[opencms-dev] Disable Static Export Issue

[Christian Steinert]

Dear Edwin

I also observed that it creates problems in the workplace if static export is completely disabled because some workplace resources (mostly CSS files, it seems) will not be accessed correctly anymore even if they exist in the correct location.

The best you can do is to set it to the "on demand" handler which, I think, is also the default setting. This will not cause any publish activity by the system except when a page is requested that has not yet been exported. So in a way, if you set the setting to "on demand" then it will not do any harm and opencms will then construct the correct URLs to also access the statically exported workplace resources.

All the best
Christian
