[opencms-dev] In same document, show content from different vfs-locations

[Yves Glodt]

Hello  Achim,

direct edits still work as expected, yesterday.. today the direct edit 
somehow disappeared, although no settings or template code had 
changed... 

Don't worry about confused editors :-), we have no choice in this case 
and there is since some time a "common" and "individual" space in the 
vfs, where content in "individual" overwrites content from "common".

SSO in our case means that the browser has (if the user is logged-in) a 
certain cookie, and the template of the site checks in the DB whether 
the cookie corresponds to a valid session and reacts appropriately.

I guess it could be interesting to have a document (or seminar :) ) 
about best practices how to built private websites with OpenCms, which 
are linked to an erp-database :-)

Thanks for your suggestions,
Yves
