is there a special reason why you want to store all testimonials in a
single page? My first idea would be to store them in separate
documents because this makes the repository much more flexible (e.g.,
you have separate meta data and workflow instances for the testimonials).
IMO the only reason for storing multiple content items in a single
document is the limited scalability of the sitetree, but this should
only be noticeable when there are several 10.000 or 100.000 documents.
The collection resource type is a convenient way to handle collections
of documents. Maybe it could also be useful for the testimonials.

Thanks Andreas,
There is not any special reason of going for a single XML file.
I got your point of storing separate documents, I agree it would be more
convenient to handle version control, repository and other CMS related
tasks if we go for separate XMLs.

hummm, I don't think so. If we have this xml structure :

>> <testimonial>
>> <title>blabla</title>
>> <content>......</content>
>> </testimonial>
>> <testimonial>
>> <title>blabla2</title>

Hi Florent
I wanted to ask that how to add
<testi></testi> bloc.
While making it editable using one form editor. I'm not much clear
about this.
Please suggest.

When we edit with one-form editor and want to add a testimonial, just
add
<testi></testi> bloc.
Thanks for the response Florent, but how will it append the same XML.
I'm bit confused about this.
Please suggest.

Hi Florent
Thanks for the guidance, if I follow these steps, the module created
will work in a way that it will create different XMLs for each of the
testimonial page like other index_{language}.xml files. But I wanted to
place all the testimonials in a single XML file.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

</testimonial>
</testimonials>
When we edit with one-form editor and want to add a testimonial, just
add
<testi></testi> bloc.
Another solution could be inspired by news module :
- a testimonials component-instance that is a collection
- sub-testimonial component-instant that is a testimonial xml structure
In this case each testimonial is an xml file (in the testimonials
folder),
but when you open testimonials the collection aggregate for you each
single
xml in one.
IMO this second solution have to be if content of each testimonial could
be
long.
HTH and be careful that is just some dev ideas, I don't implement
something
like that (first no, second idea yes in a some way) for now.
I'm interesting in this subject, so keep in touch.

Hi Vik
For me my requirements are :
- add and modify a vocabulary I have an xml like that :
<voc:team>
<voc:longname>Chealsea FC</voc:longname>
<voc:shortname>Chelsea</voc:shortname>
<voc:synonyms>
<voc:synonym>Fulham stadium</voc:synonym>
</voc:synonyms>
<voc:team>
- add some pre-defined properties (attributes values) to a link :
<a href="...." evaluation="good|middle|bad">link description</a>. I
would
like that my user have just to select "evaluation" value in a
drop-down
list.
For sure, we have to do one for see where it can be generalized, but
IMO,
the hardest thing to made generic is the component-instance
declaration
[1].
After that, the form to fill information would be hard to generalize,
but
if we use cform it will just be an xml to adapt to our
requirements...

What's your requirement? I wonder if it can be made generic as you
say.
Also can any of the lenya dev's comment if we are following the
correct
approach?
Or should we be defining a usecase?

A very good first step will be :
http://lenya.apache.org/docu20/tutorials/newResourceType/newResourceTypePart1.html
IMO steps are :
1 - define your xml testimonial's structure
2 - build a rng
3 - add module
4 - enable a one form editor
5 - add modif/suppress on each testi
6 - enable form (with 1 field for each information)
7 - add some cooool javascript

for 1 to 4 I'm not really affraid... We have doc ! But for 5 to
7...
I you are OK to put your code on a public svn [1], I will like to
code

you [2]

Hi All
I want to create a module "Testimonials" (it will handle all the
operations related to the testimonials like writing, reading,
editing,
deleting etc.)
My idea of doing this is as follows:
*1. User will create a new testimonial using CMS menu.*
When user will click on "New Testimonial" option a new form will
be
there which will contain fields related to the new testimonial
(name,
info, testimonial-text, picture etc). Then user will fill and
save
the testimonial.
*2. User will be able to update, delete testimonials using CMS.*
On the testimonial page in authoring area, there will be
edit/delete
option for each testimonial.
*3. All the testimonials will be placed in a single XML file.*
*4. In the live area there will be a testimonials page which will
show
all the testimonials as read only.*
*/*User here refers to CMS user./*
I don't have much idea about implementing/writing lenya usecases.
Please Suggest
