[opencms-dev] Is this a bug or not?

Fri Dec 13 00:27:08 CET 2002

Ha!

We are trying to use this too -- I found somebody reported this in August
to the opencms-dev mailing list, but so far no response.  I have been
digging through the sourcecode since Wednesday  to see if this can be
fixed, but so far no luck.

If this can't be fixed, we are faced with the prospect of having to write
our own navigation class to get over the limitation...

Should I raise this in Bugzilla?

Regards,
Mark

Hi all,

I'm trying to build a navigation element. To do so I want to use some
custom
properties that I added to my resources. I've been able to make the
navigation element, but when I look at the output of the template all calls
to the methods for getting the custom properties (eg getPropertyCurrent and
getPropertyParent) return empty strings.

Am I doing something completely stupid or is this a (known) bug?

I've seen this in both OpenCMS 4.6.1 and 5.0 beta. I'm running OpenCMS on a
win2k server with IIS 5 and Tomcat 4.0.6, JDK 1.4.1 and MySQL 3.23.

Below you can find my navigation element and and its definition and usage
in
my frametemplate.

Could someone please have a look at it? Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

In the frametemplate I use and define the element nav with:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<ELEMENT name="nav"/>

<ELEMENTDEF name="nav">
             <CLASS>com.opencms.defaults.CmsXmlNav</CLASS>
             <TEMPLATE>/content/elements/navigation</TEMPLATE>
</ELEMENTDEF>
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The file /content/elements/navigation looks like this:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<XMLTEMPLATE>
             <navstart>
                         <![CDATA[
                                     <script language="JavaScript1.2"

                                     <script language="JavaScript1.2"
src="script/menu_settings.js"></script>
                                     <script language="JavaScript1.2">
                                     <!--
            ]]>
  </navstart>

     <naventry>
       <![CDATA[oCMenu.makeMenu(']]>
            <method
name="getPropertyCurrent">Title</method>
       <![CDATA[',']]>
<method name="getPropertyParent">1,Title</method>
          <![CDATA[','
 ]]>
        <process>navtext</process>
         <![CDATA[',']]>
<process>navlink</process>
         <![CDATA[','main',]]>
        <method
name="getPropertyCurrent">NavPos</method>
            <![CDATA[)]]>
</naventry>

     <navend>
         <![CDATA[
              //Leave
these two lines! Making the styles and then

      oCMenu.makeStyle(); oCMenu.construct()
               -->
                                     </script>
                         ]]>
             </navend>

             <TEMPLATE>
                         <method name="getNavTree"/>
             </TEMPLATE>
