Rewriting stobj values in edit mode

[Marco van den Oever]

I am trying to set the stobj.status value to a custom value once the
content item is edited.
In edit.cfm i have:

<cfif stobj.status eq "ongelezen">
<cfset stobj.status = "gelezen">
</cfif>

Although the value is present in stobj, the value isn't overwritten by
above cfif set value.
Why not? And how can i achieve this?

Thanks.

I don't know if custom "status" values are supported in Farcry...

Anyway you'll find that the status field is probably being overwritten by various methods in versions.cfc.

If you are aiming for some workflow modification I would recommend creating a new field, e.g. "substatus" and manage this field whilst the object is in draft "status" mode.

If you're providing some sort of translation look at using the i18n functionality...

Hi Joel, i changed the field to substatus, indeed have to remember
that status is a common used field by farcry.

You say:

"If you are aiming for some workflow modification I would recommend
creating
a new field, e.g. "substatus" and manage this field whilst the object
is in
draft "status" mode."

This custom type is for handling emails, when a email is inserted or
get from the email server the default value is unread, then when a
user goes to the edit page i want the status set to read, i am not
sure how to do that with the usage of draft status mode, do you have
an example of doing so?

The idea is that whilst an item is in draft status it is editable. In this stage you could set the substatus to whatever you wish. However you could just do away with the versioning system altogether and just use the substatus field for all your workflow stuff, as you are doing.

I think I just provided too much information.

I don't understand why this is so difficult to set up, simply setting
a custom value, a substatus field for all workflow just as i was doing
like showed above isn't working, so i have to to use versioning...

I can't grasp a clue on how to check for draft mode etc, also don't
understand why i have to check on that as my logic says that an edit
page is draft mode.

How would you set this up, i can't see it...
