content::item::content_methods_by_type (public)

 content::item::content_methods_by_type [ -get_labels ] content_type

Defined in packages/acs-content-repository/tcl/content-item-procs.tcl

Determines all the valid content methods for instantiating a content type. Possible choices are text_entry, file_upload, no_content and xml_import. Currently, this proc merely removes the text_entry method if the item does not have a text mime type registered to it. In the future, a more sophisticated mechanism will be implemented.

Switches:

-get_labels

(boolean) (optional)

Return not just a list of types, but a list of name-value pairs, as in the -options ATS switch for form widgets

Parameters:

content_type - The content type

Returns:

A Tcl list of all possible content methods
