Hi,
i have created a class with the field 'title', and i can access to the value with :
{$node.data_map.title.value}
but is it possible to affect a value to this field (without a form) like :
{def $node.data_map.title.value = 'test'}
Thanks for your help
Anthony

Hi!
Not sure if this is what you need. But with javascript you could:
<script> document.getElementById('mytitle').innerHTML = 'test'; </script> <span id="mytitle">{$node.data_map.title.value}</span>
Cheers!

Unfortunately eZ has no mechanism that allow you do do such a thing. You cannot manipulate the database from inside a template.
What you maybe could do is creating a javascript doing a post call to content/action with the desired data.

Hello everyone,
It is possible by means of creating your own PHP/SQL interface for such changes (or maybe even using eZ API), but it is not considered a normal routine as far as I know, since you will be ignoring/braking versionning abstract layer. You have to understand what you're doing and how data is stored in the attributes' db table. I have used that approach in several cases, for example for flagging or periodic shuffling purposes.
Good luck,Piotrek
