XML parameters for views

Post by uweD » Sun Sep 02, 2007 11:57 pm

Hi all,

And another question with regards to views: With a view usually comes an xml file which describes the view, It has the name of the view (obviously with xml as extension). It pretty much looks like that:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<metadata>
   <layout title="Create Objects">
      <message>
         <![CDATA[CREATE OBJECT]]>
      </message>
   </layout>
   <state>
      <name>Create Objects</name>
      <description>CREATE OBJECT</description>
      <params>
      <task>createObject</task>
      </params>   
   </state>
</metadata>


Does anyone know where I can find information which other xml expressions I can use in those files?

I actually look for a possibility to set the 'task' for that view.
