These are some notes describing the sf_assemblage.

Description

sf_assemblage can be used for displaying and editing attributes that have numbers chained to them. As an example, this could be used for recording the numbers of a certain type of seed in a sample, or for attaching total numbers of findtypes.

Usage

This form should normally be used in conjunction with sf_attr_bytype. The attribute gets added to the item and then sf_assemblage will offer you the chance to add one or more numbers to that attribute.

Set-Up

sf_assemblage needs a number of different 'op' variables set in the sf_conf and also it will need some custom validation set up (to allow for the chains).

 $conf_mcd_coords =
   array(
       'view_state' => 'max',
       'edit_state' => 'view',
       'sf_nav_type' => 'full',
       'sf_title' => 'coordinates', //appears in the titlebar of the subform (mk nname)
       'sf_html_id' => 'fst_cd_coordinates', //the form id tag (must be unique)
       'script' => 'php/subforms/sf_assemblage.php',
       'op_assemblage_type' => 'projection',
       'op_label' => 'save',
       'op_input' => 'save',
       'fields' => array(
           $conf_field_easting,
           $conf_field_northing
       )
 );
