It adds most of features offered by other CMS like drupal, wordpress, and much more than them:
- Content Types (=custom forms)
- Many highly parametrized powerful fields with SELECTIVE Content Plugin Triggering
- Drag-drop templating
- Multi-Category assignments
- Complex filters in category/search views
- Author management with limitations for subscriptions sites
- etc
10x-20x more features in free version, compared to other Free CCK/Directory components
Thus, FLEXIcontent was designed to manage content in a broad sense:
- articles,
- image or video galleries,
- job offers,
- product catalogues,
- business directories,
- hotel directories
- etc
within a single user interface.
-- This means for the end user, unparalleled simplicity of use, everything happens in one place.
-- Mastering 10 components to be able to administrate an entire website isn’t required anymore.
-- For the web designer / end user / developer, it means a lot less headaches of interoperability/maintenance
Some of FLEXIcontent Unique features:
(none in other component's Free versions, many unique compared to commercial versions)
-- Multi Category assigments, with multiple featured categories (configurable via our Advance Route Plugin, see our FAQ)
-- Multiple Document versioning (combined with workflow and powerful notifications messages, see below)
-- Multi-state Workflow to assist both editors & publishers to add/update content to your site
-- Highly configurable powerful notification system: (Global) Component + Per Content Type + Per category
-- High parametrized Fields(=joomla plugin each) (carefully structured to assist configuration and be performance wise)
-- Powerful relation/reverse Relation fields to create custom Content Item sub-listing inside a Content Item
-- An powerful image/gallery field to create DB-reusable image/galleries or item-field specific galleries with numerous parameterization options
-- Multiple filter apperances: text field/single select/dual text range/dual select range/toggle radio/toggle checkbox(multiple filter values)
-- FACETED filter behavior for almost all searchable fields: showing filter values according to current filtering and current
-- A -Free- Advanced Search view (to host the above 2, but also available in categories too) and create content-rich listings
-- Directory/Catalog features, directory view + a powerful Alpha-Index with character aliases, character aggregations, language customizations
-- Selective plugin triggering in all fields
-- High performance frontend views and items manager, with steady performance as sites grows (**installing on EXISTING larges sites 20,000+ items is still slow, TODO), (and works with full page caching extensions)
-- 30+ ACL actions (e.g. edit field value)
-- ... many more UNIQUE

Okay, this is a good component, but what i can't understand is, that this is a cck without a frontend editing?
It is very easy to make fields, categories and it's a beautifull drag 'n' drop template system.
but without a frontend access to fill the articles with content is this component for me personaly not realy senseful.
This could be the most needed cck component for joomla 1.5. But for the moment i will use still jseblod cck. This is a little bit more difficult, but there are more posibilities.
You have done very good job. When it next year are also the front-end editing, you'll get from me seven stars.

I suggest you to stop any ongoing activities and install this component for evaluation. I did the same today and I remain glued to the screen for hours.
Try it out and you'll quickly understand what I'm talking about.
I don't know how to thanks more vistamedia (more than I already did).
I highly recommend it.

FLEXIcontent is an incredible component.
After testing others CCK I can say that that it's the most ergonomic one.
We can think that FLEXIcontent will be in advance when J! 1.6 will arrive.
Let's test !

What to say about Emmannuel's work ? You just did great job man. This component is awesome. Just add fully qualified content to your website using any type of content and without difficulties.
The major point is to continue using the Core database and functionnality instead of recreating another brand new wheel.

This is great - not only does it have all the features that I've waited for Joomla! to have for many years, but it also has some major advantages over other Joomla! CCK attempts. The biggest being that it utilizes and extends Joomla! core content rather than using its own isolated content structure. Thank you for this!
