Ross,
I think it *is* respective of what's in your locationmap. If you assign
a category to a resource in types.xml, then you *must* specifically
match that category in the locationmap. Currently, you have a "catch
all" matcher which resolves to an empty ("") category. This means that
for all folders that are not specifically matched in your
locationmap.xml (such as the news folder), only those types will be
shown which have no category assigned to them in types.xml. This is why
types disappear when you assign a category to them: they don't match the
empty category anymore. In short, when you return "" in your
locationmap, this will select all types without a category.
If you want to restrict the amount of available types in specific
folders, but for all other locations you want to show all types, then
you have to add a "default" category to every resource like I suggested
before, and return "default" instead of "" for the catch all matcher in
the locationmap.

Hi Dennis,
thanks for your help. It seems that once I add a 'category' attribute on to
any resource element, then irrespective of what is in my 'locationmap.xml'
that resource no longer shows up in the drop down.
I must be missing something fundamental here.
I tried a similar test on a brand new 'out the box' version of the v6.05.03,
where I put :
category="text-category"
on to the text resource. At this point it stopped showing up in the drop
down.
Thanks for your help in advance,
regards
Ross

Hi guys,
I seem to have lost my way somewhere between CMS v6.04.x to the latest
version v6.05.03. Previously I used an entry in locationmap.xml like:
<match pattern="*:/content/documents/njw/news/*/**">
<location src="news-category"/>
</match>
this would lookup a 'category' attribute in my types.xml document with a
value of 'news-category',
therefore when in the CMS if I tried to add a document under
/njw/news/2008/02/02, the only entry in the types drop down would be 'News
Article'.
I see the types.xsd now has no 'category' attribute, and instead, there is
'type' ?
Can someone point me to the documentation detailing how to use the new
setup?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Ross.
