User Manager: new feature group edit HOWTO


1) Add column grouptitle:
--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------
ALTER TABLE wbgroup ADD COLUMN grouptitle VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT "";
UPDATE wbgroup SET grouptitle=groupname;
--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------

3) Adjust table.xml
You probably want to sort by grouptitle and it is good to define a limit.
--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------
    <table id="group">
        <table>wbgroup</table>
        <primary>gid</primary>
        <avoiddublicate>groupname</avoiddublicate>
        <limit>25</limit>
        <order>
            <item>
                <field>grouptitle</field>
                <asc>1</asc>
            </item>
        </order>
    </table>
--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------


3) Adjust userEdit.xml
File: etc-default/user/manager/userEdit.xml
Adjust element "groups" to your needs. Most peolpe do soemthing like:
--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------
            <element id="groups">
                <type>SwitchGroup</type>
                <attributes>
                    <required>no</required>
                    <title>Groups</title>
                    <label>Groups</label>
                    <description>Group membership of this user</description>
                    <clicklabel>yes</clicklabel>
                    <class>field switch</class>
                    <required>no</required>
                    <values />
                </attributes>
                <attributesource>
                    <item>
                        <attribute>values</attribute>
                        <name>Table</name>
                        <labelformat>%s (%s %s)</labelformat>
                        <labelcolumns>
                            <item>grouptitle</item>
                            <item>groupname</item>
                            <item>gid</item>
                        </labelcolumns>
                    </item>
                </attributesource>
            </element>
--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------

4) Add template files:
template/User/Manager/menu.tmpl
template/User/Manager/groupEdit.tmpl
template/User/Manager/groupEditValid.tmpl
template/User/Manager/groupRm.tmpl
template/User/Manager/groupDeleted.tmpl
template/User/Manager/groupList.tmpl
template/User/Manager/groupList_entry.tmpl

You probably want to include the menu.tmpl in old user*.tmpl files.
--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------
<patTemplate:tmpl src="User/Manager/menu.tmpl" />
--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------

5) Add form defintion
etc-default/user/manager/groupEdit.xml
