AW: [opencms-dev] Re-publishing a project

[Andreas Schouten]

Hi,

a published project is not deleted, it is just removed from the actual
project-list. So all data and changes made in that project is available
after publishing. You can access this information via the history-menu
entry. We have plans to make that data accessible again after publishing.

For news we now have a nice module. You can integrate it easyly into opencms
with the module-admin point on the workplace (upload a new module). Please
read the installation-comments for that module, because you have to add
database-tables for it. In that module it is not neccessary to create a
project. You can insert news directly to the online project. I will push
that zip-file to http://www.opencms.com asap.

The link to download the module:
http://www.opencms.com/download/NewsModule.zip

You can take a look into the sourcecode of the module in the lates
opencms-snapshot: /opencms/modules/news/src/

Regards,
Andreas Schouten

Betreff: [opencms-dev] Re-publishing a project



I want to use Opencms for a simple task. A user has to update a newspage on
a site once a week. So I want to create a project and let the user modify
the content during the week. At the end of the week the project manager must
publish the content.
But the projectmanager does not want to create a new project each week. He
just wants to have a quick look at the new content and push the publish
button. This is important because creating a new project takes several
minutes on my system (800 MHz AMD).
So the obvious thing to do is to strip the implied delete from the publish
button in the Administration-Projects context. If this is not a good idea,
can somebody tell me why not. If, yes, where should I start.
BTW, I have seen "news" icons appear and dissappear on a regular base in the
Opencms workplace between the consecutive versions of Opencms. Can somebody
comment on this. What are/were they supposed to do?

Thanks
