Hi,

It sounds like big trouble... ^^
Here's the plot.

I have a container class "formation".
In this one, there can be several "option".

I have a "planning" class.
She was first linked to a formation.
Now, it appears that she must be linked to an option.
So when user create a new "planning" he chooses first a formation. And then, thanks to JAVASCRIPT, the list of linkde options is displayed. He can then choose a related option.

Example :

Formation : Ezpublish
Option 1 : Content management
Option 2 : Template creation

Planning :
- Formation : Ezpublish
- Option : Template creation
(And dates)

The main problems will be to :
- add javascript within the planning creation form in order to reload the form when the user has chosen a formation
- filter the available options to those who are in the previous selected formation

So...

Where can I find the display template for objectrelation ?
Before "breaking" what I've done yet,does objectrelation search object deeper than the 1st level of the node ?
I mean, I have a folder for formations. If I had in my class an objectrelation "linked option" and the formation folder node as node for searching options will the options be displayed ?

Awww...

Thanks for reading me.

I'll try something else.

I'm gonna use a text line.

But at object creation, instead of displaying an <input type="text"> I'd like to display a <select> box. The specified value will be stored into the text line.

Is this possible ? When looking at the content form creation, it seems that it cant be achieved so simply...

This is very possible. You just have to make sure to get the id's right. I've used this at several sites. Good luck :)

^^ ok but... Could you give a hint or two ? ^^'
The Ids in the object relation are not the node id's of the object they are related to.
So I dont see how I can make the link.
And it doesnt look as simple as you seems to say it. ^^

(Does my sentence means anything ?)

Hum, I guess I was a bit unprecise there. I've used the dropdown to replace the text input with success, but not in a object relation.

Try and failing is a good method ;) And use the {$node|attribute(show)}. Good luck :)
