Hi all!

In my opinon, one of the most usefull features when developing ez-sites, is the <i>{$node|attribute(show)}</i> function. At least for someone like me, who can't get the zillion attributes into my limited brain.

But it can be quite time-consuming to alter this forth and back, uploading, removing cache (if not disabled) and updating.

So I wonder. Wouldn't it be great to make an attribute-browser which could work somewhat like this:

- you would ad something like this <i>{$node|attribute_browse}</i> to a template.

- then, when viewed, there would be a link to a new window with the attribute_browser

- this would be an easy to read, hyperlinked list of all attributes at this node

- you could move along the branches of the object tree

Am I far out? Or would be an good idea?

It sure would be great. You just need to find someone who implements it ;)

That is a great idea! Especially when dealing with more 'complex' datatypes, that would save a lot of time!
