MidCOM 2.5 Datamanager Rewrite Example Schema
This is a MidCOM 2.5 Development Technical Note covering the Datamanger Rewrite. Everything written here is subject to change without notice.
This is a quick example, how a datamanager schema can look like. It is neither complete nor documented in this page, it is just intended for a quick view. Also the latest changes and adaptions to the schema are not neccessarily taken into account in this example.
If you want to know details, check the schema definition.

"description" => "Some schema title",
// fields
"fields" => Array
(
"title" => Array
(
// Field Metadata:
// Heading

// Text below heading
"description" => "Field description",
// Possibly available through some kind of popup

// Indication wether this field is required during input
// (is this a simple form of validation?)
"required" => false,
// validation rules (2BD)
"validation" => Array (...),
// Storage config
"storage" => Array
(
// $membername, "parameter" or "config"
"location" => "title",
// only for config storage
"config_domain" => "de.linkm.taviewer",
// only for config storage
"config_name" => "title",
),
// type config
"type" => "text",
"typeconfig" => Array
(
// This is type dependant
