[opencms-dev] Development cycle building web sites using Opencms

[Pedro Huitema]

Vasil,

As far as I am concerned, I initially develop my templates in Macromedia
Dreamweaver (a standard html page), then once I am satisfied, I copy
paste the template into OpenCMS and turn it into a jsp where I add the
various tags for titles and properties.

This allows me to create complex templates, all while keeping the
development of individual pages very simple, which is what a CMS is
supposed to do.

I wouldn't count on the ability to create complex pages from the text
editor...

Opencms

Hello,

I'm starting with Opencms 6.0 beta3.
What is the development cycle when building web sites using Opencms?

When I develop a web site I usually access the source code file with my
editor, write changes and then preview the modifications in browser.
In Opencms I don't know how to access the file with my favorite editor.
It
is impossible for me to develop a complex template using the web editor
provided by Opencms (the browser editor).

Or

How can I access the Opencms vfs with external program (usually a text
editor).

Is there a driver for Opencms vfs. Is it possible to mount vfs as a
directory to the real file system.

Why is chosen the virtual file system and not the files a stored in the
real
file system? What is the advantage? 

Let's someone explain his development cycle when building web sites with
Opencms.

Thanks.
