[opencms-dev] Custom Module and Detail Page

[Alexander Kandzior]

·         I have another problem. I have a website where they will create
large quantities of news (4 daily), in this case we need to organize the
news into folders by year and month but in doing so stops working the detail
page.

 

I don’t really see why you must organize the news into folders like this. If
you would store all the news in a database, would you create a separate
table for each year and month of news?

 

·         Is there any solution to work the detail page with subfolders?

 

No, unfortunately not.

 

Kind Regards,

Alex.

Regaring your 2nd question:


- It is possible to have a certain resource type spread to multiple folders

within the /.content/ hierarchy? This would be required to create collectors

showing different articles, but using the same details page.

There are 2 options:

1. You create a subsite. The subsite will then have its own detail page and
content folder. So you have 2 detail pages for the same content, one in each
subsite. This would be a preferred solution to distinguish e.g. between news
issues by different departments. I this scenario you could also set
different read/write access to the different news folders.

2. You leave all resources in the same folder, but use a category to
distinguish different types of e.g. news. There are ready made collectors
for this which collect all news only of category A or B. There is also a
category selection widget which you should use in you news XSD, so that the
content manager can easily define the category of the news.

I recommend option 2 if you don't need the different read/write access.

Kind Regards,
Alex.

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if there are any specifications or tutorials to get a
details page to work with my custom module.

>From what i've gathered from various tutorials and the wiki was the
following:

- Create a own module as well as the module_config (.config) file and
adjust the all Resourcetype values accordingly to my requirements
(Typename, Name within the .content directory, Pattern)

- Create a config folder within the module and the related
"content.sitemap.config" file. I've supplied (type name, folder, pattern
and formatter settings)

- Create a details page using the sitemap editor for the related
resourcetype.


Further i've created a configurable list (from the provided opencms
module) and configured it to show a listing of the designated resources.
Problem is that the links are not interchanged to the details page, but
still point to the /.content/<resourcetype>/xy_00001.html files.


Another question would be if it is possible to have a certain resource
type spread to multiple folders within the /.content/ hierarchy. This
would be required to create collectors showing different articles, but
using the same details page.
Example:

ResourceType: CustomNews
should be stored in /.content/news
as well as in /.content/archive

It would work to have 2 different configurable lists showing those
contents, but I'm not able to map it to the same details page.
Any help appreciated!

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Markus Fischboeck
