good thinking, it's one solution at least.
Thanks Arturo.
It's 4.20 am here in the UK, so I'm gonna call it a night since I can not
longer look at the screen for tiredness and sleep deprivation. We'll
continue tomorrow, maybe someone else will have another solution suggested
by then.
night all

Well the search at the moment is finding what I want, all three from any

Yeah, but basically everything else works fine.

Ps. Arturo, can you clarify this a bit more please:
redesign so that the user
can easily distinguish amongst pages?
For example: Say you have three pages named "Home" but the path to them
are distinct such that
Home1's path is http://ROOT/~u1/HOME
Home2's path is http://ROOT/~u2/HOME
Home3's path is http://ROOT/~admin/HOME
then maybe you can display distinct paths?
A different tack at explaining: I'm using your system. I see a popdown
list and it has 3 "Homes"
in it. How am I to know which one I should look at/edit/etc? Well then
I should eliminate the dups.
OK. So, now we eliminate the duplicates from the popdown list. So, I
pick the one "Home" and then
I must get a page that shows me the three potential "Homes" I could work
with? Or am I only supposed
to be working with one? If that's the case then how come I could see 3
before?
In other words, there's got to be something that distinguishes these
duplicate homes.
Yes, for the most part the status attribute, this attribute has to be
unique I'll validate it (not done yet) so that you can't have two
navPageNames marked 01 for example... one would have to be 01 the other
02, their contents in the navPageContent attribute will then list on the
web page in that order if their visibility is set to "on". if the
visibility is set to off the item won't show but the objects will still
obviously list in a sorted order. So if there was a "Home" with a status
of 03 (visibility on), but the Home page with status 02's visibility was
off, "Home" status 03 would show it's content next in the page.
How about having the popup list show
01 - Home
03 - Home
...
instead of just Home?
Your displayString binding could be something like
String displayStringForNavPage() {
return Integer.toString(navPage.status()) + " - " + navPage.name();
}
I think you would also need something like
NSArray navPagesArray = EOUtilities.objectsMatchingKeyAndValue(ec,
"NavPage", "visibility", "on");
or somesuch.
