Adding New Attribute Type to Forms

Marcelo_Cesario_(azertiauser6_-_(deleted))

Hi.Has anyone succeeded on adding a new attribute type to Forms? The "Attribute Package" module (in Preview Center), which adds new attributes types to Livelink, only works for WF Attributes and Category Attributes, but not for Form Attributes.If someone complied this, please tell me what objects to orphan and what else need to be modified in order to integrate new attr types to Forms.So far i have orphaned LLAttribute and WebAttribute objects.Thanks in advance.

I think it is a problem when webform is initialising i.e. it is not a problem in your attribute more that webforms doesn't calls to check for customized attributesIf I found something I let you know...Regarding to the documentation i feel it should be supported .....\builder\documentation\ModuleIndex\webattribute\WebAttribute.htmlAll attributes, including LLAttribute, this and its subclasses, are singletons. One instance is created at initialization, and then that instance is mapped and used as an information source to describe the attribute, its relationships to other attributes, and its behavior.

Hi,we already made modules with customized form attributes.Did you already "register" your new attribute types to the forms customID?LL make this in the FormAPIRoot.Startup script. You need to add your new attribute types to this registration. In the LL AttributePkg module they do this in their modules startup script with the function "RegisterCatAttrs".I hope this is helpful for you.

The problem is that in the LLAttributePkg they don't registrate the variables on WebformsAfter a fast try it looks like ypu by changening the above mentioned LLAttributePkg to do a registration on 3 then you get all the customized attributes also in the WEBform ...It would be nice if we get some feecback from OT engineering if there is any problems and also when we get better documentation...This is the same problem as the missing JavaDoc issue on LAPI it takes ages to do something nice ....RegardsMagnus S?lg?salgo@ids.se
