The individual news messages are usually not part of the main navigation / sitemap. That is where the detail page comes into the picture. You define one page as the detail page for a specific piece of content, e.g. the “News detail page”. This detail page has a place in the sitemap. So all individual news messages are automatically displayed using this detail page, and their URL is calculated automatically. The mechanism that shows the news on the detail page is in pretty much the same as on a standard container page, with the difference that the content for this specific container is selected dynamically and not by hand.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>What I'm unclear on is when I use an internal link to a specific piece of content, where this goes to, what's loaded, and the use of detailpages to provide a specific formatting/template/rendering for all resources of the same type.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Let’s say you have a content type “News”, and this has the URI /.content/news/news_00012.html in OpenCms. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>If you directly link to this content in OpenCms 8, then the following happens: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>OpenCms recognizes that you are in an OpenCms 8 ADE enabled sitemap.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>2.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Depending on the sitemap you are currently in, it will look up the configured detail page for news.
