Step 1: Entry Types

Step 1: Entry Types

Start a new Kickstarter project

umkickstarter -n de.pinuts.tutorial cd umkickstarter # Copy your partner license file to env/devel/cmsbs-conf/cmsbs.license gradle setup run

Entry Types

The data model is to contain at least four different domain objects or Entry Types:

  • employees

  • customers

  • partnering shipping companies

  • trucks of that shipping companies

Custom attributes

Employees, customers and shipping companies can be represented by UM entries utilizing only standard attributes. Only trucks seem to stand out; here we need to create a few extra attributes to adequately represent them:

cmsbs-conf/conf.d/truck.attributes:

registration_number.type = STRING registration_number.title = Registration number additional.attributes[] = registration_number max_payload.type = INTEGER max_payload.title = Max. payload in kg additional.attributes[] = max_payload attribute.groups[] = truck grp.truck.members = registration_number max_payload grp.truck.title = Truck

Entry Types

Now we can setup a magic attribute named entrytype.

cmsbs-conf/conf.d/entrytype.attributes:

entrytype.values[] = employee entrytype.values[] = shipping_company entrytype.values[] = customer entrytype.values[] = truck entrytype.value.employee = Employee entrytype.value.shipping_company = Shipping Company entrytype.value.customer = Customer entrytype.value.truck = Truck

Customize Entry views

Now, we’ll customize the Entry views for our four different Entry Types.

cmsbs-conf/entryTypes/type_shipping_company.properties:

# Show only certain attribute groups: attribute.groups = *std_personal *std_contact *std_address # Show these attributes in attribute group 'std_personal': grp.std_personal.members = login_name company lang cmsbs.isadmin admin_role password # Show these attributes in attribute group 'std_contact': grp.std_contact.members = phone mobile fax email

cmsbs-conf/entryTypes/type_employee.properties:

attribute.groups = *std_personal *std_contact *std_address grp.std_personal.members = login_name salut title firstname lastname lang cmsbs.isadmin admin_role password grp.std_contact.members = phone mobile fax email

cmsbs-conf/entryTypes/type_customer.properties:

attribute.groups = *std_personal *std_contact grp.std_personal.members = salut title firstname lastname company street zip city country grp.std_contact.members = phone mobile fax email

cmsbs-conf/entryTypes/type_truck.properties:

# Show only one attribute groups: attribute.groups = *truck

Before we can use our new Entry Types we have to comment in one line in build.gradleso the builder knows where to put our entryTypes

fileTree('cmsbs-conf/entryTypes').each {target -> ln(target, new File(pinuts.um.cmsbsConfDir, 'entryTypes')) } // fileTree('cmsbs-conf/adminRoles').each {target -> // ln(target, new File(pinuts.um.cmsbsConfDir, 'adminRoles')) // }

After dropping the database and restarting we should be able to create an Entry of each of these four Entry Types and see the customized view and edit pages in action:

gradle destroy gradle setup run
