Summary

Contains information about a content class.

Persistent

Yes.

Attributes
Attribute Type Static* Description
id string Yes. The ID number of the class.
version string Yes. The version/status of the class (0=normal, 1=temporary, 2=modified).
name string Yes. The name of the class (for example "News article").
identifier string Yes. The identifier of the class (for example "news_article").
contentobject_name string Yes. The pattern which controls how the names of the instances should be generated.
creator_id string Yes. The ID number of the object that represents the user who created the class.
modifier_id string Yes. The ID number of the object that represents the user who most modified the class last.
created string Yes. A UNIX timestamp pinpointing the exact date/time when the class was created.
remote_id string Yes. A global unique ID for the class. The remote ID is an MD5 hash of the time when the class was created plus a random value. Remote IDs are used to avoid collision of identical classes during an import.
modified string Yes. A UNIX timestamp pinpointing the exact date/time when the class was last modified.
is_container string Yes. Either 1 or 0. Reveals whether nodes referencing objects of this class should be considered as containers or not. Used by the administration interface to allow or disallow the creation of nodes under a node which references an object of this class.
always_available string Yes. Either 1 or 0. Controls whether new instances (objects) of this class should be always available or not. Used on multi-language sites to make it possible to fetch objects which do not exist in any of the site languages. Note that this value simply dictates the default value for the "always_available" flag of the objects themselves and thus it only affects new instances.
data_map array No. The attributes (as ezcontentclassattribute objects) that make up the class.
object_count string No. The number of instances (objects) of the class.
version_count string No. DEPRECATED - Similar to the "version" attribute, but will be 2 if the "version_count" is 2 or higher.
version_status string No. DEPRECATED - The version count of the class if it has been determined, FALSE if not
determined.
ingroup_list array No. The class groups (as ezclassclassgroup objects) that the class is a member of.
ingroup_id_list array No. The class groups (as ezclassgroup objects) that the class belongs to.
match_ingroup_id_list array No.

The class groups (as ezclassgroup objects) that the class belongs to. This variable is connected with a feature that makes it possible to create template overrides based on class groups.

By default the "match_ingroup_id_list" always returns a boolean FALSE value because the class group override feature is turned off. It can be turned on by setting the "EnableClassGroupOverride" directive in the [ContentOverrideSettings] block of a configuration override for "content.ini" to "true".
group_list array No. All the class groups (as ezclassclassgroup objects) that are present in the database.
creator object No. The object (as ezcontentobject object) representing the user who created the class.
modifier object No. The object (as ezcontentobject object) representing the user who last modified the class.
can_instantiate_languages array No. Not documented yet.

* Indicates whether the attribute provides a pre-fetched value or if it needs to be computed upon request.
