Lars Eirik R	Tuesday 16 November 2010 5:26:51 am Hi. I have now created my own block to be used with the ezflow datatype. Whenever i set my block to not allow manualaddingofitems i am able to use the customattributes of mine. However if manualaddingofitems = enabled , all customattributes are ignored. Why is this the case? I would like to be able to have editors decide on which items to use as well as add some metadata as to where for instance the text is displayed on top of the image) Is it possible to have customattributes work even though manualaddingofitems = enabled ?

I have now tested this a bit more and there seems to be a bug on version 4.4 If the block has a fetchClass setting all customattributes are ignored. If fetchClass is removed all customattributes are addded. Does a fix for this exist? Please anyone from ez? Update1: The config below allows me to have custom attributes [LatestContent] Name=Latest content NumberOfValidItems=3 NumberOfArchivedItems=5 ManualAddingOfItems=disabled CustomAttributes[]=name2 #FetchClass=eZFlowLatestContent FetchParameters[Source]=NodeID FetchParametersSelectionType[Source]=single FetchParametersIsRequired[Source]=true FetchParameters[Classes]=string FetchFixedParameters[Limit]=3 ViewList[]=latest_content ViewName[latest_content]=Latest content based on this it seems that if manualaddingofitems=disabled and no fetch class has been specificed it works. The config below ignores custom attributes [LatestContent] Name=Latest content NumberOfValidItems=3 NumberOfArchivedItems=5 ManualAddingOfItems=disabled CustomAttributes[]=name2 FetchClass=eZFlowLatestContent FetchParameters[Source]=NodeID FetchParametersSelectionType[Source]=single FetchParametersIsRequired[Source]=true FetchParameters[Classes]=string FetchFixedParameters[Limit]=3 ViewList[]=latest_content ViewName[latest_content]=Latest content The config below ignores custom attributes [LatestContent] Name=Latest content NumberOfValidItems=3 NumberOfArchivedItems=5 #ManualAddingOfItems=disabled CustomAttributes[]=name2 FetchClass=eZFlowLatestContent FetchParameters[Source]=NodeID FetchParametersSelectionType[Source]=single FetchParametersIsRequired[Source]=true FetchParameters[Classes]=string FetchFixedParameters[Limit]=3 ViewList[]=latest_content ViewName[latest_content]=Latest content
Stefan Eickhoff	Friday 28 January 2011 8:57:40 am Hi, check this edit template extension/ezflow/design/standard/templates/block/edit/edit.tpl you will see that usage of "manual adding of items" with "custom attributes" is not intended. But the extensions seems to be capable of handling it. I just altered the template a bit - yes I do need the very same feature. Looks as if one could add a lot of versatility just by changing the template and adding more INI-Settings. Works fine but have to do some more testing. If you are interested in my attempts I can send you a patch file. lg Stefan
