[opencms-dev] CategoryWidget in openCms 8.5

[Antoine PINEAU]

Hello,

We implemented the new CategoryWidget which allows to directly select multiple categories in a xmlcontent.
The problem is that we cannot open the CategoryWidget filtered on the items of 1 category (using the configuration category="")

We have different types of categories (markets, applications, business units, ... that are located in /system/_categories) and different types of content (news, product, ... that are located in /shared/.content/contents) and we don't want all the categories to be applicable on all the contents.

For News, we only want markets and business units:
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">
  ...
  <xsd:complexType name="OpenCmsNews">
    <xsd:sequence>
      ...
      <xsd:element name="Market" type="OpenCmsVfsFile" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
      <xsd:element name="BusinessUnit" type="OpenCmsVfsFile" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
      ...
    </xsd:sequence>
    ...
  </xsd:complexType>

  <xsd:annotation>
    <xsd:appinfo>
      <resourcebundle name="com.arkema.galaxy.opencms.core.newseventsworkplace"/>
      ...
      <layouts>
        ...
        <layout element="Market" widget="CategoryWidget" configuration="category=/markets/"/>
        <layout element="BusinessUnit" widget="CategoryWidget" configuration="category=/businessunits/"
        ...
      </layouts>
    ...
    </xsd:appinfo>
  </xsd:annotation>
</xsd:schema>

For News, we only want applications, markets and business units:
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">
  ...
  <xsd:complexType name="OpenCmsRange">
    <xsd:sequence>
      ...
      <xsd:element name="Application" type="OpenCmsVfsFile" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
      <xsd:element name="Market" type="OpenCmsVfsFile" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
      <xsd:element name="BU" type="OpenCmsVfsFile" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
      ...
    </xsd:sequence>
    ...
  </xsd:complexType>

  <xsd:annotation>
    <xsd:appinfo>
      ...
      <layouts>
      <layout element="ShortDescription" widget="TextareaWidget" />
        ...
        <layout element="Application" widget="CategoryWidget" configuration="category=/applications/" />
        <layout element="Market" widget="CategoryWidget" configuration="category=/markets/" />
        <layout element="BU" widget="CategoryWidget" configuration="category=/businessunits/" />
        ...
      </layouts>
      ...
    </xsd:appinfo>
  </xsd:annotation>
</xsd:schema>

We also tried to use an absolute path for the categories (category="/system/_categories/applications/") without any success.

Can you give me tips on how to do that ?

Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
