Question

Adding sections to existing entities

Is it possible to add sections (with edit pages, attachments, tags, etc.) for entities that were created using the configuration page? Sometimes during development it turns out that an entity that we thought will be "internal" has to be displayed to user anyway.

Hello!

The task you are trying to achieve is rather complex and requires a lot of development. We recommend you to create a new section in a wizard according to the instruction on the academy and transfer your data to it using a process or an sql query. This is the most user-friendly way that involves minimum development. You can read more about creation of the new section in the article below:

Ok, thanks.

Not true. Basically a section object has some special subobjects like [ObjectFolder], [ObjectInFolder] etc. All those objects have parents, so it will not be a big deal to create them. The second part is to create section page a reister it in DB. We're doing such things quiet often when somebody wants a section from inicially detail object. So the thing is to make  few requests to DB and to create some objects. Normally it takes about 10 minutes. 

 

Dmitry S,

Could you, please, give more details on how to achieve this?
