MoreCore: Just noticed I broke something big. Not sure when

[Varsuuk]

Yup, that fixed it.

I changed my definition to:

	<template name="list_text" merge="join">
		<windowlist>
			<child mergerule="resetandadd"></child>
			<child><backcolor>1A40301E</backcolor></child>
			<allowcreate />
			<allowdelete />
			<script file="common/scripts/list_text.lua" />
		</windowlist>
	</template>

And added the "onSortCompare" from above to the newly copied "list_text.lua" file I grabbed from CoreRPG.


I assume that was my only choice? Anyone have any better suggestions for me than copying code whole cloth like that?

EDIT:

Turns out - I could ignore what I did above.

ie: delete the copied text_list.lua from CoreRPG.
Remove the entry for templates_list.xml in extension.xml in my extension (and delete the xml file)

because this in the record_char_more.xml file handles it for each control I wanted that functionality on:

			<!-- Customize sorting for the Attributes list -->
			<list_text name="cliroller1" merge="join">
				<script file="utility/scripts/sort_methods/sort_on_alt_sort_order.lua" />
			</list_text>

oops - I guess I left some orphaned stuff in git and forgot.


===> So the TAKEAWAY I should learn here, correct if wrong:

If I added the <script> to a redefined (with merge="join") template of same name "list_text" only the <script> in MY override goes into effect. BUT if I merely do an override of an named INSTANCE of that template (e.g. <list_text name="cliroller1" merge="join">) - I am able to ADD more "code" to the template's ummm... "code space?"

??

Yes... if i understood you correctly - that is correct.
