Subelement not shown correctly in story
|
|
Hello,
I'm trying to create a site-wide (placed in the root category) table
subelement, which has roughly the following structure:
- Element Type : table Min. 0 Max. 0
Field (select): table_style Min. 1 Max. 1 (I'm using Bricolage 1.11.2)
Subelement: table_row Min. 1 Max. 0
Field (checkbox): is_header Min. 1 Max. 1
Subelement: table_cell Min. 1 Max. 0
Field (WYSIWYG): contents Min. 1 Max. 1
That is, by default my table has 1 row and 1 cell which you have to fill
out with contents.
When I try to use this element "table" in my new stories, after adding
the table_row, I get the default table_cell, but not the default
contents field. If I add another "table_cell" subelement to the same
row, a second correctly shown "table-cell"-subelement along its
corresponding contents"-field appears. I have then to delete the
"faulty" first "table_cell" subelement.
I can provide screenshots for this.
Do you suspect what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks for your help.
Best,
Michael

I'm getting back to this issue, because after trying different scenarios it still doesn't work for me under Bricolage 1.11.2, and I don't know whether I should post a bug.
My first assumption was that this is an IU related issue, because after inserting the element instance in the story I can still see the correct structure through the bulk edit. Besides this, I've seen noticed some JS errors fired up by Xinha (something about a parent node without an existing id). So I've recreated my table element with a row subelement consisting of plain text fields instead of WYSIWYG-fields for the cells. The problem is still there when inserting the table element in my story. Then I've recreated the table element for a fixed number of columns (in my case: 3), in order to avoid adding code to correct input errors like column number inconsistencies among rows. Now I have a table element with a row subelement consisting of 3 plain text fields. If I make the row subelement "required", then the UI is unable to insert the element instance showing the row with the three cells, whereas if I define it as not required, I simple add the first row and the subsequent rows manually in my story and everything is
fine...
Best,
Michael
