Usage of datatype "Identifier" - please explain

Tuesday 11 January 2005 5:35:28 am

Hi all!

I just checked the appendix C that lists all datatypes, and found the following description for the datatype "identifier":

This datatype can be used for classificatin of object. 
Example: You can in the template language 
"fetch all objects with identifier 'recepies'".

After adding this datatype to a content class, all I get is an autonumber that increases as more objects are added.

Nowhere do I find the promised facilities for using this class to identify/filter my objects. I have checked the documentation, and also looked in the forums.

Now, is there something wrong with my head, or is the description in the appendix simply misguiding?

Please respond. I also hope the documentation will be updated accordingly. TIA.

Cheers,

Thanks, Kristian!

Do you plan to add the new datatypes to the documentation any time soon?

I miss multioption, inisetting, package, selection, option and range option.
Also, having the type "Subtree subscription" explained would be swell.

Cheers,
