assign tv's to documents

hi,

is there any way to assign tv’s to documents rather than templates?

Gareth

Hello,
you should duplicate your template with your TV only for this template and assign the new template to your document

Ok, i thought that was the way i would have to do it. Seems a bit clumsy as it makes updating templates a pain.

Indeed. Sounds like a good feature request for the bugtracker.

Than it will be DV’s instead of TV’s

good point

it would be nice if we could simple hide TVs on certain documents, maybe have something like a exemption list

I am hoping to see "categories" for documents, and TVs can be assigned to a document category.

what does the Access permissions in the tv properties do? I thought creating a group of documents and setting the tv to this group only, would hide the tv in other documents. but is does not appear to do this.

It controls which users can edit it. I’ve never checked it out, so I’m not really sure at what level it does so.

A method that some people use to solve this is putting chunks in templates that contain common code and then put specific code in your templates. For instance, creating a chunk that contains the <head> tag information and so on...
