[opencms-dev] access content in main.jsp (container pagetemplate)

[Michael Emmerich]

Hi Patric,

in our template III we use the a specific resource for both header and 
footer. This resource is dropped directly into the containerpage, in our 
case the model container page, so the header and footer are the same on 
all container pages. Additionally there are two containers for header 
and footer inside of the template jsp.
To add the header to the containterpage the resource is dropped into the 
container of the template header of the model container page. Then the 
resource is edited, so some content is added. Afterwards the same 
resource is dropped into the template footer of the model container 
page. The formatter of this xmlcontent differes between the container 
names and makes the right output using ${cms.container.name == 
'headercontainer'}. Please compare the formatter jsp and the schema 
definition in the OpenCms 8 Template 3 frontend Module:

/system/modules/com.alkacon.opencms.v8.template3/formatters/config.jsp
/system/modules/com.alkacon.opencms.v8.template3/schemas/config.xsd

So If you want to use a specific article for you header. You should 
create a special container for the header in your template. Make the 
article droppable into this container by impelemeting an own formatter 
and specifying it in the article schema definition. Inside of the 
formatter you can use the information provided by the article and 
display it. Then drop the article to your containerpage.

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards,
Michael.
