Contactivity releases 'ObjectRelationBrowse' datatype for eZ publish

Contactivity has released a new datatype for eZ publish that makes it easy to take full advantage of the functionality for object linking and embedding offered by eZ publish. The datatype has been released under GNU GPL and is available for download from the eZ publish website.

eZ publish 3 supports the creation of relations between all kinds of content types and content objects. The objectrelationbrowse datatype for eZ publish version 3.5 provides a user friendly interface that simplifies the process of establishing such links.

The datatype uses 'Ajax' technology to display all available objects in a single, dynamically filterable list. Ajax is shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript + XML.

With this datatype it becomes possible to:

  1. display all available objects in a single, dynamically filterable list;
  2. allow the selection of multiple objects from a list in a single action;
  3. create one-to-one or one-to-many object relations; and
  4. store the object relation between objects so a reverse object relation becomes available.
