[opencms-dev] Re: Use a template from JSPs

Thu Aug 5 02:09:01 CEST 2004

Check the JSP Scriptlet documentation module on the opencms.org website.

But what it says in there is you have to enclose the parts in tags

<cms:template element="head" />
<cms:template element="body" />
<cms:template element="foot" />

so in your JSP template, if you have the following template for your HTM pages

<%@ page session="false" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="cms" uri="http://www.opencms.org/taglib/cms" %>

<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title><cms:property name="title" escapeHtml="true" /></title>

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="CONTENT-TYPE" CONTENT="text/html;
CHARSET=<cms:property name="content-encoding" default="ISO-8859-1"
/>">

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"
href="<cms:link>../resources/mystyle.css</cms:link>">

</head>
<body>

<h2>My first template head</h2>

<!-- Main page body starts here -->
<cms:include element="body" />
<!-- Main page body ends here -->

<h2>My first template foot</h2>

</body>
</html>

You now have:

<%@ page session="false" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="cms" uri="http://www.opencms.org/taglib/cms" %>

<cms:template element="head">

<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title><cms:property name="title" escapeHtml="true" /></title>

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="CONTENT-TYPE" CONTENT="text/html;
CHARSET=<cms:property name="content-encoding" default="ISO-8859-1"
/>">

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"
href="<cms:link>../resources/mystyle.css</cms:link>">

</head>
<body>

<h2>My first template head</h2>

<!-- Main page body starts here -->
</cms:template>

<cms:template element="body">
<cms:include element="body" />
</cms:template>

<cms:template element="foot">
<!-- Main page body ends here -->

<h2>My first template foot</h2>

</body>
</html>
</cms:template>

then from your JSP page that uses the template, you do:

<cms:include property="template" element="head" />

<cms:include property="template" element="foot" />

to include the stuff in the <cms:template element="head" /> and
<cms:template element="foot" />  tags, respectively.

It's discussed way better than here in the actual documentation model.

and

http://www.alkacon.com/export/download/alkacon/com.alkacon.documentation.howto-template_1.1.zip

and you install it by accessing OpenCMS with an administrator account,
going to Administration View (select the view from the top bar),
clicking "Module management", selecting the Offline project in the top
bar, and clicking the button at the secondary top bar that has the
tool tip "Upload module from".
