The more I look into Farcry the more I release how much I don't know. How do some objects like dmNews and dmHTML, when edited, get Complete / Cancel buttons on the right hand side, verses buttons on the bottom of the form? -- AJ Mercer Web Log: http://webonix.net Once you come to the realisation that everyone is crazy, You will never be surprised or disappointed ever again.

Buttons to the right mean a multi-step wizard. To make this magic happen, add ftWizardStep="Step Name" to each of your cfproperty tags - very similar to the way ftfieldset works. That's it. Some debate internally as to whether or not we make everything a wizard -- that is, simple forms with only fieldsets use the wizard format and have only one step. Would maintain consistency in the UI. But the jury is still out. -- geoff http://www.daemon.com.au/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "farcry-beta" group.

Hmm, that is what I originally thought, but it did not do anything. Maybe I should update the application. On Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 5:32 PM, modius <modius@...> wrote:

I took another look at dmNews.cfc and noticed it had some extra attributes in the CFCOMPONENT tag namely: bSchedule="true" bFriendly="true" bObjectBroker="true" When I added these to my component I got the wizard magic I was after :-) But I am not sure which one did it based on what this is telling me
bSchedule has been Deprecated
bFriendly is for SES URLs bObjectBroker is to activeate object broker
The attributes did not have an affect on the form component :-(
But Geoff already said this would be the case in another thread; but I still had to go and stick my finger in the socket to find out for myself.

Would maintain consistency in the UI. > But the jury is still out. You have my vote to keep the consistent layout (as well as most of my clients). But if there is a reason to possibly keep both, then maybe add a simple switch. Example: In cfcomponent tag allow a new attribute bForceWizardLayout="true|false" (where I'd just make it a habit to always force it to true on all my apps past and present). Or something with more future growth: ftLayout="standard/wizard|non- standard--find-the-button--nope-keep-scrolling--yup-way-down-there- like-FarCry-2".

I like the idea of having an consistent interface, no matter if you are editing a core, farcryCMS or custom type. If you are going for a wizrd interface, it is nice to have the cancel & save buttons in the side bar with all the next / prev buttons and navigation links so you can jump out at any of the steps.
If it is a one page form, then the side bar may seem unnecessary, but it keeps everything consistent. On Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 1:37 PM, Jeff Coughlin <jeff@...> wrote:
