[opencms-dev] Frame-Templates with OpenCms

[Alexander Kandzior]

Julien,
 
but of course the main content frame in the example I send _is_ editable in
the WYSIWYG editor using the "Edit page" command. I mean with content in the
body file and such. 
 
Regards,
Alex.

Thank you for your example, but it seems that my explanations were not clear
enough.
 
I understand how Opencms Framesets work : 
 
-          you define frames with src equal to something like "]]><method
name="getUri"/><method
name="getFrameQueryString">template_name</method><![CDATA["
-          and if you want to access an external template, you use an
elementdef: 
-          <TEMPLATE name=" template_name ">
-                      <element name=" template_name _elt"/>
-          </TEMPLATE>
-          <element name=" template_name _elt">
-                      <template>/content/templates/ template_name
</template>
-          </element>
 
But what if one of my source files are editable?
That is to say that the end user can click on "Edit page" on the
corresponding control file, to edit the page with the HTML editor.
In this case, including the template as described above isn't useful because
the content is contained in the body file!
 
The only way I found to get around this problem is to use "]]><method
name="getUri"/><method
name="getFrameQueryString">template_name</method><![CDATA[" when I have to
include some non editable element, and to use ""]]><method
name="getServletPath"/>mypage.html<![CDATA[" when I want to include a page
and not e template!
 
Please tell me if there is some kind of best practice.
 
Regards,
 
Julien

Julien,
 
I understand you try to do a Frame-based website with OpenCms. It seems to
me that you are on the wrong track.
 
Here is an example on how to use frames with OpenCms. Simply place the file
in the ..\Tomcat\webapps\opencms\WEB-INF\export directory on your server,
open the Workplace and use the "Database import" feature of the
Administration view to import the file. Then, click on the /index.html to
see the Frame example and have a look in the /content/ directorys to
understand how framesets in OpenCms work.
 
Best Regards,
Alex.

Sorry for this second email, but I really think that it is a determining
aspect of opencms !
We are currently developing our first web site under opencms, and help on
this point would be very useful.

Hi !
 
It is possible to include a template in another template using :
 
<TEMPLATE name="tpl">
         <element name="tpl_elt"/>
</TEMPLATE>
<elementdef name="tpl_elt">
         <template>/content/templates/tpl</template>
</elementdef>
 
Is it possible to include a processed page? It seems mandatory if you want
to use frames and have a central frame with editable elements !
The opencms website is a good example of using frames, but no content is
editable with the HTML editor! That is to say, there is nowhere some stuff
like:
 
<template name="..."> in the body template.
 
Any idea?
 
Thx
 
Julien
