jcRemoteID extension for eZPublish
jcRemoteID is an extension allowing users to set Object RemoteID and Node RemoteID directly from the Administration
Interface:
- with a custom module/view (remoteid/update/) available from the context menu (main one, on full view)
- or using a custom a datatype, (*1)
This extension has been created to avoid the usage of nodeID or objectID within configuration (any ini) and also
override.ini (not documented but override are working on remote id condition)., (*2)
The main interest of this is to be able to use the same remote id in multiple environments (dev, test, production) for
nodes or objects (whereas object id or node id are auto increment)., (*3)
Installation
- download the extension, activate it, clear caches
- to allow setting remote ids via the module, give to the users you want a policy to RemoteID/set
Using Remote ID in fetches
