[opencms-dev] What's in a sibling?

[Carl Alex Friis Nielsen]

Siblings of a ressource are references to the same content, but can have separate properties (but not must if that is desired) - THERE IS ONLY ONE CONTENT for each set of related siblings.
 
If you download the KB Suite, you can see how siblings can be used to handle mulitlingual sites - you can get it from http://www.kb.dk/en/kb/it/dup/KBSuite.html
 
Cheers,
 
Carl

Hi all, 

 

Just to follow up on the recent discussion on siblings, I just want to check, if I understand the concept correctly. I had thought that a sibling is basically a clone of the original page. But once created, is it still linked to the original? And does it change when the original changes? What sort of things are people using siblings for? 

 

Sorry about these high-level questions. I  am hoping that siblings might be a solution to our problem with managing the site for several English-speaking locales. 

 

Cheers, 

 

Martin
