Form API

Here in the Faculty of Medicine at Monash Uni I have set up 8 branches. 7 branches represent 7 schools which contain the depratments within each of the school and public branch for the main Faculty level area.

In each branch I have set an assets dir which contains images and includes. There is 1 templatedata in public which all branches will utilize.

My question is has any body written or can give any ideas as to a Form API that when a specific branch only has access to their assets/images assets/includes and not the root public assets dir.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
in advance
Craig

Hi Craig,

You can look at Inline option on the Data Capture Templates where you can point to suitable branch/Workarea/directory locations based on the current context (Environment) of the User. For further details, you can have a look at Page 55 of the Templating Developers Guide.

I hope it helps.

Hi Craig,

Welcome to DevNet!

I'm not sure I completely understand what you are after. Can I ask why you thought you needed 8 branches for your site? These early decisions can be quite important in structuring your CMS solution. Otherwise you can create problems for yourself Smiley Happy

Hope I can help out.

Cheers

I guess one way to achieve this is by setting the user group of the public folders different from the user groups of the remaining seven branch user groups assuming that the user groups are different.

I am not sure I understand the question, but I think you could do an onSaveValid trigger to validate the selected items against the workarea name, alert and return false if an invalid selection was made for a given workarea. I would not recommend this though.
