Summary
In a node it's possible to group attributes for an edit form on 2 ways. With a group and a section.
Sections will create a node level tabbed pane. For tabs as an attribute. See: Grouping attributes into tabs
Sections
Groups a list with attributes on multiple lines which are collapsed by default. When you open a section it will retrieve the attributes with ajax. Sections always appear at the bottom.
Syntax:
$this->add(new atkAttribute('test'),'default.section');
In your node file use the following line to add an acttribute to the section 'address':
$this->add(new atkNumberAttribute('housenumber'), 'default.address');
$this->add(new atkAttribute('housenumber_suffix'), 'default.address');
The convention is: <tabname>.<sectionname>, in other words, the above places the attributes in the 'address' section of the default tab. Accepted notations:
- ".address" - Put attribute in the address section if there are no tabs, or on the default tab
- "billing" - Put attribute on the address tab
- "billing.address" - Put attribute in the address section of the billing tab
