Mass Actions

-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.uvgear.elements-chartreuse.co.uk
-- Joomla version -- : 3.5
-- PHP version -- : uo to date
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : chrome

Can you please direct me to the location in the documentation where INT, FLOAT, STRING and OPERATION are defined?
i have looked through your mass actions documentation and through the forum for too long now, and I cannot find anything on these terms anywhere. Advice please?
Thanks

Hello,

These 4 types are actually not described through our documentation, thank you for your feedback.

If you set the "Type" option to :
- INT : then you'll change the value of the field to an Integer
- FLOAT : then you'll change the value of the field to a "floating point number"
- STRING : then you'll change the value of the field to a string which is series of characters
- OPERATION : then the value of the field will be determined by an operation like for example . + 1. If we want to change of value of a price then an operation like this will do the job : price.price_value + 1

Thanks.

I now understand what INT and OPERATION can do, and indeed have now used them effectively.

What exactly is a 'floating point number', and how would that be used? Any by 'series of characters' - do you mean something like a 'word' or a 'collection of words'?

Thanks again
