list,
<br>
<br>
I have been looking into the XML format feature of opencms 6 and the
related documentation/samples.
<br>
I find that this feature is quite an accomplishment and I really like
it very much.
<br>
<br>
I am especially interested in the feature of mapping xml fields to file
properties.
<br>
This by itself seems to be quite straightforward.
<br>
<br>
But: now to my question: if I map an xml field to a property, then the
field is mapped to the property of that <span
class="moz-txt-underscore"><span class="moz-txt-tag">_</span>individual<span
class="moz-txt-tag">_</span></span> resource.
<br>
Yet, if I have various siblings which together point to the same
resource, then not only does each sibling have its individual
properties - there is also another set of properties, which is shared
by all siblings.
<br>
Can I also map an xml field to a <span class="moz-txt-underscore"><span
class="moz-txt-tag">_</span>shared<span class="moz-txt-tag">_</span></span>
property, instead of mapping it to an individual property of one
sibling? I didn't find anything on that.
<br>
<br>
If so, that would be extremely helpful. Also, even if it's not possible
at the time being - would it be possible to change that?
<br>
I don't mind to contribute some code for that, but I would really like
this feature to exist and it's hard to add something like that, if the
functionality is not there in the core.
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks & Regards
<br>
Christian
