Class creation through ezwebin

Friday 19 October 2007 7:10:20 am

Hello,

Can someone shed some light on this? I don't get the picture yet:

In the ezwebin interface, I can create new classes. (Administration->Classes->Create new class)

Let's say I would create a new class called TimeSpan: I would add two Date members to it, through the dropdown box at the bottom.
(the one that lets you choose Article, Folder,... etc)

But once I'm finished with this and save my work, I don't know how to walk further:

I don't know what to do so that this new class would also be selectable in that dropdown box I'm speaking about, so that I could use my class as attributes in other classes... Example would be to add a new member of type TimeStamp to the Product class... But TimeStamp does not show up in the drop-down selection.

I don't understand where to declare and put a template tpl file for this class. I tried to use the override.ini file, but that didn't work. I posted a question about this previously and didn't get much answers so far.

Is it possible to do this kind of things through the admin interface, or do I need to program an extension ??

Thanks in advance,

</Pascal>

You seem to mix datatypes (the different attributes on classes) and classes.

Start here and also look at the 'The content class' and 'Class attributes' pages:

Especially the 'the guestbook' section!
