[Developers] Editwizard question.
Hi there, Here's an editrwizard challenge: I've modelled a relation between an article and a theme. Every article has one theme. Instead of using a standard MMBase relation list, I would like to use a optionlist instead. I've managed to retrieve the themes with a query like this: optionlist name=themelist optionid=[EMAIL PROTECTED]'number'] optioncontent=[EMAIL PROTECTED]'title'] query xpath=/[EMAIL PROTECTED] / /optionlist Than I found the option that with a field the ftype can be set to relation. Unfortunately I could not find documentation on what the syntax is to make this work. Does anybody know this? Kors van Beem -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

2 a var in the context that runs the wizard that contains
the number
of the node that was loaded by the wizard that started the current
one. something like ${opener} or so. this way i could add
something like: action type=load
relation role=publishrel destinatin=${opener} /action
and show the fields of the publishrel relation as wizard
list in the film wizard.
This is already possible, you could simply use $origin.
However this doen't work until the relation in quetsion is
already saved.
he, i tried that (with $origin) but i got an exception, stating that
$origin was not a known builder, so i fugured the var was not present in
the context.
So, if this should work i will try again, and hope!
regards,
Ernst
3 now you can start a wizard for the objects you show in a wizard
list. If you could allso start a wizard for the relation
You can. When you create an editwizard field you can point out the
obvjectnumber of the object to edit with an xml path. The problem is
again that this onbyl works with relations that have already
been saved.

It should be {$origin}. Origin is always defined in a subwizard.

nop, i think that defeats the whole idear of the wizards. Besides i'm to lazy to build a custom editor :) Ernst -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens André van Toly Verzonden: donderdag 26 mei 2005 16:34 Aan: Discussion list for developers Onderwerp: Re: [Developers] editwizard question Hij Ernst, Normally when a node in MMBase reaches this stage, thus in which editors have so much nodes related to it that it is nearly impossible to edit it with the EditWizards, like for example a category node for tv programms or something, i cease to try to edit them with the EditWizards an build JSP editors for them.

You must always avoid having unlimited lists in wizards. That simply intrinsically does not work, since wizards use XML's and XSLT's to present al data. The entrance page must ensure that these are presented by list.jsp. So, I would not immediately rebuild everthing in JSP, but only up until th part that it becomes possible to create links to list.jsp or small wizards.

You must always avoid having unlimited lists in wizards. That
simply intrinsically does not work, since wizards use XML's
and XSLT's to present al data. The entrance page must ensure
that these are presented by list.jsp. So, I would not
immediately rebuild everthing in JSP, but only up until th
part that it becomes possible to create links to list.jsp or
small wizards.
that solution is relevant only for the list of objects you want to edit.
I'm talking about a list of object that belong to one object out of the list of
objects i want to edit.
So, to make it concrete:
i use list.jsp to enter the wizard. it shows all the optreders.
for each optreder there are a bunch of film nodes. not so many, but maybe ten
or twenty max. Showing these nodes with a wizard list is allready to much. for
every related film node i have to show three form fields, and the browser goes
berserke.
so i could think of some solutions, which i don't think are supported by the
wizards right now:
1 a paging option for wizard lists, so you can control the number of related
objects showed at once.
2 a var in the context that runs the wizard that contains the number of the
node that was loaded by the wizard that started the current one. something like
${opener} or so.
this way i could add something like:
action type=load
relation role=publishrel destinatin=${opener}
/action
and show the fields of the publishrel relation as wizard list in the film
wizard.
3 now you can start a wizard for the objects you show in a wizard list. If you
could allso start a wizard for the relation you could leave al the editable
fields of the relation out of the list, and have them set in a separate wizard.
I suppose all three would be nice additions, but that dousn't solve my problem
now.
Anybody?
Ernst
