MSM, Structure, Gypsy, Playa & Fieldframe

Development and Programming

Hi,

Has anyone had any experience using MSM, Structure, Gypsy, Playa & Fieldframe together?

I’ve been using Structure, Gypsy & Fieldframe successfully, created a new MSM site, copied accross custom fields, re-assigned gypsy fields to correct weblogs etc and now nothing seems to be working correctly on either main site or sub site.

The behavior seems to be mainly affecting Playa fields, in the sense that no Playa fields are working properly.

The scale of the problem is so vast and tempermental it’s difficult to explain / diagnose. All I’m really after is re-assurance that the listed combination of Modules/Extensios do infact work together - or not. Just do I can make an educated decision on what to do about it.

Thanks in advance…

I’m pretty certain it’s a Gypsy issue.

If I delete all the Gypsy fields from the subsite, the main_site starts working properly.

There is a known issue with FieldFrame and the MSM - custom fields of the same name across MSM Sites will not work. If using FieldFrame you’ll need to ensure your custom field names are unique across the installation.

I’ve encouraged other reporters of this to report it to the author but am not sure if a fix has been issued.

I am using Gypsy, Fieldframe and MSM. But not playa.

The issue i faced was that when i created a new site, all the gypsy field had to be re-assigned to the weblog. Didnt face any other problem.

@artminister It says on the Devotee page about Gypsy that it is not compatible with MSM, but you seem to be saying that you have it working fine (once you’d reassigned it to the right weblogs). Can you confirm this is true?
