Albert Balagueró	Monday 18 July 2011 6:08:36 am Hi, I would like to know if is it possible that when user creates a new object of a class, this object gets the value of a class attribute automatically. I mean: the user creates an object that have "number" attribute, "title" attribute and "descripction" attribute, is there a way to give the object's "number" attribute automatically a value? The first created, must be 001 (for example), the second, 002; the third, 003; this attribute will increase +1 at each new creation... Thaks.
Damien Pobel	Monday 18 July 2011 6:24:17 am Hi Albert, If you just want to increment an attribute on each object creation you can add an identifier attribute to your content class and Exponential will do the rest automagically ;-) Cheers Damien Planet eZ Publish.fr : http://www.planet-ezpublish.fr Certification : http://auth.ez.no/certification/verify/372448 Publications about eZ Publish : http://pwet.fr/tags/keywords/weblog/ez_publish
