[opencms-dev] multiple template-elements

[Roman Uhlig Maxity.de]

Hello Polina,

thank you very much for that info. Sounds like exactly the thing we need. I've never heard or read about this "default_bodies" mechanism, neither in the doc nor in the wiki. Good to know! ;)

Btw, we just managed to handle it by using includeSilent() instead of include(), so missing include-elements won't throw an error. But your suggestion is much better, we'll try that instead.

Kind regards,
Roman

Hello Roman,

try to add your own default body file to your module.
When creating a new XML page using the "New" wizard the user selects a 
"default body" to copy to the new resource.
This "default body" contains a preset XML structure corresponding to the 
page XML elements. In default case only the first element will be created.

Default bodies are text files that have to be placed in a subfolder 
named "default_bodies" of an OpenCms module folder. For following 
template-elements:

"text1*|Text,images*|Images,title*|Title"

the content of the file can look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<pages xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.opencms.org/dtd/6.0/xmlpage.xsd">
   <page language="de">
     <element name="text1">
       <links/>
       <content/>
     </element>
     <element name="images">
       <links/>
       <content/>
     </element>
     <element name="title">
       <links/>
       <content/>
     </element>
   </page>
   <page language="en">
     <element name="text1">
       <links/>
       <content/>
     </element>
     <element name="images">
       <links/>
       <content/>
     </element>
     <element name="title">
       <links/>
       <content/>
     </element>
   </page>
</pages>

The default body file should have a Title property as a nice name.
