[opencms-dev] controlcode & XML template modules

[Chris Tiernan]

Jon -

 

Those resources help a lot, thanks.

 

However, I don't think OpenCms is reading my workplace.properties file
correctly.  Its showing "???fileicon.topstory???" instead of the value
for it when I create a new type for the magic wand button.  Also, my
labels in workplace.properties don't seem to being read as well. The
templates just show's the coded name instead of the value of the coded
name.

Chris -

 

There are four things involved in creating a new Explorer-selectable XML
content type: (i) schema creation, (ii) resource type definition, (iii)
explorer linkage, and (iv) (optional) fancy display config.  There's a
good FAQ posted by Alexander Kandzior:
http://mail.opencms.org/pipermail/opencms-dev/2004q4/013609.html which
deals with (i), (ii) and (iii); and (iv) is covered nicely by
http://www.opencms-forum.de/viewtopic.php?t=648 (both pages; start two
thirds of the way down the first page).

 

You'll see workplace.properties mentioned quite a bit.  This is used as
a place to stash things like field labels, field help and so on.  It's
in Java property file format and is loaded when it's on the classpath of
your installation.  There are multiple workplace.properties files, and
when looking for properties OpenCms hunts through them all until it
finds a match.  You should be developing within the context of a module,
and so the best place for your workplace.properties is in the (folder
which is equivalent to the bottom of the) classpath hierearchy.  Have a
file called workplace.properties and a copy called
workplace.properties_en (and ditto for any other localisations you're
doing).

Gottcha.  It seems that I can't register or create a new XML content
type.  I've created the  XSD file, my XML content file, and the
template, but it seems that it does not does create the XML content type
under the "New > Structured content" area.  How do I 'register' that
content type with OpenCms?

If I understand you correctly and you're talking about custom XML
content types, then yes - OpenCms should be able to generate document
instances automatically, e.g. when clicking on a direct edit 'new'
button or when creating a new resource of the XML content type.  The
document instance includes all mandatory elements with empty contents (I
think).

Does anybody know if the controlcode for a custom XML template module is
supposed to be generated by the OpenCms system?  I have to keep creating
a base controlcode XML file for the system to work, which seems odd.
Thanks!

 

Best,

Chris
