Question on new(?) notes plugin.

[cmendla]

If the notes does what I think it does, it would solve a longstanding issue for me. Namely I'd like to be able to make notes on articles such as "Needs to be updated every October"..

It looks like the notes plugin can read the J17_content table and pull out the titles.

I have gotten to the point where i have a form that looks something like

Article Name
 
Article Notes
5450 Coupon Discount
Academic Program Changes-Facilities-Staff
Admin - Add/Change Tour Dates
Advising and Placement
(continue listing every article......)

There is an element on the form called article name.

What I want is to be able to see a list with the article names and the note alongside it. I THINK that is what this plugin can do.

What I've done so far

• Create a table called reminders
• Create a field element called reminder_notes in the reminders group
• Create a notes element called article_notes with the following :
  • plugin - notes
  • site database
  • table j17_content_bak (I made a copy of the content table JUST IN CASE)
  • id - Title
  • label - Title
  • Foreign Key - id
  • Where - please select (Supposedly this selects all rows)
  • Where value (Blank)
  • order by = Title
  • order direction -ASC
  • user - please select

I think i am really close. The problem is that I can't figure out how to get the list/notes thing to work. I see a list of

iddate timeArticle NameArticle Notes

1 2013-10-28
2 2013-10-28 tese
3 2013-10-28

I realize that there is a lot of other stuff going on with the new release but if anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate them. The wiki for this is currently empty. I believe the author of the plugin was Ray.

thanks

I'm not sure where that element came form, I've never used it before, and it looks like it would need some work to function properly.

I'm playing around with it now.

BTW, have you tried the 'comments' form plugin? Not sure if that would be more appropriate.
