[opencms-dev] Create a new module with admin view (backoffice) in OpenCMS 6

[Dimitri Frederickx]

Yes, i have installed that version, and took a look at the page you said. But here they describe how to create an administrator view in "the old view". What i want is to create an icon and backoffice part in the new view. Can someone tell me how this is done?

And also how i can access the datasource of opencms to retrieve information from my own database tables?

Regards,
Dimitri




Dimitri,

You have to install the latest OpenCms 6b1 to get the updated
documentation for OpenCms 6.

Then you will find a documentation page called "Creating a New
Module".  Scroll down to the text that reads "Administration Point and
View are deprecated".  This text actually contains two anchor tags
with links to the documentation for creating and adminisration view in
OpenCms 6.

So I have to create a content definition but the classes A_CmsContentDefinition and so on are depricated from version 6, so I don't want to use them.

Can someone provide me a link or a tutorial with relevant information? Or if someone has already developed a module that accesses it's own tables, can he share his information with me?
