[opencms-dev] OpenCms9: Categories and Detail-Names get mixed up

[Patric Dosch]

Hey Christoph, 

now I have better understood the problem. Unfortunately, I do not the answer.

<%= OpenCms.getLinkManager().getRootPath(cms, "/.categories/news/category/financial-press/") %>
<%= OpenCms.getLinkManager().getRootPath(cms, "/.categories/section/") %>

That works for me, even if I take a category that is called as a content type (section).

A question, for which you need the rootpath with /sites/default/ for a category?

Regards, Patric

Hi Patric,

thanks for the hint. I didn't know about the new basename, but we had set the old one in opencms-workplace.xml and this overwrites the setting in CmsCategoryService.
At least as far as I understand the code. Nevertheless I changed the basename in workplace and in opencms-workplace.xml to "/.categories" but unfortunately with no effect.

To narrow my problem down
1) We have an arbitrary xml content. Lets say "/.content/articles/foo" with the detail name "foo"
2) We have a category with a similar name. Lets say "/_categories/maincategory/foo"
3) When we call 
	OpenCms.getLinkManager().getRootPath(cms, "/_categories/maincategory/foo"); it returns
	"/sites/default/.content/articles/foo"
and not 
	"/sites/default/_categories/maincategory/foo"

If this is meaningful behavior, it is beyond my understanding :) If someone else did encounter this and knows about a workaround,  I would be really grateful for some advice


Thanks and regards
Christoph
