[opencms-dev] Accessing File Contents

[Dwayne Kristjanson]

I think it must be that I'm not in the correct context. I can identify the files, but not any of their contents. I was misspoke when I said the "correct title" loads.  I have no idea what I need to do after the contentload to get contentshow to grab the correct element. This is what isn't working right now:

<cms:contentload collector="allInFolderDateReleasedDesc"
                 param="/mysite/articles/|xmlpage"
                 editable="true">
<p>Contents of mainbox element in the file <cms:contentshow element="${opencms.filename}" /></p>
<div>
<cms:contentshow element="mainbox" />
</div>
</cms:contentload> 

The filename will show up correctly, but the contentshow for the element itself gives back "??? mainbox ???". I suppose this means I'm not in that page's context, but how do I switch?

(Oh, and thanks for the help. It's greatly appreciated.)

Hello,

a piece of code will be helpful :-)


Basically use <cms:contentshow element="desired_element_name" /> however if you are in the wrong context, you may end up receiving question marks.
