Sven Berg Ryen	Tuesday 11 January 2005 5:35:28 am Hi all! I just checked the appendix C that lists all datatypes, and found the following description for the datatype "identifier": This datatype can be used for classificatin of object. Example: You can in the template language "fetch all objects with identifier 'recepies'". After adding this datatype to a content class, all I get is an autonumber that increases as more objects are added. Nowhere do I find the promised facilities for using this class to identify/filter my objects. I have checked the documentation, and also looked in the forums. Now, is there something wrong with my head, or is the description in the appendix simply misguiding? Please respond. I also hope the documentation will be updated accordingly. TIA. Cheers, Sven Ryen sven.ryen at maxus.no
Kristian Hole	Tuesday 11 January 2005 7:40:49 am Sorry. I that was a mistake (by me) in the documentation. The identifier creates an unique id for the object. Documentation is updated now.

Sven Berg Ryen	Tuesday 11 January 2005 9:55:53 am Thanks, Kristian! Do you plan to add the new datatypes to the documentation any time soon? I miss multioption, inisetting, package, selection, option and range option. Also, having the type "Subtree subscription" explained would be swell. Cheers, Sven Ryen sven.ryen at maxus.no

Hi all!

I just checked the appendix C that lists all datatypes, and found the following description for the datatype "identifier":

This datatype can be used for classificatin of object. 
Example: You can in the template language 
"fetch all objects with identifier 'recepies'".

After adding this datatype to a content class, all I get is an autonumber that increases as more objects are added.

Nowhere do I find the promised facilities for using this class to identify/filter my objects. I have checked the documentation, and also looked in the forums.

Now, is there something wrong with my head, or is the description in the appendix simply misguiding?

Please respond. I also hope the documentation will be updated accordingly. TIA.

Sorry. I that was a mistake (by me) in the documentation. The identifier creates an unique id for the object.

Documentation is updated now.
