Movable containers

tobias

Hi everyone. We are using TS 6.7.1 on Solaris.

On my website there shall be a list of elements, each represented by a DCT container. The order of these elements should be set by the editor in TeamSite. However, each of these elements must not be displayed more than once.

I tried it with a parent <container> with "combination='or'" but this allows the user to select the individual (sub-)containers more than once.

When I simply list the containers one after the other, their order will not be changeable by the editor.

Does any of you have an idea how to create this functionality (maybe by applying FormAPI - e.g. removing the already selected containers from the selection list?)

Thanks for your input.

I believe FormAPI's onReplicantBeforeAdd event handler is what you're looking for - any time someone goes to add a new instance of the replicant container, the type of the to-be-added instance should be checked against the types of all pre-existing instances - if it is unique, return true, otherwise return false.
