uLoremsy - Property Prevalue Setter

uLoremsy allows you to set prevalues for properties.

See a demo here: http://www.screenr.com/87Ls

Prevalues are set in a simple xml file (/config/uLoremsy.config). uLoremsy allows you to define prevalues for different site roots (see example xml below).

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<uLoremsy>
    <tree nodeName="Simple website" enabled="true">
        <documentType nodeTypeAlias="umbTextpage" enabled="true">
            <property alias="bodyText" enabled="true">
                Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
            </property>
        </documentType>

<!-- example using wildcard for nodeTypeAlias -->
<documentType nodeTypeAlias="umbHomepage" enabled="true">
            <property alias="siteName" enabled="true">
                [INSERT Site Name]
            </property>
        </documentType>
    </tree>

    <tree nodeName="Simple website 2" enabled="true">
<documentType nodeTypeAlias="umbTextpage" enabled="true">
            <property alias="bodyText" enabled="true">
                [INSERT BODY TEXT HERE]
            </property>
        </documentType>
    </tree>

</uLoremsy>

 

You do not have to define prevalues for all your tree roots and doctypes. Wildcards can be used. 

Example 1:
Secifying a wildcard for any Tree root:
<tree nodeName="*" enabled="true">

Example 2:
Specifying a wildcard for any doctype
<documentType nodeTypeAlias="*" enabled="true">
