Helper to manage Database List values (used like a Static list) of a class (i18n version)

Description

This application is an 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. This new version handle the internationalization, but if you don't need it, you can use the simple DBList Manager Application.

Usage

Manager

Just write:
{{mldblist_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.

Displayer

Then, instead of writing:
$doc.getObject('MySpace.MyClass').display('myProperty')

You can write:
{{mldblist_display property='myProperty' objClass='MySpace.MyClass' objNumber="$doc.getObject('MySpace.MyClass').getNumber()" /}}

Options are:

• "property" is the name of the field to display
• "objClass" is the class of the object to display
• "objNumber" is the number of the object to display
• "objDoc" is the document that contains the object to display (default: current document)
• "mode" is the mode of the rendering (could be 'view' or 'edit', default: the current edition mode)
• "fieldName is the name of the input field (only when the mode is 'edit', default: something like MySpace.MyClass_0_myProperty)

Examples of use

Manager

1. In your class, add a Database List field
   
2. In the page where you want the user can customise it, call the macro:
   
   (or)
   
3. Get the Hibernate Query
   
4. Put it on the "Hibernate Query" field of your property in your class:
