Hi,

After some time of working on the concept, making a start with the 
wikipage and testing the tracker-feature, I'm starting to getting 
somewhere. In near future, I will try to post the temporary restults on 
the wikipage.

For now, I have a few questions about the possibilities of the trackers:
  * I have tracker Contacts in which i would like to make a field with 
the items of tracker Organisations. When I don't have the needed item in 
tracker Organisations, I would like to have a field which gives me the 
possibility to add an item in the tracker Organisations (with all the 
fields). This way, you can add an organisations without needing to load 
another screen.

  * In the documentation [1], I read about the dynamic items list. I 
tried to get this working, but I have no idea what could be wrong ...

Tracker City (Id = 4):

[FIELD68]
name = Zipcode
position = 1
type = t
options =
isMain = n
isTblVisible = y
isSearchable = n
isPublic = n
isHidden = n
isMandatory = n
[FIELD69]
name = Name
position = 2
type = t
options =
isMain = n
isTblVisible = y
isSearchable = n
isPublic = n
isHidden = n
isMandatory = n
[FIELD70]
name = Country
position = 3
type = y
options =
isMain = n
isTblVisible = y
isSearchable = n
isPublic = n
isHidden = n
isMandatory = n

The structure of the fields:

[FIELD52]
name = Zipcode
position = 7
type = r
options = 4,68
isMain = n
isTblVisible = n
isSearchable = y
isPublic = y
isHidden = n
isMandatory = n
[FIELD53]
name = City
position = 8
type = w
options = 4,68,53,69
isMain = n
isTblVisible = n
isSearchable = y
isPublic = y
isHidden = n
isMandatory = n

Can someone give me some direction where te problem could be?


  * Is it possible to let the users (entering the contacts in the 
tracker) add custom fields? This is very usefull for adding extra 
contact-information (different types of IM, social sites, ...) next to 
some standard information (like phone, e-mail, address, ...).

When I can get a solution for my questions, a first prototype for 
contacts will be there soon ;-)

Thanks for your help!!
