string

Yes.

contentobject_version_object

object

No.

The current version (as ezcontentobjectversion) of the object that the node encapsulates.

Returns TRUE if the current user can remove the node (FALSE otherwise).

can_move

boolean

No.

Returns TRUE if the current user can move the node to another location (FALSE otherwise).

can_move_from

boolean

Not documented yet.

creator

object

No.

The object (as ezcontentobject) containing the user who created the node.

path

array

No.

Array containing the nodes that make up the path as ezcontentobjecttreenode objects. The current node is not included.

path_array

array

No.

Array of strings revealing the ID numbers of the nodes that make up the path. The current node is also included.

parent

object

No.

The parent node (as ezcontentobjecttreenode).

url

The virtual URL of the node in the current language (which is determined according to the list of prioritized languages), for example "company/about_us".

class_identifier

string

No.

The identifier of the class which the object encapsulated by the node is an instance of (for example "product_review").

class_name

string

No.

The name of the class which the object encapsulated by the node is an instance of (for example "Product review").

hidden_invisible_string

string

  • view_count is not working by default

    view_count apparently needs extra magick to work. Either by analyzing apache log in cronjob http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/techn.../the_cronjob_scripts#updateviewcount
    or if you want live updating this code from advancedforums extension (svn) could be helpful:

    count.php
    $Module =& $Params['Module'];
     
    if ( $Params[ 'NodeID' ] )
    {
            include_once( "kernel/classes/ezviewcounter.php");
            $counter = eZViewCounter::fetch( $Params[ 'NodeID' ] );
            if ( !is_object( $counter ) )
            {
                    $counter = eZViewCounter::create( $Params[ 'NodeID' ] );
            }
            $counter->increase();
    }
    eZExecution::cleanExit();
    
  • node.url vs node.url_alias

    this documentation is fairly vague about the difference between node.url and node.url_alias.

    node.url is 'depending on a configuration setting' - so is node.url_alias not ?

    node.url_alias is 'determined according to the list of prioritized languages' - so is node.url not ?

    a short test shows node.url also honors locales in its output .. if this is not 'determined according to the list of prioritized languages', how is it determined ?


  • node.is_invisible > node.is_hidden

    The doc above says
    is_invisible (...) The node's visibility status (0=visible, 1=hidden by superior).
    As far as I know and tested, thats wrong. "1" could mean "hidden" by a user or hidden by superiour. Only if its invisible, but not hidden, it must be hidden by superior.
