Several Plugins are available here:

(note anyone can contribute to this -- the WIKI is open; you just need
to register)

And we're working on a plugin directory to work with the "to be
developed" plugin explorer.

It's hard to make a truly generic plugin. It's not so much not

Farcry Help Section and Plugins

Farcry Help Section
One idea we started to use in V4 was a help icon taking the user to a
global help section, this in V5 could be a section of daemon's site or
the developers server (ideally for customised work).
If this was set-up for contribution, all of us could add to this. Some
of the posts on this and other groups would be great to have amended

Hi Geoff,

Your suggestion works perfectly.

Thanks so much,

Hmm.. i wonder if you couldn't just extend dmFile and set the default
value for "status" to approved. That might do the trick.

Matt is the master of that domain at the moment so you'll need to talk
to him. But the consensus here is that "type webskin" is not user
friendly, so the paradigm needs to be refined.

Hi Geoff,

Here's the business requirement:

"Our clients are often forgetting to approve documents, which causes
them great consternation when they find that the documents are not
published. Since they really don't care about approving documents, we
thought it would be easier for them if we just turned off document

So would the "Type webskin" drop down appear underneath the "Create
child" drop down?

Firstly, workflow is *not* on by default for custom objects. It is
for most core/cms objects.

If the content type extends "versions" then you will have an approval
workflow.
If the content type extends "types" and has no status property, then
there will be no workflow.

Also you could use a beforeSave() method in your content type to

Also, NearCry sample project and skins leverage a new approach to
building out webskins that makes the process of re-skinning or theming
sites really easy. It's possible that the skin changer will not work
all that well for you if you are deploying into an existing
application that has not used this approach.

The main difference between the NearCry distribution and just installing the
blog and skin plugins is that NearCry has a webtop targeted towards blog
writers. If you just use the plugin you will have a normal webtop structure.

That is going to be refactored quite a bit in the next release, but the gist
is that it allows you to select a type webskin (displayType*) to attach
directly to a menu item. A type webskin essentially becomes a type specific
include.

I did without much difficulty but I haven't done the install the way the
Wiki says (new install option) so I don't know if I'm missing anything. In
development, it's working quite nice for me.

How much effort do you think would be involved if one wanted to add
this to an existing farcry install as a plugin only?

Navigation creation question

2008-08-20T10:46:53Z

In 5.0.2 when a user creates a new navigation node they are presented
with an "Advanced Options" area which contains several form control
options.

The "create child" option makes sense and is a great addition, but
what does the "Type webskin" do? It doesn't appear obvious
particularly as you've already chosen to create a new navigation node,

Approval System: How to turn it off

2008-08-18T23:03:41Z

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to turn off the approval system in
FarCry 5. If an item is added, it would immediately have "approved"
instead of "draft" status.

Thanks,
