Create Relation field

Relation is a very important flexicontent field

it can create a "dynamic relation" between 2 contents. Like a book with his author, all fields between 2 items can be displayed dynamicly in each view wihout editing two item.

To acheive this wee need to create a relation field and a revers field !

For this site we create 6 relations / revers fields :

  1. "Director"  -> "Movie" and tv show and "Related to Director" -> "Person" (Display director in movie and tv show)
  2. "Team" -> "Movie" and "Related to Team" -> "Person" (Display team in movie)
  3. "Actor" -> "Movie" and "Related to Actor" -> "Person" (Display actor in movie)
  4. "Season" -> "Episode" and "Episodes in relation" -> "Season" (link episode to to season)
  5. "Related to TV movie" -> "Season" and "Season in relation" -> "TVshow" (Link TV show to season)
  6. "Rest to this movie" -> "Movie" and "Reverse rest of this movie" (to link a movie with his suite)

Now how it works

  1. Create a field
  2. Select relation (list of related items)
  3. Assign to your type

relation

in editing tab configure your field to filter item wanted (categorie, order etc)
