Hello again,
that was exactly what I was looking for. I have not had a course on OpenCMS or else the teacher would have told me about this feature. I tried it just now and it does exactly what I want. Thanks!
Too bad that OpenCMS does not have a cron mechanism, or a mechanism whereby a login by the administrator triggers certain scripts. That way I wouldn't have to do the backups manually. Or do you have a solution for that as well? Like submitting the form data with a script instead of the HTML GUI?
Best regards,
Marko
