[opencms-dev] problem with publishing frames

Fri Aug 30 12:05:18 CEST 2002

Hi,

We are using OpenCMS for the first time and we've got some problems with
the static export of a frame-based website...

I was expecting that the dynamic frames from the "work/edit" system are
generated static on export,
but the framesets in the "export" folder still look like this:

frame src="/opencms/export/WebSites/somfy/de/index.html?cmsframe=temp_head"

which, of course, doesn't do anything in static HTML pages... the
"index.html" pages simply are empty then...

It also doesn't make any difference if I use the dynamic linking version:
src="]]><METHOD name="getUri"/><METHOD name
="getFrameQueryString">temp_head</METHOD>
or the hard-coded one:
<![CDATA[?cmsframe=temp_head]]>

So I guess I don't understand the overall frame export concept... :(
how are these dynamic framesets supposed to export correctly?
Do I have to change some properties in the static export section of
opencms.properties?
Shouldn't the "virtual" frames get replaced with static pages? If so, how
do I configure this?
"Normal" pages (without frames) are published correctly...

Here is the frametemplate file we are using, maybe there is something wrong
with it?
