Claudia Kosny	Friday 29 September 2006 2:22:30 pm Hi there Is it possible to have different views for the attribute_edit_gui? Example: I have an ezselection attribute. There a several ways to edit such an attribute, one could use an selectbox, some radiobuttons or some checkboxes (if multiselect). I want to tell the attribute_edit_gui function what template to use. The same applies to the attribute_view_gui. At the moment I use a parameter for this but I would like this to work like the different view modes possible for the node_view_gui. Then I could have different templates for each required attribute view and not have all of them in one big switch. Claudia
Kristian Hole	Friday 29 September 2006 4:28:55 pm Hi Claudia, You can create different overrides for the edit templates. Look here: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/reference/template_override_conditions/content_datatype_edit_tpl Alternatively, you can also pass variables to the edit templates {attribute_edit_gui attribute=$basdf variable1="value1"} Kristian http://ez.no/ez_publish/documenta...tricks/show_which_templates_are_used http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/techn...te_operators/miscellaneous/attribute
Claudia Kosny	Saturday 30 September 2006 2:24:24 am Hi Kristian Yes I know that I can create overrides. The problem is that these overrides would be valid for the entire siteaccess but I would like to be able to choose which view I want depending on the template the attribute_edit_gui function is used in. Currently I use your second idea by selecting which view to use basing on some variable I pass to the edit template. This works alright so it is truly not necessary to have the functionality I asked for. It just would be nice to have the same functionality for all xx_yy_gui functions and it is possible to choose different view modes for displaying nodes or objects after all. So this is really just a suggestion, definitely not something necessary. Greetings from Luxembourg Claudia
Damien Pobel	Saturday 30 September 2006 3:42:08 am Hi, I agree with Claudia, an override system also based on a view parameter (or something similar) on attribute_view_gui would be a really nice feature even if there are solutions without it.
