Nested Relation Controllers issue

Questions
#1

Hi,

I have a question regarding the new October CMS 3.6 Nested Relation controller.

I’m particularly interested in its compatibility with multisite functionality.

  1. How would I manage/set it up to function across multiple sites if I create a country, then create a city within that country, ensuring that the city is created in all sites (across all languages)?
  2. Additionally, what happens if I delete a city in one site? Can I configure it to be deleted across every site (in every language)?

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards, Zsolt

Hey @ngyzsolt

Take a look at the multisite trait docs: Traits - October CMS - 3.x

If the city uses the multisite trait, then when the propagatableSync mode is enabled, then the city will be created across all sites.

This happens by default when propagatableSync is used, when a record is deleted for one site, it will be deleted for all sites.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your answer,

Am I able to use $propagatableSync in Tailor blueprints?

If yes, what about if records are created already, and me as a developer I add the propagatableSync just now? If my client delete a record in one site, it will be deleted in other sites as well?

Thank you,
Zsolt

In most cases: yes. When sync is turned off, you can still create synchronized records manually, and the user interface will prompt you with: A record does not exist; create one? At this point, the two records will become linked as if they were synced.

If you create the two records independently, then there is no such linkage, and they won’t be deleted since there is no way to know they are connected.

I attach the blueprints:

I have the gallery blueprint:

handle: Camps\Gallery
type: structure
name: Gallery
drafts: false
multisite: sync

structure:
    maxDepth: 1

# primaryNavigation:
#     label: Structure
#     icon: icon-tree
#     order: 140

navigation:
    icon: icon-file-image-o
    parent: Camps\Camp
    order: 20

fields:
    category:
        tab: General
        label: Category
        commentAbove: Select Category
        type: entries
        source: Camps\GalleryCategory
        maxItems: 1
        span: left
        validation: required
        translatable: false
    
    short_description:
        label: Short description
        type: text
        span: full
        validation: required|string
        tab: General

    cover_image:
        label: Cover Image
        type: fileupload
        mode: image
        fileTypes: jpg,jpeg
        mimeTypes: jpg,jpeg
        maxFilesize: 4
        maxFiles: 1
        commentAbove: 'kell a comment meg'
        span: left
        tab: General
        validaiton: required
        translatable: false

    highlights:
        label: Highlights
        type: fileupload
        mode: image
        fileTypes: jpg,jpeg
        mimeTypes: jpg,jpeg
        maxFilesize: 3
        commentAbove: 'Format: JPG, JPEG. Size: max 3MB. Dimension: fullhd'
        span: adaptive
        required: 1
        tab: Highlights
        validation: required
        translatable: false

    collections:
        tab: Collections
        label: Collections
        # commentAbove: Select one if related to a Project
        toolbarButtons: create|delete
        type: entries
        displayMode: controller
        source: Camp\GalleryCollection
        span: adaptive
        translatable: false

then I have the collection blueprint:

handle: Camp\GalleryCollection
type: entry
name: Entry
drafts: false
multisite: sync
navigation: false
propagatableSync: true

fields:
    title:
        hidden: true

    year:
        label: Year
        type: dropdown
        size: small
        options: Yuppi\Helpers\options\GalleryCollectionYearOptions::getYearOptions
        validation: required
        translatable: false

    images:
        label: Images
        type: fileupload
        mode: image
        fileTypes: jpg,jpeg
        mimeTypes: jpg,jpeg
        maxFilesize: 3
        commentAbove: 'Format: JPG, JPEG. Size: max 3MB. Dimension: fullhd'
        span: full
        translatable: false

And when I create a collection for a gallery, does not create in all sites. And I expect like to be created the collection in all sites, and will be deleted in all sites if I delete a collection.

Am I doing something wrong? Because if I create a collection in a gallery, does not create in all sites.

Thank your for the help,
Zsolt

Code looks good, are you on the latest version?

#9

Yes, I use 3.6.10 version

And does not create the collection in all site. Only in the current site.

            field: nesting
            condition: unchecked

And menu_item does not created in all sites, only in current site. Menu is created, but menu_items does not.

I cant find why.

Thank you,
Zsolt
