Is there a recommended way for such a customized displayer?
I envision a Macro that would take the Class-Atribute Plus the Display-Value
So if a Class-Attribute of type static list would hold 5 options and the
display shows option 3 is selected
What about this pseudocode
#set($finalDisplayResult =’')
#set($listOptions = $class.attribute.getOptions)
#foreach($listOption in $listOptions)
#if($listOption == $doc.display(’StaticList’))
#set($displayResult = ’1’)
#else
#set($displayResult = ’0’)
#end
$AddDisplayResult($displayResult)
#end
#macro($AddDisplayResult $displayResult)
…. Display formatting
#end
Q: How do I get the listOptions?
Q: How do I make sure the formatting is about the same as
$doc.display(’StaticList’) in EDIT Mode?
