<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=339433708-08052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I am currently playing around with your KB Suite which
looks great. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=339433708-08052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I want to give you my feedback
on it </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=339433708-08052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I installed all modules in the correct order with worked
smoothly (did a tomcat restart afterwards). </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=339433708-08052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I was also able to create files for all of
your content types.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=339433708-08052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=339433708-08052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I created a "kbdemo_standardside" type file and
choose as a component a formerly created "lokalmenu" type
file.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=339433708-08052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>So far the creation of pages seems to be
easy.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=339433708-08052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=339433708-08052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Unfortunately I ran into a few
problems:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=339433708-08052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2> - The biggest one is that no matter what content
type I click on to display the content I get the error message "<FONT
face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3> It's not possible to get the
String value of a nested XML content definition."</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=339433708-08052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2> - Another problem is, that I don't know how to
combine the different content types.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=339433708-08052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2> - The documentation module does not contain files i
can directly click on and have an explanation on how to use your suite. I
expected a module similar to the documentation modules from
Alkacon.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=339433708-08052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=339433708-08052008><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>My question to you is, if you can give a short (step by
step) explanation on how to use your suite.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=339433708-08052008><FONT face=Arial

color=#0000ff size=2>I am sorry to bother you with this, because you did great
work. The possiblities with the KB suite seem to be great. But
I simply don't know how to use it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

[opencms-dev] KB Suite of OpenCms modules released<BR><BR><BR>Hello,<BR><BR>At
the Danish Royal Library in Copenhagen we have just released the
first<BR>modules containing functionality we have developed for building our
web site<BR>using OpenCms.<BR><BR>They are all available under the LGPL
license and sources are available by<BR>request.<BR><BR>Right now the
following five modules are available for download:<BR>dk.kb.component - our
base component framework dk.kb.componentlib - some<BR>component types
dk.kb.menu - an alternative method for building menus in<BR>OpenCms
dk.kb.hspalte - a mechanism for inheriting content<BR>dk.kb.documentation -
the base documentation of the KB suite - documentation<BR>and demo of the
modules listed above plus other presentation on how we do<BR>things on our
site (handling multi lingual sites etc.)<BR><BR>more are in the pipeline
- they are in the process of being properly<BR>documented.<BR><BR>If you
want to know more I will be happy to answer questions and discuss<BR>this in
Köln next week.<BR><BR>You can download it here:<BR><BR><A
