Object TEMPLATES

The HTML block is defined by the CLASS specific TEMPLATES. TEMPLATES are plain HTML files (and possible PHP extension (include files) for more complex interactive functionality). The TEMPLATE files can be edited by the user (caveat emptor) to modifiy the display, but also to ADD, REMOVE, or MODIFY the attributes of an object, which are defined in the systems Knowledge Base as DESCRIPTORS.

In the TEMPLATE, DESCRIPTOR are referenced and displayed by a set of simple "tags" that are parsed when the OBJECT is instantiated through the TEMPLATE from the data base. The TEMPLATE PARSER also supports simple calculations.

\name(DESCRIPTOR	shows the display name for DESCRIPTOR
\value(DESCRIPTOR	shows the current value for DESCRIPTOR, read only
\ask(DESCRIPTOR	shows the current value for DESCRIPTOR as an active link to the DESCRIPTOR editor
\unit(DESCRIPTOR	shows the unit of measurement as defined in the Knowledge Base for that DESCRIPTOR.

The TEMPLATE files are located in /var/www/html/templates and have descriptive names that correspond (closely) to the respective OBJECT CLASS' name. The files names are defined in the data base TABLE RBO.CLASS:
