Datatypes extension – alpha release
July 25th, 2006
A new extension has joined the contributions on ez.no: datatypes (pubsvn). It contains a datatypes module with
- a view to list the datatype usage (how many and which class attributes use the datatype) and
- a view to convert class attributes (and the content of it’s corresponding content attributes) from one datatype to another.
The datatypes extension is still in alpha state, don’t use the datatype conversion feature on a production site!
Already identified improvements are:
- a command line conversion script
- support for some standard datatypes (eztext <> ezxmltext, ezdate <> ezdatetime)
These features will be implemented when I need them at my work or when I have some spare time and I don’t know anything else to do (but since I’m involved in a lot of stuff, this doesn’t happen very often). Feel free to contribute and make your own conversion plugins.

I like this extension.
An add on would be to allow datatypes to be disabled if they are not in us, by adjusting content.ini through the click of a button
It would also be nice to be able to merge one class into another by choosing which datatypes should link up and have the tool change the datatypes and content using the current methods.
