Hi Alex
I guess this is really a question for Chris Betts more than anyone else.
Since it is probably going to incubate I figure this is a good place to
ask about it ;).
I keep hassling 'em about the transfer - the wheels grind exceeding slow,
but they are grinding... :-)
I'm trying to create custom views with JXPlorer using the html form
mechanism. Everything is great however I'm a little stumped by the
multivalued attribute problem. Meaning how do I use an html form to allow
for user interaction with multivalued attributes? I'm begining to think
there might not be a way to do this and that I may have to resort to using
a custom view for JXPlorer. Is this the case Chris?
*cough*. The html multi-attribute problem is an old one. It's more Trudi's
area than mine, but from memory we decided that while we would allow the
*display* of multiple attributes in an html form, allowing the user to *add*
new attributes was just too much like hard work, and we would insist on them
using the table display (or custom plugins) for that sort of stuff. I think
Trudi put in some special code to allow it in some very specific
circumstances, but I don't recall the details? (Trudi?)
The html display is actually aimed at unsophisticated users who would like
to use forms to interact with a directory - it's not really a general
purpose tool to do everything. If you're trying to do really clever things
you should use a plugin...
Of course, a not insignificant part of the html code was written last
millenium back in the java 1.1 days, so if anyone is keen to do a
top-to-bottom rewrite...? *looks hopeful*...

P.S. This is really not that far off topic.
