Yes, there are definitely some issues there. When I originally coded it, I had the meaning of the two ContentAssoc.contentId/To fields reversed from what it is now and I may not have been consistent. The logic that David Jones came up with is that you take the parent contentId and a mapKey and you go "to" the subcontent. It would not make sense the other way around, since you don't need the mapKey to go to a parent. So contentId is for the parent and contentIdTo is for the child.
If you are like me, you probably didn't know what mapKey was for :0) It is basically so that a contentId can identify the subcontent that goes on a page and the various mapKeys (eg. MAIN, SUMMARY, HEADER, FOOTER, etc.) identify where they go on a page. I don't think the current documentation will help you much. I was swamped yesterday, but I will try to put together a list of where current examples are. I just did a site where the CMS was used to manage content for various pages. I think that code should go back into the project, but I need to talk to the client to make sure it is ok and then figure out in what form it should go in. -Al On 7/3/07, David Künzler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Al, everyone, another thing that looks strange to me is that <@limitedSubContent ... takes an argument subContent which is used as the "contentAssoc TO" and returns the "contentAssoc FROM". This indicates that "contentAssoc TO" is the subcontent but then I get back the "parent content" and from the name of the <@limitedSubContent ... function I'd expect to get subcontents. I know there was an issue with content/subcontent direction. Is this still a problem? Thanks, David -----Original Message----- From: Al Byers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Montag, 2.

I coded much of the original CMS from David Jone's design, but Andrew Zeneski has added a lot of enhancements with which I am still becoming familiar. I am using CMS for sites other than e-commerce and would be glad to answer your questions, if I can, though I struggle with it a bit, myself. -Al On 7/2/07, David Künzler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm using the content/WebSites/CMS functionality to build a Web Site and I > have many questions I'll post in the dev Mailing List. > > For this list my question is which OFBiz version I should use.
