Description

This application is a helper for simple users that allows them to design the fields of a DataBase List, which is used as a Static List that users can easily edit, without needing editing rights on the class.

Information

If you need an internationalized version of this extension, see MultiLingualDBListManager Application. It supports translated values.

Usage

Just write:

{{dblist_manager property='..' wikiclass='..' showQuery='true|false' documentHandler='..' showTitle='true|false' /}}

Where :

  • "property" is the property of the class to manage (must be a Database List!).
  • "wikiclass" is the class which contains the property.
  • "showQuery" (optional) is for the class designer: display or not the query to put on the "Hibernate Query" field of the property. (default: false)
  • "documentHandler" (optional) is the document where the Database list entries will be saved. Default: the current document where is used this macro.
  • "showTitle" (optional) shows or not the title. (default: true)

Then, in your class, you can create a 'Database List' property and fill in the 'Hibernate Query' the content that you can display with showQuery parameter of the macro.

Example of use

  1. In your class, add a Database List field
