3.2 Matrix Datatype Suggestion

Next topic

Author	Message
Alex Jones	Thursday 17 July 2003 7:13:19 am It would be really helpful if we could set up a matrix with pre-defined fields when setting up a class. So, instead of making the editor fill in the same spec name each time (column 1), they would only have to fill in the value (column 2). This would also go a long way towards data and display consistency. Alex Alex [ bald_technologist on the IRC channel (irc.freenode.net): #eZpublish ] <i>When in doubt, clear the cache.</i>
Bård Farstad	Thursday 17 July 2003 7:34:01 am I agree. What we've thought about was to add definitions to the class setup where you can define the columns ( like today ) and rows. With default data. But you should be able to create different definitions. E.g. you could have different attributes for CD and DVD: CD ---- Artist: Year: Category: DVD: --- Actors: Year: Format: You could then select in the object edit, with e.g. a dropdown, which matrix type to use. If you will need the fields for CD or DVD. --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc
Alex Jones	Thursday 17 July 2003 7:40:33 am Exactly! Is this something that I could easily add to the datatype, or would this need to wait until 3.2? Also, how can I add a button that will add more columns? There isn't a way to do this in the UI from what I can see.

Exactly!

Is this something that I could easily add to the datatype, or would this need to wait until 3.2?

Also, how can I add a button that will add more columns? There isn't a way to do this in the UI from what I can see.
