Hi Sakis,

I have an issue : when I create a Grid with Articles as the source, I can select Title etc... but also "Events before Content" etc.

But when choosing JFilters Results as the source, I can find the classical fields like Title etc... but not the "Events before Content" etc.

Can you please make it symetric so that we find the same in both cases?

Txs !

Here are two screenshots to illustrate the difference when using

- Articles as a source

- JFilters Results as a source

(could it be that my screenshots are ignored ?

I send them by regular email for your comfort

Hi Sakis,

Could we pls plan a short meeting next week so that we can share screen ?

Indeed, here it does not go around "Smart Search parameters" (like some fancy Ordering etc which indeed are not possible for Smart Search) but more over "Article fields" like "Title", "Date published", "Custom Field", "Custom Fields"... and "Events before display".

So these are available everywhere when dealing with Articles normally. But it is always easier to show than to explain with plain words :)

So let me rephrase the question / need.

We are speaking of YOOtheme here.

Actually when using Dynamic Fields with JFilters Results Items as source

- I can choose the regular Fields like Title, Content etc
- I can even Intro Image, Link A/B/C etc
- I have Custom Fields... and I can even choose any Custom Fields. Great !
- even better: among my Custom Fields I use the "Articles Field" by Regular Labs, allowing to link an article with any other one
- therefore, I can even choose the Title of that Related Article, or any of its Custom Fields for example. And also the "Events after display title", "Events before display content" and "Events after display content"

... but for the Article itself
- I cannot choose "Events after display title", "Events before display content" and "Events after display content"

And I have no clue why we would have everything... except that :)

Here is an animated gif to illustrate all what is available (or not).

Txs !

Yes, but as I mentioned, we see the Custom Fields which are by default not there in a regular Smart Search :)

So if somehow those Custom Fields are present, it means that there is something somewhere which makes that happen.

And the question is then: how can we also have "Events after display title", "Events before display content" and "Events after display content" since we already have Custom Fields and all the rest I mentioned above ?

(I should check but I think that Custom Fields do not appear when using Smart Search as source, whereas they do appear when using JFilters as source)

My usecase is typically for the Custom Fields, where you can choose between

- display after Titlte

- display before Content

- display after Content

- (do not display)

Okidoki, I understand now what you don't understand.

Indeed YOOtheme is quite powerful and it has Elements for many things, including video, images, galleries etc.

Let's take the example of Advanced Custom Fields by Tassos which has a field "YouTube" and another one "Vimeo", with *plenty* of options.

Well when using YOOtheme builder, if you choose any Element it will fetch the *rawvalue* of that Custom Field. It is not possible to have the "normal rendering" of a Custom Field.

So in practice I cannot use ACF YouTube and ACF Vimeo with all their options set in the Custom Fields... except precisely if I use "Events before display" or "Events after display" bc there it will call all my Custom Fields with Joomla's original rendering.

Am I a bit clearer?
