[opencms-dev] question about nested content

[Borja Fernandez Pillado]

Hi Tim,

I'm gonna try to explain you what you have to do for working all these
things out and why it doesn't work. Well, in the first xml content you have
a VFS field, where you edit a path, everything ok till here. Although the
path is pointing to another xml content, it doesn't matter, it is just a
path, so there's no more information in this field.
So If you write in your jsp
<cms:contentload><cms:contentloop><cms:contentshow> you are getting the
directions, the paths which you edited previously.
The way that I solve this is keeping the path in the pageContext and then I
open another <cms:contentload>. This is an example:

<cms:contentload collector="XXX" param="XXX"  >
     <cms:contentcheck ifexists="FieldVFS">
           <cms:contentloop element="FieldVFS">

                <c:set var="myPath"> <cms:contentshow/> </c:set>
                <cms:contentload collector="singleFile"
param="%(pageContext.myPath)"  >
                      // Your code here
                </cms:contentload>

           </cms:contentloop>
     </cms:contentcheck>
</cms:contentload>

As you can see, we get the path from the first xml and then we get the
information of the nested xml content.  I hope to help you.
