The directory data is accessed via different views.
• MainPage View – shows the SOBI2 mainpage, the component home page.
• Category View – browsing through categories and sub-categories.
• Details View – displays details of one entry.
• Search View – specify searches and view search results.
• Entry/Edit View – Create or edit a new or /existing entry.

Almost all of the views’ content and look is controlled by the SOBI2 Configuration and SOBI2 CSS file.

Templates

Customizing the SOBI2 templates is not required.

An entire directory may be created and set-up using only configuration settings.

Only adding custom fields would require minor CSS additions for those fields.

If desired, the design of the category listings and details listings may be customized using the templates and CSS.
• V-Card Template – the individual “cards” in the Category View.
• Details View Template – individual entry pages in the Details View.
• Entry Form Template – front-end entry form where users may enter new directory entries.

SOBI2: Directory component for Joomla

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Main use of sobi2 is to “classify and show stuff” – that is, create a form which contains Information on a product/ book/ artwork/ person/ downloadable Document etc. and to present it in a convenient way. Sounds simple, but doing this with pure Joomla! (articles) is tough, because there is no form with fields to fill out, so layout and search is difficult, and, especially, there are only sections and categories, no third level, and no way to attribute an article to MULTIPLE CATEGORIES.

SOBI overcomes all these limitations. You can define new templates and custom fields, you can attach files and gallery images to an entry, there is a system for a nice tree structure, ratings, user comments, file uploads, data import, backup… beautiful. It’s very stable, well structured, there is excellent support.. And it’s FREE.

and many more.

CSV Import and Backup plugin and the search modules are highly recommended for better functionality. Only regret so far is the inability to create different fields for different categories in add entry form. veterinary use of tramadol
