Related objects

These documentation pages are no longer maintained. Please visit the new documentation site.

Related objects are files you can connect to other objects. That can be an article, a product or a picture etc.

Let us say that you have an article in which you want to add another article and a picture. Again, you have to find the specific article that you want to work with. Open the article with the "Edit" button and you will find the "Related objects" function on the right hand side.

With this function you can include other files in your article. include other articles, images, MPEG's etc. Click the "Find object" button (magnifying glass) and find the object that you want to add to your article. Select the file by ticking the tiny box and click the "Select" button. This will take you back to the "Edit article" page and show the selected file in the "Object info" box. If you want to add this file in the article paste it where you want it or use use the "Include in article" button (eZ publish online editor).

The selected object will appear in the article where the indicator is. To move the related object within the article use the cut and paste function or mark it and move it to wherever you want. Go through the same process for all objects that you want to relate or relate all the objects at the same time.

All the related objects will appear in the "Related objects" window, as thumbnails if they are pictures, and "filename" in something else.

NB! If you use Internet Explorer there is a WYSIWYG editor available from www.ez.no that will make the entire "Related objects" process even easier.

"where the indicator is"

In 3.4.1, eg when editing an article, related objects are listed in the right side column. The "indicator" is the HTML snippet below each related object entry, eg <object id='109' /> - and this HTML snippet has to be copied into eg one of the text boxes on the left, wherever you want the related object to appear.
