Type Maker can be reached through Portal Actions
- Document Types screen
This screen lists all types created with Type Maker.
when a green check is visible, that means the given type
is available through the portal, so it has to be carefully edited.
- You can suppress existing types but beware that all existing
- documents instances of this type will be unreadable.
You can edit existing types or add new ones (object actions) on this screen
- General configuration screen
This screen let you configure all properties founded in type maker
[todo here : explain each property]
On this screen you can :
set Title, Description, and Icon properties of your type.
set if the Type is available to the users.
add, suppress or edit components.
Components marked with a red flag are components that needs
to be configured.
This can be done by clicking on the tool icon.
This is a WYSIWYG layout editor.
- you can drag'n'drop fields in the layout view.
- if enabled, you can work on multiple layouts by adding layouts.
Same as A. but without type common properties.
If your document type is published on the portal, you should be
careful when you are editing it, especially if you're messing with
indexed fields.
When you delete a type is not really deleted, check in the ZMI for
renamed types, if you need to get it back.
Original widgets type should be parsed and shown in TypeMaker.
You can tell if a widget type has required properties by adding in
its properties a new integer key named "is_required" (value: 1).
If you have a problem with some widgets, please submit them.
