Hi Konstantin.
Thank you for answering.
It would be very nice to have combination of input modules in sitemap
substition values. Waiting for this to be implemented in one of the further
versions of Cocoon (hopefully).
For now I will just use substring-before and substring-after to get the
desired result.
One last question:
What is the sample (samples/module) that you are talking about?
There is no module directory under samples directory (at least in my
distribution,
that I downloaded just this week).
Also, if I just print http://localhost:8080/cocoon/samples/modules (or
module)
I get an error of "resource not found".
So where is this sample? I would really like to look at it.
Thank you for your help.
Anna

Hi Anna and Team!
CC-ing this message to Cocoon Dev list, cause it raises a more general
requirement for possibility to combine input modules with other input
modules in sitemap substitution values (see below for a use-case).

Quite natural desire. Unfortunately, this is not supported (I hope yet), but
it would be very useful.

Don't bother so much about stupid questions, if it were really stupid then
I'd simply ignore it ;)

Yes, that's true. The documentation for Input module is very short, but I
hope that the sample (/samples/modules) demonstrates most of the
possibilities.
