I would like to add properties in a property sheet, but cannot find a neat way to see the properties on the base object and on the propertySheet.
So I would like my properties to show id title
and the properties on my basic properties sheet.
I can easily add properties directly to the object during the Thing_add and Thing_addForm and these appear on the properties tab for added objects.
How do I get a tab for the property sheets?
I am not sure, I understand precisely, what you want to reach.
ZClass properties are managed on distinct property sheets. I do not know of a neat way to present (and change) properties from different property sheets (other than adapting the "manage_PropertiesForm" manually).
I wrote up some code (dated) to present generic forms for changing zclass properties, code to follow. i generally use it just to get a fast prototype for a system, example: picking a property sheet and harding coding a link to the second method. yes this code does find base class properties (including stuff like webdav, etc), or at least it did last time i used it (era 2.1.6). hope this helps Kapil three methods one to select a property sheet one to edit a property one to change a property sheet 1. edit_properties <dtml-var standard_html_header> <center><b>Please Pick A Property Category</b></center> <table align="center"> <form action="edit_propertyCategory" method="POST"> <tr><td> <SELECT name="PropertyCategory"> <dtml-in "propertysheets.items()"> <OPTION value="<dtml-var sequence-key>"><dtml-var sequence-key></OPTION> </dtml-in> </SELECT> </tr></td> <tr><td><INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" value="Edit Properties"></td></tr> </form> </table> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> 2. edit_PropertyCategory <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('PropertyCategory')"> <dtml-in "propertysheets.items()"> <dtml-let y=sequence-key> <dtml-if "REQUEST.PropertyCategory==y"> <dtml-let x=sequence-item> <table border="1" align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"> <tr><th colspan="2" align="center">Edit <dtml-var y> Properties</th></tr> <form action="edit_propertiesChange" method="POST"> <dtml-in "x.propertyItems()"> <tr><td> <dtml-var sequence-key> </td><td> <input type="text" name="<dtml-var sequence-key>" value="<dtml-var sequence-item>"> </td></tr> </dtml-in> <tr><td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="SUBMIT" value="Change Properties"></td></tr> <input type=hidden name="PropertyCategory" value="<dtml-var PropertyCategory>"> </form> </table> </dtml-let> </dtml-if> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> <dtml-else> You have reached this page in error </dtml-if> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> 3. edit_propertiesChange <dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('PropertyCategory')"> <dtml-in "propertysheets.items()"> <dtml-let y=sequence-key> <dtml-if "REQUEST.PropertyCategory==y"> <dtml-let x=sequence-item> <dtml-call "x.manage_changeProperties(REQUEST)"> <dtml-var PropertyCategory> Properties Changed<br> <a href="<dtml-var URL1>">Back To Object</a><br> <a href="<dtml-var URL2>">Back To Container</a> </dtml-let> </dtml-if> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> <dtml-else> You have reached this page in error </dtml-if> <dtml-var standard_html_footer>
