Description

The field type "items list" has to be applied in a target tracker.
The field type "items list" compares a field of a source tracker with a corresponding field of a target tracker and displays the content of a number of pre-selected fields of the source tracker in the target tracker.

I have setup an example use case on show.tiki.org. Please review http://torsten-11143-5621.show.tikiwiki.org for further detailed information.

In this example use case the source tracker contains the adress data of locations, where a self-empoyed service technician named "Peter Wright" has to work when jobs are assigned to him by his customers.

The target tracker contains all relevant Job related data.

The source tracker and the target tracker are interlinked with one corresponding field in each of both trackers, which have the same field title and a corresponding content (here the "location name").

Based on the selection in the correspondiung field of the target tracker, another field of the target tracker shall display the content of a number of pre-selected fields of the source tracker.

The field type "items list" works with "item link", but it does not work with "dynamic item link / dynamic item list".

The list of fields linked from the source tracker is not sortable. But for a proper display it would be crucial, that this list would be sortable.

It would be very handy, or better said a logically expected functionality, tht tis field type would be working with "dynamic item list/link" aswell. This is not a bug, but missing this functionality could be considered as a partially non-finalised development.

Please review the show instance and comment on this wish-list item what you think.

Best regards,
Torsten

Solution needs a bit of coding. => wolfganga, LPH, jonnyb??
Workaround

Maybe it would be possible to work out similar behaviour on the level of pretty tracker display when you use the wiki plugin "List".

Please mind, that the usage of the wiki plugin "List" requires a user knowledge far beyond the average experience required for the use of the wiki plugin "Trackerlist".

UPDATE:

Thanks to Olaf-Michael's List example (pre-Bootstrap version):
http://omstefanov-10438-4895.show.tikiwiki.org/
I could implement a basic standart display in this show instance with Plugin "List", but had to realise, that with that the dynamic/non-dynamic problem is appearing in the same way!!!

Actually right now on easter monday Wolfgang Alper is working on the field type "items link" and the tiki-view_tracker.php to review and later solve the problem.
