Is there a way to Merge several articles to a new article

Hello "Guest", it was difficult to read your post. So I have edited it slightly to get some "line breaks". Not your fault, the editor text area can be tricky. "Markup" is quite easy to use, but the text is not wrapping into the next line if you enter a single "return". It looks correct while editing, but not after saving the topic.

Tips: Use 1 extra empty line for a paragraph, or enter 2 spaces at the end of your line to force a "break".

BTW, if you register a free user/forum account, you can easily track your topics and comments. Sideeffect: We don't speak to an unknown guest anymore ;)

Haha, I know what you are talking of ;)

Regarding your initial question, I am not sure I got the whole idea. As far as I understand from your description, you might need some sort of "relation". You want to enter 1 type of data (sequences) and later display that data into another record/section (with type event). Right?

You might have a look into Cobalt Type as Comment, or the more powerful Relation fields. The latter ones allow to connect data in a parent/child relation. Relation can be added in frontend through AJAX, so no opening/editing of the actual record is needed.

Hope this makes sense.

To answer your question I need to understand why simple textarea with

Title: Band
requires: 3 Microphones, 1 Amp, ...
Title: Band2
requires: 1 Microphones, 2 Monitors
Title: Band 5
requires: 3 Microphones, 3 DI Box

Does nto work for you? If this is what finaly end user see, why do not enter this way?

I need to know what you want to have as constants. For example Bands. Every even can have same bands so you do not want to enter them, but just select?

Not to waste your time I'll give you answer how i see it but please, note I do not understand what you need clearly.

1. You create type Event to pe parent of stage
2. You create type Stage to be child of parent.
3. In type Stage you create fields Band (Select), Microphones (Digit), Monitors (Digit), ....

Now you can attach as many Stages to event with that info.

After the hint witht he relation fileds i bought a plan.. and now i use the relations fields. and its working.

But is there a way to calculate Values?

E.g. i added Duration (digits) to the Sequenze.

So now it would be perfekt, when i add several Sequenzes to the Event (via parent child relation), if i could add a filed which will add all Durations to get the duration of the whole event

Paradoxon But is there a way to calculate Values?

Not by configuration, except for ratings.

Apart from that you can use javascript or php in your template.
I would try to sum the digit field values with PHP...
