.
But seeing you are using Articles Anywhere anyway, why not use Articles Anywhere for these fields?
The syntax is much clearer anyway, as you can use the actual field names, instead of their IDs.
Just surround the whole article in {article}...{/article}
And replace {field 285} with [285-course-description] (and all the others).
I am not sure why you are repeating the IDs in the titles and names of the fields, but that's down to how you want it set up.
By the looks of it, the whole article (ID 379) is just a template that shows a bunch of fields. No real content in the editor itself.
So why not place the whole thing in a snippet, and output the fields through Articles Anywhere as mentioned above?
for me, it has been a matter of how to present the training front-end.
What I'll do now, is that I have taken the rest of the off, to dive deeper into ArticlesAnywhere - and already by now I believe that working with articles, categories and accordions, like you show in the documentation, will save a lot of workflow in the future (if I understand it correctly)
And the deeper I go, the more I realise what a great tool this is - the problem is to "grasp it".
so I've started the "journey" and for now I have skipped using custom-fields combined with Accordions (because that's the only situation it wont work)
but that is fine - I use Templates instead.
I have come across another problem though:
i attempt to use accordions to show articles and use a tiny image on each accordion... fine and dandy - until I reached the 7th article - then the image disappeared. I have looked for limitations all over the place but can't seem to find anything that should cause this.
Hi Peter,
sorry to disturb you this close to the weekend 🙂
I still have the Accordions>ArticlesAnywhere>Fields problem - I tried to download your ArticlesField extension, and these fields (links) doesn't show either when used in ArticlesAnywhere (placed inside Accordions)
sorry, was a bit too fast - when I place this snippet inside an article - {article title="11. WPQC PROCESS STEPS (for Project Proposals)"}[article]{/article} - I get a blank page... (the page consists of only two fields - One Joomla Custom Field - and One ArticleFields field)
