Hi David,
I don't actually use ProjectWonder:( I tried to look at it but it
pretty much scared me;)
I'll probably give it another try;)
Thanks for the pointer, I'll have a look at it.

Hi list,
After trying to figure out the best way to handle the following, I
came up with... nothing.
I have a parent class Product and subclasses
-ProductTypeA
-ProductTypeB
and a couple more types;)
I'd like to display the informations (the shared one (from
Product) like "price", and the specific to a type ones, lets say
"speed") of the product.
I was first thinking about doing a template for each type of
product, but this isn't really good as I would have to update
every template whenever I update one.
So I was thinking about creating one template that would get all
the attributes (with conditionals) and create instance variables
for every attributes and conditionals inside the template component.
Then I wanted to do something like: (pseudo code;))
if object instanceof ProductType1 then
cast object to productType1 variable
set all the attributes and conditionals
I think it could work, but I'm not really sure I'm going the right
direction...
So many times people of the list showed me a lot more simpler and
efficient way to go, so maybe this time again.
Anyone with a point of view?
Personally, I'd probably avoid setting up instance variables unless
you'd see significant performance problems from not.
Since I use ProjectWonder I'd take a look at
ERXInstanceOfConditional and use that in my component.
