<pre wrap="">Thanks, for supporting the idea of splitting it up.
Now I still have another question. The content-module would specify some
details-pages when displaying the content. What I would like to do in my
template-module is to present the most recent news in the templatearea
(not in the content area). How would that work when the actual
contenttype is in another module? And would the template-module then not
be dependent on the content-module (for instance, in templateone it was
the other way aroun)? Or is the dependecy just for checking that certain

<pre wrap="">modules are available on install?Jonathan already wrote a long answer - just to raise the IMO most
important point:
Any module is allowed to access any files in the File System. But since
your template-module depends on the content-type-module, your
template-module should explicitly have this dependency set in its
property. In this way, you enforce, that the required module with all of
its files and setings is available and then you also don't get into
practical trouble, if your temploate-module can only function when the
other one is imported.
Opencms will enforce module dependencies upon import, i.e. you can only
import a module when all its dependencies were imported before.

<pre wrap=""><!---->Thannks for that explanation.
But I´ve got another one :)
I am thinking that my content-module would also consist of details-pages
for its structured contents but the reference to this is usually
hardcoded in the module description (like the photogallery in
templateone). Would it be possible that a template completetly
overwrites that property and create its own details-pages (maybe not
using one value). Would it be enough to overwrite the property (for the
page rendering the content) on the parent folder, or is this not
possible at all?

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly. Do you want to
switch the template of a file depending on its parent folder, rather
than tying the template directly to an individual page?<br>
<br>
As far as I know you can set the template property on a folder and not
on the files in that folder. In that case, the folder-setting should
carry over to your files.<br>
<br>
This should also work with several folder levels in between. <br>
However, if a file has an explicit template or template-elements
setting, then any setting for your parent folders will not have an
effect. A folder cannot override the settings for individual resources.<br>
<br>
Again, I have not tried setting templates through folder properties - I
think that it works but I could be wrong. Maybe someone else has
actually done that?<br>
<br>
Also, what you can definitely do is to create some kind of meta
template, where all resources have the same JSP template assigned to
them, but the code of that JSP decides, which actual template gets
included an thus used. (And of course, for that decision, you yourself
could check parent folder properties and include the desired template
into your meta template, as needed). This will definitely work, since
you have complete freedom of what you do in your JSPs.<br>

I am asking all these question so I can setup my structure right away
from the beginning.
