Thread

I have a channel called companies that I basically add companies/organizations to. I have another channel called Articles that I use to write articles about companies. I’ve set up a relation in articles to use companies, however, I have noticed that it only restricts me to using one company from a drop-down list.

What if I want to write an article that I was to reference to 5 different companies. How would I sort that? Also, when the list if companies grows- say to 500, navigating through a drop-down list isn’t ideal. Is there an add-on that allows for better handling of relationship fields?

There are many relationship add ons available in devot-ee: http://devot-ee.com/search/tags/tag/relationship

NSM Entry select would do the job for you

Thanks- that does look like what I’m looking for. Installed it but have a couple of questions if you have used it:

1) When selecting the Multiselect, is it possible to have a checkbox kind of list instead of CTRL+Click
2) Selecting AutoComplete results in nothing showing up- I would have guessed that a box would show up where I start typing and it autocompletes the names.

Hey Abbas Jaffar Ali,

I am glad that artminister was able to point you to a plugin that works for you!

I am going to move this over to the Community Help Forum. I do not have any experience with NSM Entry Select, or I would give an answer a try.

Cheers,
