This chapter explains how to configure
In case a module adds a new resource type (as defined in the module's manifest) to OpenCms and you want to make this automatically available to the ADE after the module is installed, you can place a .config file of the type module_config inside the root folder of your module.
The module configuration file offers three tabs:
Defines a content type‘s name and name pattern, default folder, formatter and more.
Defines which properties get displayed under the "Basic Properties" tab for the property dialog in the ADE.
Define named functions that are shipped with the module. For named functions, function detail pages can be added in the sitemap editor.
The central place where the content types available through ADE's Add Content dialog and other global settings are configured is the /.content/.config file. Settings for sub-sitemaps follow the same mechanism with the .content/.config file based in the sub-sitemap.
The sitemap configuration offers 6 tabs:
Defines a content type‘s name and name pattern, default folder, formatter (optional) and more.
Defines which properties get displayed under the "Basic Properties" tab for the property dialog in the ADE.
Defines template models to be used by the sitemap editor for generating new container pages. Most of the configuration is added when a new template model is added via the sitemap editor. Read more on template models here.
Defines detail pages used for the specified content type in the sitemap. Most of the configuration is done automatically when a detail page is added via the sitemap editor.
The correct ADE configuration for each site can be cumbersome. Especially, when you have a multi-site installation with various templates present. Typically, the types, formatters and functions that make sense depend (only) on the template that is used. To ease the configuration, sitemap master configurations are introduced.
The idea is to add a sitemap master configurationChoose type "Sitemap master configuration" in the "Configurations"-tab to add a configuration in the explorer. to the module that contains your template (JSP)We recommend to use a configurations subfolder of your module's main folder. and reference it in the sitemap configuration for sites that use the template.
The master configuration file offers four tabs:
where the options are (nearly) identically to the ones in the sitemap configuration.
