Editing Class Objects and Folders >>

Displaying Classes


  

Once a class is properly set up, you can click on the accordant icon or class name in the main menu to manage its objects. You will then get to a screen where all relevant folders and objects are displayed.

For getting objects and folders for displaying in this section, only the object table containing object_name, object_version, object_parent, ... is read out. The metadata are not available for performance reasons. Only if a live class search is performed the according metadata will be considered on this screen.

Notice: In the case of an image class, thumbnails for each object will also be shown. To define image classes, use the $imageClasses variable in backend/common/config.inc.php.

To create a new object, press the “New Object” button in the class objects header line. To edit an object simply click on its name.

There are two grey arrow buttons in each object line allowing you to change the order of objects within a class. This is relevant as it is mostly the order as they will appear in the frontend application unless the data is retrieved by a user-defined function.

Then, you will see a red, yellow or green icon representing the current permission level of the object. Green (or perm level 2) means that the object is visible in the frontend, while a red (perm level 0) status hides the object to visitors. Yellow (perm level 1) is a value in between which can be useful for editorial purposes.

When you move your mouse over the little wrench at the end of each object line, some more actions will be offered to you in a context menu: an alternative edit button , the possibility to create a bookmark for this object and the deletion of an object . Furthermore, you can set the permissions for this object. If someone has only the rights to read the contents of this object, he can do this by clicking the “Read” button. Finally, the creation and change dates of the object are displayed as well as the user who last changed it.

For deleting and moving multiple objects in a convenient way, use the “Advanced Editing Functions” . By choosing this option, a checkbox will appear in front of each object. Select as many objects as you want before clicking on “Delete” or “Move” to perform the chosen action (in the latter case after you have selected the target folder as well).
