Christian BELLET	Tuesday 08 July 2008 1:45:46 am Hello, I'm wondering if it is possible to create a custom datatype like "object relations" so I would be able to choose the name (input field) for each related objects and then, fetch all these objects, make a link to each of them with the custom name like <a href="/path/2/object1">Custom text 1</a> <a href="/path/2/object2">Custom text 2</a> <a href="/path/2/object3">Custom text 3</a> "Custom text" is not an attribute of the related objects (article, image ...). Thanks

Later, to retrieve and show these links in the webpage, you can use one the Ez Publish fetch functions, like this one: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/reference/modules/content/fetch_functions/list You have to specify the Id of your node (your folder), so only objects inside this folder will be retrieved.

Hello,
I'm wondering if it is possible to create a custom datatype like "object relations" so I would be able to choose the name (input field) for each related objects and then, fetch all these objects, make a link to each of them with the custom name like

<a href="/path/2/object1">Custom text 1</a>
<a href="/path/2/object2">Custom text 2</a>
<a href="/path/2/object3">Custom text 3</a>

"Custom text" is not an attribute of the related objects (article, image ...).

Thanks
