Does anyone have any answer to this problem?

Hi Marko

I have used these form variables sucessfully in versions of ezPublish prior to the 3.5 series. However there seems to be some changes in how this is hanled in the 3.5 series. This is likely to be due to the fact that the node location functionallity has moved from the object editing screen.

After a quick look at the source code (hint hint :) it appears that the varaible useNodeAssigments must be set to 1 for these variables to be used (it is set to 0 by default).

The following variables must also be set or the placement will fail:
+ MainNodeID
+ SortOrderMap
+ SortFieldMap

The function to look at is storeNodeAssignments starting at line 226 of kernel/content/node_edit.php

At this point in time I have not tested this functionallity, only looked at the source.

Cheers
bruce

What is the purpose of this variables:

+ SortOrderMap
+ SortFieldMap

I saw them in edit_placement.tpl but it seems to me that they are used to browse for additional locations, not to set them.

+ SortOrderMap
+ SortFieldMap

I believe they are used to set the ordering of the newly created node (how the children of the newly created node will be ordered).

Ahh, Thank you Bruce!

Your explanation of the SortOrderMap and SortFieldMap make a lot of sense and clarify the last little bit I did not understand the first time around.

While I've not used this functionality yet, I believe in it and urge anyone else trying to use it to read the applicable kernel/ source code.

Perform some interactive debugging with tracer bullet output ( echo/print() )and breakpoints ( die() ) with all cache <b>disabled</b> to learn for yourself just how to successfully develop using this functionality.

I'll probably try it in a week or two (don't have time right now). If I have success I'll reported here.
