Variable number of class attributes

Oliver Frommel	Wednesday 05 September 2007 6:02:05 am Hi, is it possible to create as class with a variable number of attributes? Or, in another words, to encapsulate attribute types in a kind of array or as a "linked list"? For instance to have an article reference a number of URLs that is unknown at the time of class creation. If it isn't possible at this time it would be a great addition to eZ publish :) Best Oliver

Then you can have as many objects as you want. An alternative method is using the object relations attribute to link to objects containing url information. I would probably go for the first method since that means you don't have to edit the article in order to add more links.
Xavier Serna	Thursday 06 September 2007 6:36:20 am Hi Olivier, the fact is that for your case, is as simple as add an ezmatrix attribute to your class, you can define the required number of columns you want for each row (in your case, each url), for example one column for the website name and another one for the website url. The rows are added at the time of the article editing, without limitation, so you can add as many rows as you need in each object. hth! -- Xavier Serna eZ Publish Certified Developer Departament de Software Microblau S.L. - http://www.microblau.net +34 937 466 205
