Hi

Please help in implementing the combo box
for the requirement given us,there is no need of mandatory items.
so please implementing the static values to be populated in a combo box,so the user can select them

Thanks & Regards,
Archana

Hi!

Those would be the possible values to be selected in the combo, you have to put then within the <constraint> tag: (this would be a YES/NO/INDETERMINATED combo)


<constraint name="pre:yesno" type="LIST">
         <parameter name="allowedValues">
            <list>
               <value>Yes</value>
               <value>No</value>
               <value>Indeterminated</value>
            </list>
         </parameter>
      </constraint>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

To associate the constraint with the property of a type just write this code:


<type name="pre:oneType">
         <title>One kind of type</title>
         <parent>cm:content</parent>
         <properties>
            <property name="pre:whatever">
               <type>d:text</type>
                <multiple>false</multiple>
                    <index enabled="true">
                  <tokenised>true</tokenised>
               </index> 
                    <constraints>
                       <constraint ref="pre:yesno"/>
               </constraints>
                  </property>
               </properties>
            </type>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Instead of 'pre' write the prefix you want to use…

I hope it will help you!

I suppose you have created a new xml, let say "customModel.xml". All this code would be written in the customModel.xml file.

Hope I´m helpfull…

im not getting any exception,but hw it gets reflected,like if we add ascept then we can view it in rules but wt abt type

Re: Custom aspetcs

fstnboy — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 13:05:03 GMT

The properties of the type must be shown in the creation/edition of the space´s details…

Are them shown?

Hi,

my requirement actually is ,in a particular space when i upload a document it should give me a privilege of adding extra meta data properties in the form of a drop down list which contains static values ,so the user can select the value instead of typing.
We had provided a privilege to type but there are lot many typo mistakes so that is the reason we are asking for a drop down list

Re: Custom aspetcs

fstnboy — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 06:45:49 GMT

I suppose that what you need to do is to add a rule and in the actions wizard select the type you want to associate with the uploaded file

archana_bonkanp — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 09:53:05 GMT

Sorry, but my english is not as good as I would like. What does struck mean?

An exception is sent or you have problems (you don´t know) how to add the rule?

Sorry for my english… ops:
