[opencms-dev] OpenCms 8 Understanding

[Polina Smagina]

Hello Sandrine,


1) Available resource types in a site:

The resource types which can be selected via ADE add dialog and 
drag&dropped to the container page do not depend on the template property.
This resource types have to be configured in the sitemap configuration 
file. The path to this file has to be set in the property 
"config.sitemap" on you sub sitemap or on the site folder. This is one 
way to configure resource types.

The other posibility is to define the resource types inside of the 
module. In that case set the path to the sitemap config of the module as 
a module parameter and restart OpenCms. If you did so you can export the 
module and import it on another OpenCms, after the restart the 
configured resource types will/should be directly available in the new 
system. However If you add a sitemap config for the same resource types 
inside your site, it will overwrite the configuration of the module.

So normally you can choose one of the above possibilities to configure 
the resource types.


2) Drag and drop content:

Does the formatter jsp of the resource types, which cannot be dropped 
into containers compile? If you just click on the formatter jsp, there 
should not be any syntax errors. Please also check the log file for 
possible errors.

How did you configure the container inside of the templates? Did you set 
the type and width? Did you use the minwidth and maxwidth attributes for 
the formatter configuration?


3) Locales:

Please give some details how do you localize the site and describe the 
steps you did in more details.

Polina.
