Help: how to have an attribute?

Thursday 27 March 2008 9:48:34 am

Hello.
I need to know if is possible to have, in a class definition, a numeric attribute which is filled with the id of the object at the moment of the object creation automatically.

So when an object is created from a user the attribute automatically gets the id of the object (which is unique) and I can also use it for the Object Name Pattern to name the object created.

Do you think is it possible?
I really need to know it.

Thank you

create a simple datatype that just stores the object id in an attribute ( not if you use node id: the object doesn't necessary have a node ).
Or use a int attribute and override the edit template of it for that particular attribute identifier, where you set the id in a hidden input box (again note that object might not have a node id).

I'm not sure why you need this though, since you can always get the node id / object id by code.
template:

{def $obj_id  = $my_object.id
      $node_id = $my_object.main_node_id}

$node_id will be 'null' if the object doesn't have a node.
