New page

{{context|Kit Reference|Data File Reference|Portal Element (Data)}}

==The "table_auto" Element==

Auto tables are a special kind of dynamic table that can only ever contain a single item. As such, an auto table looks like a dynamic table until the user clicks on the "add" item at the bottom. Instead of displaying a choose form, a new instance of a specific item is added to the table. This is extremely useful for tables of journal entries and character portraits. Each auto table is defined via the use of the "table_auto" element. The complete list of attributes for this element is below.

:{| class="infotable"
|class="leftnormal"|component
|Id – Specifies the unique id of the component that all shown objects must be derived from.
|-
|showtemplate
|Id – Specifies the unique id of the template to be used for displaying the picks that have been added to the table.

|-
|showgapvert
|(Optional) Integer – Specifies the gap along the vertical access to insert between items that exist within the table. Default: "0".
|-
|choosetemplate
|Id – Specifies the unique id of the template to be used for displaying available objects that the user can choose from.
|-
|choosepicks
|(Optional) Set – Designates whether the selectable objects consist of things or picks, and, if the latter, where the list of picks is retrieved from. Must be one of these values: 
thing – The selectable objects are things. 
container – The selectable objects are picks from the implicitly identified container. If the containing scene is a form associated with a gizmo, the gizmo is used, else the actor is used. 
hero – The selectable objects are picks from the active actor. 
Default: "thing".
|-
|choosesortset
|(Optional) Id – Specifies the unique id of the sort set to be used for sequencing all of the objects presented for selection. If empty, all objects are sorted by name. Default: Empty.

