James Ward	Wednesday 16 November 2005 10:00:29 am Hi all, WardNet is currently developing a site which will require a lot of sub-nodes to be of a different section than their parents. Rather than constantly having to go to Setup-Sections-Assign-Browse to change the section assignments we will be creating a dropdown selector to allow quick section assignments during object creation. Are there any problems/question this type of functionality raises with other users? Also is there enough interest in this functionality to have it included in future ezpublish releases? We will post the patch files when we are done. working at www.wardnet.com blogging at www.jamesward.ca

I didn't post the information due to a lack of interest here. I will package a contribution tomorrow when I get some time and post a link to it here. working at www.wardnet.com blogging at www.jamesward.ca
