Aleksandar Adam	Saturday 09 July 2005 4:01:35 pm I have the following problem: I have a line with "fetch" like this: let children=fetch('content','tree',hash(parent_node_id,$node.node_id,limit,5, class_filter_type, 'exclude', class_filter_array, array(21,20,27,1,2) then I would like to print "forum reply" attributes in the following lines: section name=Child loop=$children attribute_view_gui attribute=$Child:item....... /section I don't know what to write after the "$Child:item" to reach the following attributes of the "forum reply" class: - the name of the "forum reply" object - the author's name - the date so that i got something in style: reply xxxx Forum User, 6th june 2005 and if it is possible to klick on the reply and the read the whole text I have tried everything what I could possibly think out and now I got a terrbile headache, any answer will be appreciated
Eivind Marienborg	Sunday 10 July 2005 1:28:37 am Hi Aleksander :) To see all attributes of an object, use the attribute(show) function, like this: {$Child:item\|attribute(show)} If you for example want to access the authors name, it's probably shown like this > Item >> Object >>> owner >>>> Name To use it in a template you use {$Child:item.object.owner.name} Look for the other attributes, and use it in the same way. If you need to see further down in the attribute tree, adjust the depth like this: {$Child:item\|attribute(show,5)} Where 5 is the depth in this example. But in my experience, going deeper than 4 usually crashes eZ. Hope this helps :)
Aleksandar Adam	Sunday 10 July 2005 1:35:25 am Thanks it works, :-) but now I am little bit curious, why did't it work with: attribute_view_gui attribute=$Child:item.object... what is the difference?
Eivind Marienborg	Sunday 10 July 2005 2:09:00 am What's the full attribute you specified in "Child:item.object..."? The attribute_view_gui displays ez-attributes, but if you for example use $Child:item.object.owner.name, that's simply a string (and not an ez-attribute), so it doesn't need to be passed throught the attribute_view_gui to be proparly displayed.
Eivind Marienborg	Sunday 10 July 2005 2:13:49 am This is the section-code I use to display the last replies in my eZ-forum. It displays the title of the thread, with date and author on mouseover, and the number of replies and parent (usually a forum). If you're gonna use it, notice that I haven't used namespaces in it, so you have to adjust this/your code a bit. {section loop=$:topics} <li><div class="name"><a href={$:item.url_alias\|ezurl} title="Last reply: {$:item.modified_subnode\|l10n(datetime)} by {$:item.object.owner.name}">{$:item.name}</a> </div> <div class="reply">{$:item.children_count} replies</div> <div class="parent"><a href={$:item.parent.url_alias}>{$:item.parent.name}</a> </div></li> {/section}
Aleksandar Adam	Sunday 10 July 2005 3:58:04 am I have used: attribute_view_gui attribute=$Child:item.object.name attribute=attribute_view_gui attribute=$Child:item.object.data_map.name and many other wrong combinations, so i wonder what is the correct way.
Eivind Marienborg	Sunday 10 July 2005 9:47:10 am You do this: {$Child:item.name} No attribute_view_gui at all. :)
