[opencms-dev] Questions

[Ray Glendenning]

Hi

Sorry for using outlook to reply, but it's all I have here on hols at the
moment.

1. I need to use XSLT to get any CMS into out institution as my bosses only
want to hear about open standards (the is my fault but it is for our own
good)

2.  I know that your bodies go under system/bodies, but how do I add this to
two different places in the navigation.  I don't want to have our content
entry people having to go in and modify control code (but it creates new
bodies under system/bodies/student/... etc)

Looks like the way to do it will be a new resource type which would be
'shared content' or possibly a 'content gallery' and that way the templates
can be kept totally seperate.

Cheers
Ray

Hello,

> 1. Does anyone have a working implementation of XSLT templates?
Do you need XSLT templates?
A template is a template is a template, isn't it?

> 2. Is it possible to seperate the content from the presentation? For
example:

VFS
Shared content is then beneath system/bodies/...
This means the same body for two different templates.
> /staff/academic/course/index.html            Content rendered using the
staff template
> /student/course/current/list.html               Content rendered using
student template
I didn't try this - there was once upon a time a thread about this - but
it should be possible with some hand-made configurations of the
templates. I guess there are also different solutions available by
e.g. JSP-include.

Anyway.