|(Optional) Integer – Specifies the gap along the horizontal access to insert between items presented for selection. Default: "0".
|-
|choosegapvert
|(Optional) Integer – Specifies the gap along the vertical access to insert between items presented for selection. Default: "0".
|-
|descwidth
|(Optional) Integer – Specifies the width of the reserved "description" area on the right within the choose form. Some items need more width for lengthy descriptions and some do not, so you can control this as you see fit. Default: "250".
|-
|columns
|(Optional) Integer – Specifies the number of columns of data to display within the table. Default: "1".
|-
|scrollable
|(Optional) Boolean – Indicates whether the table contents can be scrolled by the user. By default, a scroller is shown whenever the number of items exceeds the visible space, but you can disable this behavior. Default: "yes".
|-
|ismultiadd
|(Optional) Boolean – Indicates whether the user can add multiple items at a time to the table, without leaving the choose form. Default: "yes".
|-
|allowstack
|(Optional) Boolean – Indicates whether the user is allowed to stack items within the table, subject to the restrictions imposed for each item. Default: "yes".
|-
|addtemplate
|(Optional) Id – Specifies the unique id of the template to be used for the "add" item that always appears at the bottom of a dynamic table and that users will click on to add an item to the table. This allows detailed controlled when the simple "additem" script is not sufficient. If empty, the "additem" element must be specified. Default: Empty.
|-
|addthing
|(Optional) Id – Specifies the unique id of a thing that is associated with the "add" item at the bottom of the table. HL will retrieve any pick based on this thing that exists within the target container and use it. This allows you to control what fields can be accessed from the "addtemplate". If empty, the "actor" pick is used, except within a gizmo, where its "defaultthing" is used instead. Default: Empty.
|-
|addspace
|(Optional) Integer – Specifies the additional vertical space to be inserted when displaying the simple "add" item at the bottom of the table by using the "additem" script. The height of the item is based on the font height of the text shown, so this attribute allows you to insert additional padding if you wish. Default: "2".
|-
|headertemplate
|(Optional) Id – Specifies the unique id of the template to be used for a header item that appears at the top of the table. This allows you to add column headers above various pieces of information in the table. If empty, the "headertitle" element dictates whether a header is displayed above the table. Default: Empty.
|-
|headerthing
|(Optional) Id – Specifies the unique id of a thing that is associated with the header item at the top of the table. HL will retrieve any pick based on this thing that exists within the target container and use it. This allows you to control what fields can be accessed from the "headertemplate". If empty, the "actor" pick is used, except within a gizmo, where its "defaultthing" is used instead. Default: Empty.
|-
|buytemplate
|(Optional) Id – Specifies the unique id of the template to be shown in the lower right corner of the choose form for controlling the details of a purchase transaction. If empty, no buy template is utilized. Default: Empty.
|-
|xactspecial
|(Optional) Integer – When a buy template is shared between two or more portals or things, the template behavior may need to be tailored based on the usage. If this need arises, this attribute specifies a unique value that identifies this particular usage. By assigning a different value to each usage and keying on it within the template's Position script, you can tailor the template appropriately. Default: "0".
|-
|selltemplate
|(Optional) Id – Specifies the unique id of the template to be shown when the user attempts to delete an item. This allows you to enable the selling of items for money. If empty, no sell template is utilized. Default: Empty.
|-
|candidatepick
|(Optional) Id – Specifies the unique id of a pick that will contain a dynamically generated [[Candidate Tag Expression|Candidate tag expression]] for use in determining the list of available objects to choose from. If empty, the "candidate" child element defines the tag expression to use. Default: Empty.
|-
|candidatefield
|(Optional) Id – Specifies the unique id of a text-based field that contains the [[Candidate Tag Expression|Candidate tag expression]] used to determine the list of available objects to choose from. This field must exist within the pick identified by the "candidatepick" attribute (above). If empty, the "candidate" child element defines the tag expression to use. Default: Empty.
|-
|prereqtarget
|(Optional) Set – Designates the container against which all pre-requisite tests need to be performed when determining the list of items available for selection. When displacement is utilized, pre-requisites need to be tested against the container to which the new picks will ultimately be added. Must be one of these values: 
container – The default parent container is used. 
parent – The next parent up the hierarchy is used, which parallels the corresponding displacement target. 
hero – The top-level hero is used, which parallels the corresponding displacement target. 
Default: "container".
|-
|empty
|(Optional) Text – Specifies the text message to be displayed if the user attempts to select an option and there are no available items to choose from. If empty, a default message is displayed. Default: Empty.
|-
|showfrozenfixed
|(Optional) Boolean – Indicates whether the table must be converted to a "fixed" table whenever the table is designated as frozen. Default: "no".
|-
|showfixedlast
|(Optional) Boolean – Indicates whether all non-deletable picks within the table are sorted to the end of the list of picks shown. Default: "no".
|-
|allowuserorder
|(Optional) Boolean – Indicates whether the items in the table can be re-ordered by the user. If enabled, the specified component must designate a suitable ordering field or a separate component with such a field must be specified via the "ordercomponent" attribute. Default: "no". 
{{note}}Verify that whatever sort set you use for showing the items includes the designated ordering field as its first sort key.
|-
|ordercomponent
|(Optional) Id – Specifies the unique id of an alternate component that possesses a suitable ordering field. This attribute is only applicable when the table supports user ordering. If empty, the ordering field is dictated by the component associated with the table. Default: Empty.
|-
|linkage
|(Optional) Id – Specifies the unique id of a thing that will be used as a linkage. When a new pick is added to the table, that pick has an automatic linkage setup to any existing pick derived from the specified thing. If no derived pick exists when the new pick is added, no linkage is ever created. If empty, no linkage is established. Default: Empty.
|-
|alwaysupdate
|(Optional) Boolean – Indicates whether the table must be dynamically updated after any modification to the actor so that the influence of other changes are always visually reflected to the user. Default: "no". 
{{note}}This option can significantly slow down display updates on slower computers, so only enable this if truly necessary.

:{| class="infotable"
|class="leftnormal"|tag
|Id – Specifies the unique id of the tag to define within the tag group "transact".
|-
|}

==The "restriction" Element{{anchor|restriction}}==

The "restriction" element defines a [[Restriction Tag Expression]] for the portal that further limits the set of things/picks that are available for selection. This tag expression is compared against all picks that already exist within the container. Any object that exists within the restricted list is precluded from being selected again, resulting in it being omitted from the list of available choices. The complete list of attributes for this element is below.

:{| class="infotable"
|class="leftnormal"|PCDATA
|TagExpr – Specifies the code comprising the Restriction tag expression.
|-
