Setting Default Value of Custom Metadata for Virtual Copy

-

currently there no way set default value of custom metadata virtual copy... current behavior custom metadata copy values of mastercopy. not desirable since custom metadata place plug-in developers implement logic control of plugin workflow. jerry friedl flickr plugin suffer same problem. when photo been published there no way republished copy different develop setting because flickr id transfer custom metadata master copy.. recommend implement like

 

        {
             id = 'stock_photoid',
             title = loc "$$$/stock/custommetadata/stockphotoid=stock  photoid",
             datatype = 'string',
             readonly = true,
             searchable = true,
             browsable = true,

            defaultvalue = "0"              -- initial value new virtual copy
             version = 2,
         },

 

        {
             id = 'project',
             title = loc "$$$/stock/custommetadata/stockphotoid=stock  photoid",
             datatype = 'string',
             readonly = true,
             searchable = true,
             browsable = true,
            defaultvalue = master.dafaultvalue                            -- same project same value
             version = 2,
         },

 

        {
             id = 'published',
             title = loc "$$$/stock/custommetadata/published=published",
             datatype = 'enum',
             readonly = true,
             searchable = true,
             browsable = true,
             defaultvalue = false              -- control publish plugin.. if false publish else don't publish
             version = 2,
         },

 

i have not dig plugin development far can see bad design consideration...

i feeling virtual copies came along after basic design had been settled - seems add-on.

 

i think better if there no distinction between virtual copies , other copies.

 

in other words, photos in catalog should bunch of database settings , stuff, , "pointer"(reference) raw file upon based.

 

that way quit worrying kind of copy photo is.

i have id (primary key) set bigint in sql server. have query following: where whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#url.id#"> i got invalid data type it. tried: where whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_bigint" value="#url.id#"> i still got invalid data type it. tried: where whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_int" value="#url.id#"> and worked. the weird thing cf_sql_int not listed being accepted: http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/coldfusion/5.0/cfml_reference/tags79.htm can explain me. > whateverid = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_bigint" value="#url.id#"> what value of #url.id#? had no problems either using cf8. > weird thing cf_sql_int not listed being accepted: iirc, when pass in invalid sql type cf uses default: cf_sql_char, accepts anything. ms sql implicit convert() right type , why works.
