Is there some
registration process to get items to appear on that list? I tried adding users; that seemed to reuse the
existing user list. At
the same time, I didn't see a direct way to add a user; that is, I had
to add the list, and then hit the add button of the list.
I do not understand.
When you referred to things being addressable through
the web, in
response to my earlier question about security, I had assumed that the
components of a page were not addressable. I see now that most
components, if included through +path/component+, are addressable (and
presumably can be viewed separately if one is so inclined).
Yes, if you have the permissions you can individually navigate to the
components, given that there is a link or that you know the URL.
Typically components are not linked directly though, but embedded into
some other page.
The concrete problem motivating these questions is
that I want to
display a list of files whose name match a certain pattern in a certain
directory. The pattern and the directory could be hardcoded, but it
would be more interesting if they were editable in the web.
You can do this with something like this:
+value:children|link|target=/path/to/directory|select=File+ These are directed to my component, not the children?
But the thing
with +value:children...+ is a PRPage, not my component, so that won't
work. So maybe my component should subclass PRPage?
PRPage is a model object.
WAComponent is a view object.
See <http://www.piercms.com/doc> for details.
