typeadmin customtag

[Theo Galanakis]

Hi All,

I'm trying to add a new column to the events admin tabulated
view. I have looked at the typeadmin.cfm customtag and it appears that
it gets the default columns(select,edit,view...) from the typeadmin.cfc.
What I want to do is get the default values, however add another column
at a certain position. Am I over-engineering here:

Before I call the customadmin.cfm customtag. I call the
customadmin.cfc method of getDefaultColumns().
Then I create a new array with one element holding the new
column values that I want.
Then add it to the default values array at the correct array
Position. Finally passing in into the customadmin.cfm customtag as
attributes.aColumns.

So essentially it's the default column plus one additional
custom column.

Is there an easier way to do this?

Theo

typeadmin.cfc is not designed to be called directly -- it really only
exists to simplify the complexity of typeadmin.cfm.

To change columns you need to generate an array of column data with the
relevant data structure per column and pass that in as an attribute or
use the typeadmincolumn child tag which will do much the same but in a
more tag friendly way.

Hi Geoff,

I have tried both however the default buttons have security
complexities around their properties. I did not want to have to
duplicate that. I thought it would be far cleaner to call the
getDefaultColumns() and then append my changes. Is there a way to get
the default properties? Or how can you just add one extra column without
having to re-code the default button properties?

I don't think you can. The permission attribute for the buttons is just the text label from the policy eg. NewsDelete, EventEdit, etc. You can add your own permissions or just use the News set of permisions (NewsApprove, NewsCanApproveOwnContent, NewsCreate, NewsDelete, NewsEdit).

You can change the columns and buttons separately. If you don't have any code setting buttons, you'll end up with the default ones.
