[opencms-dev] Problem with symbolic links ...

[Jonathan Woods]

Martin -
 
You could approach this a different way (if I understand you correctly) and
avoid the need for siblings.
 
If you are in control of the generation of navigational links, then can't
you simply cause links to the same content to be writtin in two different
contexts, e.g. the student's and the professor's?  Those links will then
take the user to the URL of the content, but that isn't misleading since
it's the content they'll then be seeing.  The way you cause links to be
generated can be arbitrarily complex - e.g. depending on the setting of a
property.
 
On the other hand, if you need to render the same content differently for
two audiences, then I guess you are looking at a sibling solution or at
using an 'audience=' URL parameter.

Hi again 
 
It's a site for a school institution. They produce content (ex. science
section). After the content is produced and approved, the manager of the web
site will decide that this content is intended for highschool teachers
and/or student.  On the menu a student from a highschool will access this
new section by clicking student (level 1 menu)->highscool (level 2). Then he
will access the new science section (level 3). For a professor, it will
almost be the same except that he will access this section in the teachers
section (level 1).
 
To create this behavior, we need symbolic links and we have two siblings
with common content. In fact, we want to localize all the content in a
specific section and create symbolic links to populate the menu for a
specific section. 
 
I hope I'm clear ......

Hi everyone 
 
We have the following structure 
 
/content/siteA/... 
 
and we want to give access in different section of a web site with a
symbolic link 
 
/admin/primary/siteA/... 
 
/employee/secondary/siteA/... 
 
where siteA is a symbolic link to /content/siteA. Everything is fine except
for one thing. Suppose we have a page (/admin/primary/siteA/test.html) and
that page contain a link to /admin/primary/siteA/anotherTest.html.  When we
acces the test.html the link is  /content/siteA/anotherTest.html and not
/admin/primary/siteA/test.html. 
 
Anybody has this problem or a solution for that problem. ? Is there any way
to have relative links in the content of  opencms pages ? 
 
Thanks 

Martin 

Can you write again how exactly your pages are linked and where they reside?
The names that you write about seem to be incomplete and it seems to be a
bit complicated.

Do you have two siblings with common content and these siblings point to a
resource but only relatively?
What exactly do you want to achieve? How are your links stored? inside of
some HTML field or as structured information.
