I am working with Expression Engine 2.1 and would like to have a relationship field that links one channel to another. This works fine for a one to one relationship but I want a many to many. It does a many to one by default. I would like check boxes instead of a drop-down menu.
Is this possible out of the box or do I need a third party plugin to do this.
Thanks,
Brian
You'll need to use a third-party add-on like Playa. There are others as well, but Playa is the best-raed and most-established.

We have a JIRA board (Kanban) that has many Projects on it that the team work on interchangably, these are added to the board using a custom filter which is based on specific tags on the issues.
I want to be able to create a quick filter the current board, by one or more Projects at a time, the same way that can be done in the Issue Search, ie using the Project drop down.
The alternate to this is to be able to create a custom swimlane where each project is grouped together, but I don't want this setting on by default, so the quick filter option would be much better. I have tried to create the Swimlane using custom query containg the JQL "ORDER BY project ASC", but this only creates one group called Projects, not a group for each project.
The board shows issues matching the intersection of active filters, not the union, so the approach I'd suggest is to have filters of the form PROJECT != your_project_name, titled "Hide your_project_name" so that people select the filters for projects they aren't interested in, leaving the ones they are showing.
Don't think you can do that. A quick filter is literally a link - it's can't be rendered as a drop down list. And it is, as is titled, a "filter". So each filter you click the link for restricts to cards that match that filter. Quick Filter just doesn't have functionality to do what you want.
Swimlanes is closer to what you want. Swimlanes can be individually expanded or collapsed, and there is also a expand all and collapse all option on the Board menu.
Also, if you are having to manage a lot of different projects on one board - you might take a look at JIRA Portfolio.
We're about to implement TFS 2012 and I've been having some fun customizing some work items to aid us in our reporting. One issue we have is our reporting based on clients.
Our Product Backlog Items keep our requirements, however, we need to report our requirements per client (government regulations). Some requirements will affect all clients, some will only reflect certain ones. I've been able to add a global list of clients along with a multi-select option and that part is working great.
The issue is we need to also note the requirement number for each selected client. I know I can go in and add a field for each 'Client Requirement', but as that list gets bigger, that screen will be insanely huge.
Does anybody know of such a way to implement something of the sort?
One option would be to create a custom Work Item Type for Clients. Then link your PBI's to the appropriate client WI's. When you create a link you can enter a link comment also which you could use to capture the client-specific requirement number.
I would create a custom "Client Requirement" work item that has the list of clients to select and includes a field for Client ID. You can then either use the related link type or create your own, maybe "Implements \ Implemented By" so that you can create a Reporting Services report that pulls the ID's
I need to wire two applications so that one reacts when another is selected.
I need a calendar view (populated in one application) to update when a person is selected from a list (based from another application).
I have been trying to do this for absolutely ages and have hit a brick wall as the existing knowledge base is pretty poor. I don't understand how to compose the action required to do this, or how to use the WDSL system to wire the two, which i will be linking using the UNID of the person.
Any help appreciated.
Assuming you are using 8.x+. Look up this example in the designer help: Example 1 - Simple composite application creation using Lotus Notes components
Has anybody ever used blogpost contenttype and extended it and added some column to it. I know we can add columns to it using the GUI (List Setting).
Can we do this declaratively and add it to the portal using feature, so that we can create a deployable solution.
Paddy
I have not tried this, but I don't see any reason why you couldn't. The only thing that gives me pause is that Blogs are a little different than most lists because the List Definition is not in a Feature but is rather part of the Site Definition. You could create a Feature with your custom Content Type and staple it to BLOG#1. However, you will still need something (probably a Feature Receiver) that will modify the instance of the Posts lists by adding your custom columns and associating your custom Content Type.
I haven't even attempted this yet and am creating this question for advice really.
I have a strongly typed page which receives a form model composed of several components. It is to create a mitigating circumstance (MC) for a student at a university for my final year project. A MC can be composed of the initial problem, assessment extensions, and I use a multi select box to allow the user to select staff retrieved from the database which are able to view the MC once created.
The thing is I feel that a student could be granted many assignment extensions for one problem. I am wander if it is possible to include a button/image on the form which when clicked will create a new assessment extension object, and duplicate the form components to set the values for the object? This would all need to occur without any page refreshes.
Any advice, or links to good tutorials would be appreciated. I have so far been unable to find any suitable examples.
Thanks,
Jon
There are a number of ways to do this, but the fastest is to create a javascript handler which creates the form controls without any sort of server request, all you need to do is keep track of how many items are in your list so you can name the form controls correctly.
Start by making a button that when you click on it creates form controls. Once you get that, work on the naming.
