[opencms-dev] static publishing question

[Claus Priisholm]

When you publish a resource or a project as part of the regular 
workflow, resources marked for static export will be exported. Setup 
controls what resources are considered marked for static export.
So only the relevant parts gets re-exported.
Only problem is that interdependencies among your pages can cause other 
exported pages to become out-of-date (say because you added a new page 
and thus menus on otherwise untouched pages need to be updated). For 
this reason you may need to export more than just the page you've added 
or edited. There are various means to do that, OpenCms includes a 
static export function that will export the entire site and thus update 
all pages.
My preferred setup is to have binary resources (images, PDFs) exported, 
but leave the regular pages (which may depend on other pages) be served 
dynamically (or from the cache).
Mind you this is OpenCms 5.0.x - I haven't looked into static export in 
relation to v.6, seem to recall that this is one area where there are 
some changes.
