[opencms-dev] How to map a property with a xml content element ?

[Alain TOMASIAN]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your help :-)

This solution isn't good for me because it's affect a global OpenCMS application.

I prefer extend OpenCms with developing a custom widget for a structured content.

Regards,

Alain.
