[opencms-dev] bvr : Site Specific content ?? A replacement for the Bitch !!

[Michael, Nick N]

<%--

OpenCms is easy for channel specific Content 
but a Bitch for Site Specific Content

I have a different solution to this problem 
THE GOOD OLD HASHTABLE

I have a class in a second JSP that I include in my template
This class has two methods

In my Site Specific Content I can handle many foreign languages

and I just add as many new tokens as I want in my setupData() method

and I get the tokens back using my getTokens(TokenKey ) method
By using token calls in my JSP instead of text in my JSP template html tags
I have made every element other than the body text sit out side my template
in my Java Class

Has any one else done something similar ?

Now what would be nice if you could have one JSP and make different
instances on each site or sub site

also the tokens can be loaded from a properties file with an additional
method where you pass the filename / path


your comments ..........please
	
regards
Nico

<%!   // you must use this tag if you want your jsp to hold a Java Class

public class TemplateData{
 Hashtable tokens= new Hashtable();
 
 public String getTokens(String key){ // THIS IS USED TO RETRIEVE ANY TOKEN
CONTENT
	String result3=(String) tokens.get(key);

  	if (result3!=null && result3.length()>0){
          	return result3;
  	}
  	result3="";
  	return result3; 
 }


  public void setupData(){ I first call this method of the class to set all
my tokens

    // TOKENS ARE USED FOR LABELS IMAGES URLS   AND HTML TAGS
    tokens.put("organizationName","Federation of Afrikaans Communities and
Associations of South Africa");
    tokens.put("organizationForeignName","hier kom die boere");
    tokens.put("mainAdverttext","The Webmasters Community Resources");
    tokens.put("mainAdvertForeigntext","hier kom die boere taal");
 
tokens.put("mainAdvertUrl","http://localhost:9090/opencms/opencms/Federation
/useful_information.html");
    tokens.put("webDesignerText","This web site was designed by the web
master (Nico Michael)");
    tokens.put("webDesignerURL","http://www.Afrikaans
.org.za/cmp/index.html#nick");
    tokens.put("hostingCoText","This Website is hosted by CMP");
 
tokens.put("hostingCoURL","http://www.orthodoxjohannesburg.org.za/Cmp/index.
html");
    tokens.put("emailUser","webmaster");
    tokens.put("emailSite","sa.org.za");
    tokens.put("bannerTags","AfrikaansFederation.jpg");
    tokens.put("menuTableWidth","width=" +QU + "153" +QU);
    tokens.put("styleSheetnName","../files/style.css");
  }

  TemplateData templateData=new TemplateData(); //instanciate object

You can put all the jsp config stuff into a xml file (or properties file)
and let the user change it.
