RE: [Modus-devs] XML descriptor of linked contentObjects

[Nathan D. <na...@ch...>]

So, myorg.post would have to extend the objectCollection field?

If that is what you are suggesting, I'm not sure I like that a contentObject
needs to know that it could end up as a field.  That's why I am thinking
that making a field type objectCollection and then passing the configuration
data from the descriptor of the contentObject type that wants to make the
link makes sense.

Or, am I missing your point?

    While we're on this topic, I am not sure how Jeremy's suggestion would
work:


      <field name="posts"
        label="Posts"
        type="org.bacfug.modus.fields.objectcollection"
        key="postid"/>

    I do not understand how it knows it is dealing with the post component.
    Please explain.

  Sorry for the confusion. I got hung up on the objectcollection idea. It's
supposed to read type="myorg.post" which extends
"org.bacfug.modus.fields.objectcollection" in it's descriptor. Hope that
clarifies things.
