  • Use undocumented site.ini setting to make it work like it used to

    I just spent three hours trying to figure out why this function no longer allows you to upload new objects and edit existing ones after upgrading a large site for a client... Turns out it was changed on purpose and that there's an undocumented site.ini setting to make it work like it used to:

    [BackwardCompatibilitySettings]
    AdvancedObjectRelationList=enabled

  • INI-based limitations for browse selection method

    If you choose the selection method "browse", you can configure which browse type has to be used with an undocumented setting in content.ini:
    [ObjectRelationDataTypeSettings]
ClassAttributeStartNode[]
ClassAttributeStartNode[]=240;AddRelatedImageToDataType


    Where 240 is the class attribute id and AddRelatedImageToDataType is the browse type (this type can be configured in browse.ini).

    If for a specific class attribute no browse type has been specified, AddRelatedObjectListToDataType is used.

    The Object Relation datatype uses the same settings, but the default browse type is AddRelatedObjectToDataType.

    The last paragraph should read:

    ...or an array of ezcontentobject objects.

    (The link target is correct.)
