Problem with ISBN-standard

Hi.

In 2007 the definition of ISBN will be changed to a new format consisting of a bigger number of characters than the former (actual) definition.

Here is the problem:
Customers of us use an older version of eZ publish (version 3.6.11).
Trying to change the values of the ISBNs, I found that there's no way to save the changes. The system won't accept values complying to the new standard.

Is there a way to update just the ISBN-datatype, so that I can use the new standard without updating the whole system?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Steffi

Hello Steffi

Welcome to the eZ community! It's great to see more women joining :-)

I think it's safe to take the latest revision of the ISBN datatype from the trunk:

http://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/trunk/design/standard/templates/class/datatype/edit/ezisbn.tpl
http://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/trunk/design/standard/templates/class/datatype/view/ezisbn.tpl
http://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/trunk/design/standard/templates/content/datatype/edit/ezisbn.tpl
http://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/trunk/kernel/classes/datatypes/ezisbn/ezisbntype.php

Good luck!

Meaning it has already been updated and will be included in the release.
