[opencms-dev] Structured Content and Logging in for Direct Edit

Hello, Mike.

You can open the "opencms-modules.xml" placed in the "WEB-INF/config"
folder of your OpenCms webapp and look for
"<name>org.opencms.frontend.templateone.modules</name>".
Inside the "module" element you can see the "resourcetypes" and the
"explorertype" elements. You can declare your new content type there
and restart OpenCms to apply the changes.

However, I think it's more suitable to make your own module and store
your XSD in it . Then, you can modify the "opencms-modules.xml".

You can see something similar in the "OpenCms 6 Welcome page and
release notes" module.
I did a test following these steps:
    * In the workplace, I defined a property "login_project" for the
"/release/" folder and assigned it the value "Offline".
    * I published the folder.
    * I left from the workplace and went to
"http://localhost:8080/opencms/opencms/release"
    * There is a login form at the bottom of the page. If you login in
with "Admin", for example, you would see the same page with the
"direct edit" icon.

I hope that helps you.
Bye.
