Trying to move an object via custom edit template

Tuesday 15 November 2005 2:36:28 pm

Hi,

This is hopefully quite simple, but Im having a brain block.

I have a custom class which can be:
created (works)
viewed (works)
archived (moves object to a new folder - dosent work)
by various users on the non admin interface so Ive created custom templates to do that.

I figure creation and archiving a form of edit - ie its just changing the default location/parent node of the object but I cant seem to make it work.

I basically want the view form to have an archive button, and went clicked it asks for confirmation (from an edit template) and then moves it.

code below if its a new form it gets user input - if its an existing form it shows the data and should submit with a move to the new location.

   <h1> Form Title </h1>

<form enctype="multipart/form-data"
      method="post"
      action={concat("/content/edit/",
                     $object.id,
                     "/",
                     $edit_version)|ezurl}>
                     
    
   {include uri="design:content/edit_validation.tpl"} 
   

   {* DETERMINE IF THIS EDIT IS A NEW FORM OR FOR ARHIVE *}
   
   
   
   {$content|attribute(show,1)}
   
   
    {section show=$content_attributes.0.has_content|not}
       {set newform=true}  {* NEW *}
    {section-else}
       {set newform=false} {* ARHIVE *}
    {/section}

   
   <table class="layout" border="0">                  
      {section name=ContentObjectAttribute loop=$content_attributes)}
      
        <tr> 
            <td> 
               <p><b><label>{$ContentObjectAttribute:item.contentclass_attribute.name|wash}</label></b></p></div>
               <input type="hidden" name="ContentObjectAttribute_id[]" value="{$ContentObjectAttribute:item.id}" />
               {section show=$newform|eq(true)}
                  {attribute_edit_gui attribute_base=$attribute_base attribute=$ContentObjectAttribute:item}
               {section-else}
                  {attribute_view_gui attribute_base=$attribute_base attribute=$ContentObjectAttribute:item}
               {/section}
            </td>
         </tr> 
      {/section}
   </table>
         
             archive node={$archive_node}               
         
         <div class="buttonblock">
            {section show=$newform|eq(true)}   
               <input class="defaultbutton"
                  type="submit"
                  name="PublishButton"
                  value="Submit"/>
            {section-else}
                <input class="defaultbutton"
                  type="submit"
                  name="PublishButton"
                  value="Confirm Archive"/>
            {/section}
               
               <input class="button"
                  type="submit"
                  name="DiscardButton"
                  value="Cancel" />
                  
                  
               {section show=$newform|eq(true)}   
                  <input type="hidden"
                     name="MainNodeID"
                     value="{$form_node}" />
               {section-else}
                  {* this is one of my attempts to make it work which was unsuccessful *}
                  <input type="hidden"
                     name="MainNodeID"
                     checked="checked"
                     value="{$archive_node}" />
               {/section}
          </div>
       </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
 </form>

the error I get on trying to move it is:

Location did not validate

    * No main node selected, please select one.

any help greatly appreciated.

cheers

addendum - Exponential 3.4.4 - Archive folder is fixed and $archived_node and $form_node are passed to this template (they are fixed, archive folder resides in the form folder)
