Friday 25 January 2008 12:29:01 am Hi, i have created a class with the field 'title', and i can access to the value with : {$node.data_map.title.value} but is it possible to affect a value to this field (without a form) like : {def $node.data_map.title.value = 'test'} Thanks for your help Anthony
Felix Laate	Friday 25 January 2008 5:08:23 am Hi! Not sure if this is what you need. But with javascript you could: <script> document.getElementById('mytitle').innerHTML = 'test'; </script> <span id="mytitle">{$node.data_map.title.value}</span> Cheers!

Atle Pedersen	Friday 25 January 2008 9:10:10 am Unfortunately eZ has no mechanism that allow you do do such a thing. You cannot manipulate the database from inside a template. What you maybe could do is creating a javascript doing a post call to content/action with the desired data.
Piotrek Karaś	Saturday 26 January 2008 2:11:20 am Hello everyone, It is possible by means of creating your own PHP/SQL interface for such changes (or maybe even using eZ API), but it is not considered a normal routine as far as I know, since you will be ignoring/braking versionning abstract layer. You have to understand what you're doing and how data is stored in the attributes' db table. I have used that approach in several cases, for example for flagging or periodic shuffling purposes.
