[opencms-dev] Start with folder settings doesn't work

[Zdenek Mach]

So, I have looked into the source code and from my point of view it is a bug
- in class org.opencms.workplace.CmsWorkplace, method initWorkplaceSettings.

There is a check of existence of folder "Start with folder". But this check
is always performed using "currentSite", because of finally block on line
544: cms.getRequestContext().setSiteRoot(currentSite);

The check should be performed using "Start with site", which is read on line
516: String siteRoot = settings.getUserSettings().getStartSite();

 

As I see this bug is also in 7.5.x versions. The new version 8 has different
implementation of this check where it should be ok.

 

Best regards,

Zdenek Mach

Hi all,

 

I have fresh installation of OpenCms 7.0.5, logged as Admin. When I set
preferences "Start with site"="/sites/default/" and "Start with
folder"="/demopages/" it works - after login I have desired site and folder
selected.

Then I created new site "zmach" according to
http://opencms-wiki.org/MultiSite_configuration_instructions. When I now
change the preferences "Start with site"="/sites/zmach/" and "Start with
folder"="/myfolder/" and  login again, the site is selected but the folder
is ignored - I am in the root of my new site.

 

Is it a bug or I created site badly?

 

Thanks and regards,
