Balazs Halasy	Monday 08 March 2004 12:40:42 am Hmm, What is it that you wish to accomplish/do? I usually just add an additional boolean attribute to the class which says "Show children" - then I make sure that the template code checks this and that it displays the children (in a desired fashion) if the attribute is true (the checkbox is checked). Not sure if this is helps or not... Balazs
Bruce Morrison	Monday 08 March 2004 3:18:14 pm Hi Balazs, I'm tring to give the content editor more control over the content. If I have a content type that has a title and a xml text field, then this custom tag would allow them to place a list of the current nodes children within the text. Because it is in a XML text field it can be placed anywhere within the content and given context. If you add a "show children" attribute that shows the child objects then they are displyed in a static fashion, controled by the template. This also needs to be added to each content type, where as having a custom tag works across all content types (that contain an XML text field). I guess I'm looking at the cleanest way of doing this.

Hi Balazs,

I'm tring to give the content editor more control over the content. If I have a content type that has a title and a xml text field, then this custom tag would allow them to place a list of the current nodes children within the text. Because it is in a XML text field it can be placed anywhere within the content and given context.

If you add a "show children" attribute that shows the child objects then they are displyed in a static fashion, controled by the template. This also needs to be added to each content type, where as having a custom tag works across all content types (that contain an XML text field).
