[opencms-dev] Custom Module and Detail Page

Fri Jul 13 11:57:26 CEST 2012

Hey Alex,

the Category Collector does not support the New-Icon, @org.opencms.file.collectors.CmsCategoryResourceCollector.getCreateParam(CmsObject, String, String), then how can it work? 

Our collector supports the new function to make new entries directly on the page.
When creating a new entry lacks the category widgets and become visible only after saving. Screenshot attached.

I think that this is not possible with the standard tools, you can correct me.
If this is a problem of configuration, I would be very grateful for a tip.

Configuration:
<layout element="Category" widget="CategoryWidget" configuration="category=jobs/types|onlyleafs=true"/>
<layout element="Location" widget="CategoryWidget" configuration="category=jobs/locations|onlyleafs=true"/>

Regards, Patric

The category widget works well for us, so the issues may be in your template or configuration.

Kind Regards,
Alex.

Hey Alex, hey Markus...

I used option two in my projects. 

I have reported two problems in this regard ... In the new system here:
https://github.com/alkacon/opencms-core/issues/35
https://github.com/alkacon/opencms-core/issues/36 (screenshots are missing)

This is also interesting in this context.
https://github.com/alkacon/opencms-core/issues/27

Is there anything new on this?

Regards, Patric

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
