[opencms-dev] XML Content not showing in Add Content list

[Christoph Fröhlich]

Hi Henry,

you need to add a new vfs resource of type "module configuration".
In that resource you have create a new resource type entry.
In the entry, select your custom type, select a folder where to store the new instances and set a naming scheme.

When creating new content type instances with ADE (by dragging them to the frontend containers) you do not specify explicitly anymore where the new vfs resource shall be created and how it shall be named.
Therefore you have to configure it in advance. This is the reason why you need a module configuration

We place our Module Configurations in the root folder of our models and call them ".config". To be honest, I don't know whether this is a requirement, but it works for us, so we do it that way.


an example for a resource type entry looks like this:
------------------------
 <ResourceType>
      <TypeName><![CDATA[f3articleEndUser]]></TypeName>
      <Folder>
        <Name><![CDATA[/article/]]></Name>
      </Folder>
      <NamePattern><![CDATA[f3ae_%(number).html]]></NamePattern>
    </ResourceType>
------------------------

If you specify an folder *name*, it is interpreted relatively to "/.content".
If you specify a folder *path* give an absolute path.

Regards Christoph
