[opencms-dev] adding items to a list

[Christoph Fröhlich]

We will face this issue in a current project as well.
We haven't start working on it, but my first approach will possibly look like this:

a) When there is no item in the list, render a custom "add new item" button. 

Clicking the button triggers the following code:

b) Determine name of the new resource.
You can ask any Collector for a name that follows a certain pattern and does not exist in a specific folder
String createLink = OpenCms.getResourceManager().getContentCollector("allInFolder").getCreateLink(cmso, "allInFolder", "/.content/articles/n_%(number).html|v8article");

c) Create the resource programmatically
 A good instruction how to do this can be found here:
http://lists.opencms.org/pipermail/opencms-dev/2011q2/035914.html

d) reload the list. The new item appears

e) After the list was reloaded, the User uses the ADE-edit-Button to edit the new item

It is not perfect, since it would be more convenient for the user to see the edit form instantly after clicking on "Add new Item".
But it may serve as a workaround.

Regards
Christoph
