AW: [opencms-dev] CmsXmlTemplate class - getProperty()

[Benjamin Klatt]

Hi Rod,

the syntax for method-calls is:
<METHOD name="xy" /> or with paramter
<METHOD name="xy">param</METHOD>

If you would like to call the getPropert-method you have to take the second
one and to ask for a property that your ressourcetype supports.
For example in a page you can use: <METHOD
nama="getProperty">NavPos</METHOD>

If you need your own properties you have to change to the
administration-view, go to the "properties management" and add a new
property to the ressourcetype. After this you can go to the page or whatever
it is and choose to specifiy this new property.
