[opencms-dev] long support for xmlpage type ?

[Tobias Herrmann]

Hi Georgi, hi Paul,

we are currently not planing to remove the xmlpage feature. Definitely  not with the next major version.
The same goes for the structured xmlcontent. This feature is still the core of our current templates, the containerpages being xmlcontents themselves.

If you have issues with the new editor, you can either wait for the upcoming release of OpenCms 8.5.1 which will resolve a few issues with the editor still present in version 8.5.0, or you can switch to the old editor that is still available in the current version.

Feature wise we will keep our focus on improving templates using the containerpages. We think they are very flexible and allow a very precise control of layout and content placement. You should really take a closer look at the concept before disregarding it all together.


Greetings, Tobias

I'm not sure what the problem is; might be the new Acacia editor, might be OpenCms itself, might be some kind of incompatibility in our modules.)
