I may have missed something but it would be very nice to have easier ways of getting attribute objects from objects without needing to search for yourself.

At the moment i either iterate through the array the function contentObjectAttributes returns from eZContentObject, or if i can safely use the index of the array i access directly.

eZContentObjectAttribute has the function fetchByIdentifier but that doesnt seem to get a specific identifier from a single attribute, which would be nice.

A function in eZContentObject to fetchByAttributeIdentifier would be nice.

# co has one contentobject attribute called name(identifier)
$co = eZContentobejct::fetch($id);

$datamap =& $co->attribute('data_map');

$value = $datamap['name']->content();
or
$value = $datamap['name']->attribute('data_text');

$datamap['name']->setAttribute('data_text', ' new value');

$datamap['name']->store();

did this help?
