At the TikiFest, there was a discussion about this. Attributes are extra info about any object (wiki pages, articles, etc.) They could be used to help bridge objects and trackers. For example, a calendar item could have several attributes. One of these attributes could be a link to trackers, thus permitting any object to be extended with custom extra fields (vaporware for now but that's the idea) They are __not__ destined to replace trackers. In fact, there is a tracker back-end rewrite TikiFest in the air (in Boston, after Tiki6LTS) Best regards, M :-) |

hi, btw, i believe they're commonly called "hooks" in other open source software (like Xaraya for example) but i like "attributes" more because they're better translantable for i18n :) good idea, we have this in MyTiki user preferences but this was surely missing in more Tiki features luci On 07/19/2010 11:19 AM, Marc Laporte wrote: > > At the TikiFest, there was a discussion about this. > > Attributes are extra info about any object (wiki pages, articles, etc.) > > They could be used to help bridge objects and trackers. > > For example, a calendar item could have several attributes.
