MegamanicEdit 2.0.15b

Batch and simplified editing of Archetypes

MegamanicEdit is a tool which enables constructing objects where fields are "dynamic", for example in GrailTact, a user can add several Email objects, and these are treated as regular fields when editing the container (Contact) object.

It also enables adding objects from a template, so for example leads interested in something can be greated from a landing page (see GrailTact also here).

Has been tested and found working with StringWidget, RichWidget, LinesWidget. Assumed to work with everything except the CalendarWidget.

Thanks to Bluedynamics' AtMultiEdit for giving a good example.

Portions of the templates/skins are taken from the Archetypes product, which is

NOTE: Currently only known to support text fields and areas.

Use the 'Add portal content' permission for all project content types, so that it integrates nicely with the megamanic template object class.
