Re: [xwiki-users] Display a property edit field out of an object context
Many Thanks Sergiu, it works perfectly with your suggestion ! :) To add transit object on the URL, I just added this in my form : INPUT type=hidden value=$o name=My.Class_0 Jeremie -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Display-a-property-edit-field-out-of-an-object-context-tp1459490p1464397.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
[xwiki-users] Display a property edit field out of an object context
Hello, I created a FAQ application, pretty much like the template, but with an added Category field. This Category is stored in a DBTreeList property, and contains classified categories, sub-categories, sub-sub categories ... When in the context of an FAQ object, this list displays well, and lets the user choose to which category belongs the FAQ entry. To build the WebHome for this FAQ, I would like to give users opportunity to filter FAQ entries depending on this same Category. To do so, IMO what would be logical would be to display this same field based on property Category, in edit mode (to have the drop-down list), but here there is no contextual object. Is there a way to do this easily ? I workarounded it by creating a fake object in my WebHome with same property definition as Category, but then if I want to keep track of what is selected the object value has to be updated each time the user filters the view, and it will be updated for everyone, I think it's a quite ugly solution and I'm looking for something better ... I think this subject might already have been discussed, but could not find anything in the mailing-list, Any ideas welcome ... ;) Best regards, Jeremie -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Display-a-property-edit-field-out-of-an-object-context-tp1459490p1459490.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

I think this subject might already have been discussed, but could not find
anything in the mailing-list,
I don't remember anything on this topic.
A quick suggestion:
- Don't use a real object, instead dynamically create one using
scripting, without saving it (#set($o = $doc.newObject('Your.Class'))
- To remember selected options between requests, put the object in the
URL, or in a form
- To reload the state from the request, use
$doc.updateObjectFromRequest('Your.Class'). This method automatically
creates a new object if one doesn't exist, so you don't even have to
call newObject. Just use:
#set($o = $doc.updateObjectFromRequest('Your.Class'))
