How to enable a charsheet entry to accept a link (these red boxes)?

[Hitcher]

Hi,

I had just finished creating some modules for the "Das Schwarze Auge 4.1" Ruleset, when I found out that the ruleset does not support linking information entrys to skills / feats and such.

I took a look into the CoreRPG Ruleset, where there had been defined acceptdrop - which seems to be neccessary - and the "button_iedit" and "button_iadd".

I tried entering these lines of code - and could produce a new entry in the listing - of course without content - by dragging the library entry into the listing. But the button did not appear.

I searched through the whole CoreRPG files, but have not found andy definition for the button_iedit and button_iadd.

Can you tell me, where I can find the definition of these red buttons, where you can link the library entries to the existing lines?

Looks like this:

And I want such a buton in front of it:
Attachment 10782

Any Ideas where I can find a simple solution to add these reference boxes?

The Code in Question looks like this (it's part of the module DSA_DZ_4.1WE):

button_iedit and button_iadd aren't the link buttons - they are buttons used as part of the edit process: to enter edit mode (button_iedit) and to add a new record (button_iadd) once in edit mode. See the + (button_iadd) and / (button_iedt) in the following screenshot.



The link you're looking for is a <linkfield> entry (in CoreRPG). For example, in the recrd_char_abilities.xml file, char_ability windowclass:

	<windowclass name="char_ability">
		<margins control="0,0,0,2" />
		<sheetdata>
			<genericcontrol name="rightanchor">
				<anchored height="0" width="0">
					<top offset="2" />
					<right />
				</anchored>
			</genericcontrol>
			<button_idelete name="idelete">
				<anchored to="rightanchor">
					<top />
					<right anchor="left" relation="relative" offset="-5" />
				</anchored>
			</button_idelete>
			<linkfield name="shortcut">
				<anchored to="rightanchor" width="20" height="20">
					<top />
					<right anchor="left" relation="relative" offset="-5" />
				</anchored>
				<class>ability</class>
				<description field="name" />
				<readonly />
			</linkfield>

These links are directly added to a record within a windowlist, not the headers, etc.. You'll need to add a shortcut to your charsheet_skilllistitem_fernkampf windowclass.

You're awesome, Trenloe. Found the right places to edit, took a look in some other rulesets regarding the linkfield, and I am not at this code:

			<linkfield name="shortcut">
				<anchored>
                                <left>
                                    <offset>110</offset>
                                </left>
					<top>
						<anchor>top</anchor>
						<offset>3</offset>
					</top>
					<size>
						<width>15</width>
						<height>15</height>
					</size>
				</anchored>
				<!--<class>ability</class>-->
				<description field="linkfeld" />
				<allowdrop />
			</linkfield>

And it looks and works the way I like it.

Thanks! Now I can adapt this method to all other areas I need these linkfields.

Is this going to be the English translation of The Dark Eye?

[Hitcher]

Nope. It will still be the german version of the "The Dark Eye" Ruleset, but with the possibility to attach library entries to your skills / feats / spells / etc.
When I'm done I will upload a "changelog" - so that you can modify the existing ruleset on your own to have the same functionalities.
