Visibility feature #4

Closed vlad-ghita closed 12 years ago

Ok, this extension rocks. Now let's make it better :)

How about a "visibility" feature? Section A contains many items from Section B, but I don't want all items from Section B to be visible (selectable) in Section A.

Example:

Given Albums and Images; an Album can hold many Images:

Images:

  1. Title
  2. Image path

Albums

  1. Title
  2. Images (SBL+ with gallery)

The problem is that not all Images should be selectable for all Albums. Think of 100+ images ...

The idea is to add another SBL or SBL+ (prefferable) which points to Albums -> Title, for example, and for every Imageinform that current Image will be selectable only for those Albums.

Images:

  1. Title
  2. Image path
  3. Visibility in Albums (SBL / SBL+(checkboxes, default etc.) ) -> Will select one or many Albums in which this Image will appear to be selectable.

For this to happen, another setting will have to appear in SBL+ from where the developer can select, if desired, a filter field. If none selected, no filter will be applied and all available options will be shown.

For Albums, it will be the Visibility field from Images section.

I will have a draft ready to test probably tonight.

No need of this one any longer.

Filtering parent entries is a full on requirement to make this extension really useful.

Is there any chance I can twist your arm to continue with this? Did you revert the commit list in your fork as I can't find this feature anywhere anymore?

If so, could you do a branch of this in your fork?
