Grouping attributes

Requirements

ATK 6.2+

Summary

In a node it's possible to group attributes for an edit form on 2 ways. With a group and a section.

Sections will create a node level tabbed pane. For tabs as an attribute. See: Grouping attributes into tabs

Sections

Groups a list with attributes on multiple lines which are collapsed by default. When you open a section it will retrieve the attributes with ajax. Sections always appear at the bottom.

Syntax for atkMetaNode based nodes:

public static function meta(atkMetaPolicy $policy)
{
  $this->setSection(array("housenumber", "housenumber_suffix"), "default.address");
}

Syntax for atkNode based nodes:

$this->add(new atkNumberAttribute('housenumber'), 'default.address');
$this->add(new atkAttribute('housenumber_suffix'), 'default.address');

The convention is: <tabname>.<sectionname>, in other words, the above places the attributes in the 'address' section of the default tab. Accepted notations:

• ".address" - Put attribute in the address section if there are no tabs, or on the default tab
• "billing" - Put attribute on the address tab
• "billing.address" - Put attribute in the address section of the billing tab
