Re: [Apc-aa-coders] Displaying items in the holding bin

[Honza M. <hon...@ec...>]

Hi Jane,

   we generalise manager.class.php3, which is able to manage more than
three bins, but unfortunately we do not support it in the other code, so
at this time it is useless for your purpose.

   You have to use Jason's "Expiry date" trick, or you can add special
field (say "Go public" checkbox  - maybe with live checkbox
functionality - http://actionapps.org/faq/detail.shtml?x=3D1679).

   In such case you will be able to filter only items, which have "Go
public" set and the ones which don't. The disadvantage is, that you have
to think about such filtering in all of your public listings.

   In admin interface you are able to store your Search (see "Store" in
searchbox above items in Item Manager), so you will be able to switch
between "Go public bins" this way.

   Honza
