> Key: MAGNOLIA-766
> URL: http://jira.magnolia.info/browse/MAGNOLIA-766
> Project: magnolia
> Type: Improvement
> Components: admininterface
> Versions: 2.1.5
> Reporter: Bert Schulzki
> Assignee: Boris Kraft
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: dynamicOptions_magnolia2.1.5.zip

> If you use selections in magnolia dialogs, the options must be static defined
> in the dialog properties. Though this is straight forward, it has serious
> limitations:
> * when using the same options in multiple dialogs, you must copy and paste,
> and if one option changes, you have to start over
> * you cant provide "dynamic" options, for instance:
> o select a user from the repository
> o select a page with a specific template below a certain content tree
> o retrieve options from elsewhere (filesystem, jdbc, ...)
> I could not solve this without changing magnolia. If someone knows a better
> way, please tell me. Otherwise i would suggest to build my (or a similiar
> solution) into the product. The source is attached to this page and in the
> wiki.
> The solution works like this:
> * if a "options" contentnode in a select field is found, its static options
> will be used
> * if "options" contentnode is missing, it will look for a nodedata called
> "optionClass"
> * if this nodedata is found, it will instantiate this class
> * this class must implement the interface OptionHook and provides a single
> method "getOptions(...)"
> Using this pattern, you are fully backward compatible to existing dialog
> definitions, with the ability to create dynamic options.
> The code is ready and can be found ready here:
> http://www.magnolia.info/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=DynamicOptions
> If there are some supporters for this issue, i would like to see it
> integrated into the magnolia source tree.
